By now, they've been living and learning for however long Site B has been shut down.
More than long enough to make up their language and develop some hunting tricks.]

'They were not "experienced"' huh?? Sounds good to me...oh yeah, one problem: There's a little thing known as instinct! Velociraptors KNEW how to hunt since birth (JP:1) and if you caught the beginning of the movie, you must have gone to get some popcorn or something, you would know that via new scientific technology, the excavation team came to realize what they had not known before: The raptors instinctively (gosh there's that word again) communicated with a special resonant chamber. Here's the fun part; how come in JP:1 the head security game warden was killed by these awesome hunting tactics, with the head raptor "working it out"--NEVER ONCE MAKING THAT SAME HIGH-PITCHED COMMUNICATION SOUND they used now in JP:3!!! It's because the movie's point is to draw the same crowd and feed off the popularity of JP:1 (their wallets that is) without even a delicate consideration of the 'scientific data' that was in JP:1!! YES FOXTROT, it was a movie (great observation) And YES it was CRAP in it's redundant attempt to conclude on the species that have come to 'control' the island without using the concurrent ideas of JP:1. If you like to go to the movies completely engulfed in action without a care of intelligence, then this movie rocks. I, on the other-hand, prefer something to separate me from the other primate class. I read the original book; High expectations do tend to create a higher risk of great disappointment. By this I mean that the book was one of the best!!!
No offense to you Foxtrot; Red had her opinion, you had yours, and now I have had mine.
