Although this film may be a bit of a lemon from a technical point of view, if it inspires a new generation of young people to become vertebrate palaeontologists then some good will have come from it.”

I totally agree - I am just being a bit of a pedantic and grumpy bugger.

It is certainly making shitloads of money (see the movie thread on here) and who knows? The now inevitable fifth film in the series could have feathered and far more accurate dinosaurs in it.
I would like a 'giga-pod' to feature as one of the truly vast super-sauropod species would be really something to see and big herbivores are not always so placid either.
Just look at elephants and hippos.
Oh and also one of the more 'oddball' giant theropods to be in the sequel as well - Deinocheirus, Therizinosaurus or Gigantoraptor would fit the bill very nicely.
