Gruesomely bad followup to Jurassic World, full of gaping plot holes, contrived and ridiculous character behavior, and implausible occurrences even within the story's own logic.

It has the same problem as Lost World back in the day, thatGruesomely bad followup to Jurassic World, full of gaping plot holes, contrived and ridiculous character behavior, and implausible occurrences even within the story's own logic.

It has the same problem as Lost World back in the day, that much of the fun of Jurassic Park was always getting a VIP tour of a sprawling corporate theme park, and then watching it get destroyed. Removing the park from the equation drains away a ton of the entertainment value.

It's also dumb that this movie expects us to care deeply about the plight of the poor dinosaurs, since they have no lines, no real personalities, and spend a lot of the movie trying to eat the good guys. It's also VERY dumb that they just rehashed the old "we're gonna make mutant super-dinosaurs and use them as weapons" thing even though it was the worst part of the last movie. It just underlines that Jurassic Park/World can work well as a standalone movie, but there really isn't enough meat on the bone to justify a franchise.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are pretty decent leads, but the premise of the movie is just too contrived and stupid for them to redeem it. Watch later on Netflix, if at all.… Expand

Fallen Kingdom was TERRIBLE. One major character has 3 life-changing experiences in the spanse of about a couple of minutes. It takes no time to let the audience process anything that happens. It’s just immediately on to the next scene.

OH YEAH! Did you see the trailer and get excited about the T-Rex vs Lion or the Megalodon eating the surfers? Those shots were in an OUTRO MONTAGE. What you saw in the trailer is what you get! There’s nothing more to those scenes. This was one long 2 hour advertisement for JW3, and it SUCKED.… Expand

I am giving this film a 3 out of 10 for one very big reason... Progressive left has infected this film like a plague. Pro dinosaur rights, save them from extinction despite they would NEVER LIVE IN THE WILD, IN TODAYS CLIMATE/WORLD!!!!!!!!!! On top of that, there are two characters that SHOULD NOT come back for the sequel. The first is Zia, an overbearing, in your face, feminazi who wont let you forget it. The second is a scared, panzy IT guy named Franklin. Think Otacon from metal gear solid but twice the panzy. I am not OK with social political agendas in movies or tv, especially the progressive left pandering to their SJW/feminazi audience. It has no place in movies, outside of documentaries, instantly 5 points off for this element. This element takes up the first thirty to fourty minutes of the movie. Additionally, both Chris Pratts and Bryce Howards characters grew a bit, and learned a lot of lessons as the movie progressed... but the IT and feminazi learned nothing... at all... they were just annoying the entire damn way through.... allthough the IT guy did gave me a good chuckle here and there. I would have given the movie an 8 out of 10, if not for the progressive left infestation that plagues this movie.… Expand

It's not as entertaining as Jurassic World and a lot of the ideas that the film tries fall flat. If you're looking for a film that you can watch mindless that's just dumb fun, then I'd suggest it, but I'd avoid going to see it in theaters.

The cinematography had a lot of going for it at multiple points during this film. Though through the overuse of some of the most effective techniques they end up creating a film that slowly becomes less and less visually astounding until I was happy to leave the theater at the end. It starts out at a solid 8/10 in the cinematography/animation area but slowly lowers to about a 4/10. That said, the animation for most of the larger dinosaurs is done with the proper weight.

The music is pretty standard. Though when you compare modern-day composers to John Williams' score on the original film then you're going to find a fairly mediocre performance.

The writing is probably the worst part of the film. I can't go too far into it without spoiling the film. But the film is so predictable that the 5-year-old sitting behind me felt proud of himself because he knew what was going to happen next. The villains are either corrupt mercenaries or corrupt businessmen and the writers didn't really seem to want to pay too much attention to them as characters, instead opting to create an expendable character whose sole purpose is to be hated by both the film viewers and the characters in the film. There's also a lot of forced emotion in a few scenes that would only really affect a young child or an overly emotional teenager. It's basically baby's first action film, but at the same time, the film is much too violent for any child under the age of 11. At that point, they've already consumed better fiction through Netflix with shows like Voltron: Legendary Defenders or, heck, the first Jurassic World film.… Expand

