There are a lot of websites about dinosaurs but, they aren't accurate as you think. So, here is a good site that you should look at and follow:  SV-POW! So, what is the science behind these movies? In  Jurassic Park 3 , the Spinosaurus runs on 2 hind legs fighting a T.rex.  In real life, it would swim and it wouldn't fight that way. The Spinosaurus wouldn't roar in real life. Here is a video on that:  Same with the Velociraptor.  It didn't have any feathers and at least it should've had Stage 2 feathers on its arms and body. A new study showed that Velociraptor had feathers based on quill nobs. Here is another video on that:

Apatosaurus Apatosaurus was a massive dinosaur. It lived in the Jurassic in Colorado. It's name means " Deceptive Lizard". The dinosaur used to be called Brontosaurus  but, the name got changed. Since you have to use the name it was first called for a species, Apatosaurus was the name it was called by. Some scientists still think that Brontosaurus  was a different species than Apatosaurus. Here is a video on Apatosaurus: Apatosaurus was featured a lot in pop culture. It is used for shirt designs and it is in various movies and video games. But, are those depictions scientifically accurate? Some people say yes and some say no but, I think the depictions are inaccurate. For example, the Apatosaurus in King Kong  is so inaccurate. It doesn't even look real. I think people should portray them like animals not beasts.

A new dinosaur movie is coming out this summer. It is the sequel of Jurassic World. In the movie, they have to rescue the remaining dinosaur species from Isla Nublar with an extra emphasis on Raptor Blue, the last remaining Raptor on the island. As you can see, the original T.rex from Jurassic Park  is in the movie as well but, there are new dinosaurs too. The new dinosaurs include: Carnotaurus Indoraptor Baryonx Stygimoloch Indoraptor is the new hybrid dinosaur in the movie and it is black with a yellow stripe.

Tyrannosaurus Rex One of the most ferocious dinosaurs was T.rex.  It lived in Montana 66 million years ago. The environment back then was swampy with lots of forests and was coastal. T.rex  didn't roar. In fact, it made a croaking sound. Here is a video: As the video shows, T.rex didn't really make a loud sound. Jurassic Park's T.rex sound was made by combining an elephant, a tiger, and a lot of different animals. You can use a lot of animal sounds (ex. a crocodile, a panther, a puma, a jaguar, a leopard, a lion) to make a T.rex roar. Jurassic Park's T.rex is also inaccurate because it has wrinkly, naked skin instead of feathers. Here is another video that explains that: Finally, to conclude T.rex was about 42 feet long, about 20 feet tall, and about 6 tons.
