The only part I didn't like was the raptors being super intelligent and being able to open doors and stuff. That was just a bit too unbelievable.

Well, I mean a dog can open a door like that, you just push the handles one way, not like a door knob, so idk.

Dogs don't tend to open doors like that on purpose though. They do it on accident when they are just playing/messing around. There is a difference there. The raptors clearly were intelligent enough to fully understand how a door works, and they purposefully opened the doors.

You understand that modern dinosaurs are what we call birds, and many birds are among the most highly intelligent animals on the planet

If crows had a body like that they would open doors no problem. Crows and many other birds are more intelligent than dogs and have a much greater ability to figure out multi step problems.

I can forgive them for basing the dinosaur on a deinonychus (which is what you see on screen) and calling it a velociraptor. Raptor is more fun, and again, brings you back to birds. Really fucking smart birds. IIRC in the book the raptors were smaller but I haven't read the book in a while

Basically just think of Jurassic Park as a tale of technology and science gone awry blended with a modern take on Hitchcock. The newer JP stuff is just action formula nonsense with dinos
