Coming out of the movie I had the distinct feeling of "6". This movie really seems like a 6/10 movie. Ya know the expression no one trains for second place... well this film feels like it was training for forth. The first Jurassic World was far from a GREAT movie but it was the best Jurassic movie we've had since the original and I saw a lot of potential moving forward. And Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom did the same thing The Lost World did, it dropped the ball and stared at it... except this time they are only half way up the hill. Their are a lot of things I like about the movie such as the use of flashing light to foreshadow a looming dangerous creature, the effects are slightly better, it was suspenseful (except in the third act where it fell into over used horror movie tropes), and the ideas of more dino experimentation was cool... that's about it. The way they tried to make the movie into a horror/action flick was really stupid, like if you're going to have this dinosaur- this killing machine chase this little girl or tool in this case, throughout the house just so you can have the dinosaur follow her into her bedroom to stick its claw out at her while she is under her covers is just pathetic. Great reuse of the last films ending Jurassic World I'm sure I won't notice. This film dropped the kids from the previous film for unlikable teen scream machines, say whatever you want about the kids in the previous movie but I at least cared about them and didn't find them irritating, the teens they used in this movie were just terrible from their ear piercing screaming to their terrible line delivery made watching them a choir. Let's recap in the last movie you had the I-Rex which is built up to be the killing machine of the T-Rex times 10 but it is defeated in 10 minutes by one T-Rex and a lonesome Raptor because they backed it close enough against the railings of a tank... fine. But you mean to tell me that when they do the same thing again but made sure to take all the best aspects of the two most legendary killers of world history that the I-raptor is killed by one singular velociraptor (who is infamous for being weaker alone than in groups/packs) and Chris Prat (who's character has become extremely disinteresting in this movie) because he was able to move away fast enough... I call bs. Is it the worst movie I've seen this year? NO, I've seen much worse. Is it a stupid summer blockbusters meant to be watch with your brain turned off and to sell toys? Yes, and as that... it does its job fine
(p.s. If you thought they were going to let the dinosaurs die at the end of the movie you should have thought back to when the studio announced THREE Jurassic Park movie. Sit back because we still have one more film as of now. After the next one I'll be Jurassiced out for a while...)