I’m not even comparing it to the original Jurassic Park, no Jurassic sequel could be as awesome as that! No, this movie absolutely pales in comparison to the last movie, Jurassic World! While that movie had a pretty weak story and characters, the action was absolutely thrilling and I regularly rewatch it for that alone. It’s tied with Star Wars: The Force Awakens for my favourite movie of 2015. Fallen Kingdom didn’t have any of that. What little character the first movie had was gone, replaced with cartoon characters with exaggerated and over-the-top personalities, and it was much tamer in comparison. Most of the movie is set in a house and there’s only one dinosaur on the loose! What kind of Jurassic movie is that? That’s like something someone would make up as a joke, making fun of movie series that have clearly run out of ideas! Also, out of all the subplots in Jurassic World to follow up on, why did they choose the weaponized dinosaurs? That was by far the weakest aspect of Jurassic World! It’s stupid and makes absolutely no sense! There’s a lot of that in this movie, it feels like a Saturday morning cartoon! I have to say though, the ending was pretty awesome. I wish I didn’t see literally all of it in the trailers. I’m looking forward to Jurassic World 3, it has a very interesting setup that really makes me wonder why they didn’t just make that movie instead. They could’ve easily skipped over this movie and made the next movie this movie! Anyway, as you can tell, I really didn’t like this one. I don’t recommend it, even if you do like the other Jurassic movies.… Expand

The acting was campy, characters were stupid, the CG was average when used (although some noticeable practical effects were noticed and appreciated), and the story and ending were laughable. Not only that but the big bad dinosaur was nearly identical to the one from Jurassic World.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Instead of being a worthy sequel, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is concerned about setting up for another sequel and it fails at being a good movie. In the film, the writing is absolutely terrible with several bad decisions that ruin the franchise. The scene about auctioning the dinosaurs off was awful and made absolutely no sense. Also, the ending was one of the worst I've ever seen that takes the series way too far. Here's where I'm referring to the film setting up for a sequel as the dinosaurs are in our world. That is just going to make a terrible sequel to this movie. In fact, there's even more criticism as most of the characters are completely uninteresting and forgettable. Seriously, the only good thing about this film are the action scenes and visuals, but even some of their choices there are questionable.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has to be one of the worst films of 2018. It's a sequel to a film that is setting up for another sequel. At this point, I'm done watching any new Jurassic World films as the concept has now gone way too far. Please don't watch this film! I don't think that Jurassic Park needed sequels after The Lost World and this is proof. By far, this film has to be the worst in the series.… Expand

The second and third acts in particular feel more like a relentless aural and visual assault than cohesive story-telling. The script is barely there, so the performances are barely there, and all of it is in service of cramming in as much implausible dinosaur mayhem as possible in what feels like an interminable run time of two or three days.

Like all of the JP sequels, to the extent JW:FK has a plot and characters, they're all plug-and-play versions of the original. The kids in danger, check. The Great White Hunter, check, the moral lesson (don't mess with Mother Nature), check, the spunky but terrified computer whiz, the secret plan to make military dinosaurs... I guess to replace the less lethal sharks, lions and bears that currently form a large part of our armed force...check. And in the end there's the obligatory T Rex roar signalling the accounting department at Universal to immediately begin funding another sequel, to be directed by a guy with a **** YouTube channel.

And disregard the trailer entirely. That's not the film you're getting.

Wait for this one on Amazon or Redbox. It'll be there fairly soon, and it's probably a fun toss-away and you can play around on your phone during the dumb parts. Tip: Charge the battery fully.… Expand

Every character except for Owen, and maybe Claire are complete disaster, there was nothing i liked about any of them.

The script was all over the place, decisions from characters that didn't make sense or are stupid.

The villains are your basic, cartoonish, mustache twirling villains that are just doing it for the money. The "using dinosaurs as weapons" thing is touched once again, even though it was never a good idea from the start.

The movie turns into a horror movie, but instead of a haunted house, or a "monster" there was a dinosaur.

With all that being said, the visuals were outstanding.

But Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom falls flat on script, character development, poor villain and really didn't have a clear identity as a movie… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *Talks like a robot* Alright,here we are,Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. *End of robot voice*
Out of all the movies of 2018,this was one I was the least excited,not because of the franchise (I loved Jurassic Park,while the first Jurassic World was “Whatever”),but because of Universal’s horrible trackline of sequels that makes Disney’s trackline seem like something a kid really wants to see no matter what (wait a second…)
But,hearing its direction by Juan Antonio Bayona made me a tiny little bit interested (if you have seen The Impossible, you'll get it),as well as the fact that 50% of the movie was practical effects.
And coming out of it,it's a visually stunning movie filled with a great production….That ends up on one of the most laughable,angry (and lazy as hell) stories I've ever seen on screen. Maybe I'll add a Spoiler Warning here,but who knows…
The movie starts out fine,on a road where it's like “Okay,maybe the dark imagery and scenes aren't really necessary (since in a JP movie,you only need it when it's necessary) ,but let's see where this goes”,then,after the 50/57 minute mark,after Isla Nublar exploded and bursted out in flames,the story takes a HARD turn (I mean it),full of stupid choices and the one scene that will always make me think “It's going to happen. These sons of TNTs are actually Creeping doing it!”.
Before the big,boring 3rd Act/Chase Sequence thing starts, we're shown these new Dinosaur Hybrids,one being the Indoraptor,which is the Dino Villain of the movie,and these hybrids are being sent throughout the world. As the studio thinks “Oh,relax! They'll be excited for this new universe!” I was sitting there,thinking about my consumption of time with this “movie”,saying to myself in my head “Holy guacamole. Aside from maybe being harsh on Batman V Superman and TASM2,from now on,every studio will probably miss the point of 'just having fun and escaping reality for some hours’”.
What I'm trying to say is that,by the time the 3rd act goes,it's basically a trailer for the third movie (or worse,a JURASSIC UNIVERSE),that has no meaning to the story aside from “give us the next sack of money” or “more Jurassic movies! Excited?”,it gives nothing to the plot. The movie clocks at 128 minutes and sometimes it feels like a snooze-fest with all of its exposition dump (more so than Geostorm). However,the saddest/most disappointing part of this juggled mess is the production involved with it. The Visual Effects are cool to look at (especially the Animatronic Dinos),the music by Michael Giacchino was fine for the most part since the soundtrack was just “Generic Horror Music” or “Generic Jurassic Park Action Music”,and some of the cinematography was interesting (like the shot of the T-Rex biting the helicopter's ladder where a man has to climb up) and only one Sound Effect was questionable to me only… Why the hell did they low down the T-Rex’s “Roar” from the first trailer? Whenever I heard it in the first trailer in an IMAX theatre,it was great to listen to because it had that ultimate Bass Effect that would usually rumble a theater,especially an IMAX one. In the final movie,it comes out as big (sure),but mostly noisy. All in all,Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom feels like an interesting idea that is production-wise dazzling,but story and screenplay-wise,it comes up as a tragically sad mess. Here's to a 1000 other of these movies in the next decade,amirite guys?!? :-D… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains spoilers.

Fallen Kingdom, one of the worst movies of 2018. Jurassic World (2015) tied everything up and there was nothing left to answer, but since the movie made a lot of money here we are, with a sequel that nobody asked for.

The plot is ridiculous. Basically, a group of activists want to save the Dinosaurs from extinction because the island's volcano is about to erupt. The thing is, throughout the movie it is clear that these activists only really care about the dinosaurs, and they have absolutely no problem with destroying entire ecosystems and innocent people's lives in order to save the dinos. Every single one of the "heroes" should be charged with murder, genocide and crimes against the balance of nature.

The characters lack substance. Owen is the only character that attempts to try something, while the rest just sit and watch. Claire behaves like a high schooler and does absolutely nothing of impact. The black guy is in the comedy relief role, except that he's not funny at all and is a burden to the rest of the crew as they continually save him from danger. The woman with the glasses is just as cringy and irrelevant as the black guy.

Regarding the villains, I'm sick and tired of them always meeting the same demise. Apparently there's no trial, no punishment other than being eaten alive for whatever sin they committed. There's also a group of wealthy people who participate in the auction of the dinos and are portrayed as evil, but why? These people would provide shelter and protection to whatever dino they bought, why is it so bad that they pay for them? It's apparently a better idea to set them loose so that they destabilize the ecosystems, not to mention the thousands of people that will die as a result of that decision. The main characters care a lot more about the dinos than they do about human beings and the animal species that WILL be replaced by the dinos.

The director makes use of ridiculous events every time because he can't think of better ways to push the plot in a rational way. This can't be a Sci-Fi movie, it's borderline fantasy. I can't mention all of them, anyone watching the movie will be able to tell the lunacy going on. By the end of the movie, their conclusion is that humans will have to learn to coexist with the dinos...Excuse me? Those abominations will devour everything in their way, both herbivorous and carnivorous ones, they can't be allowed to roam free. Just put them back in cages or kill them. This movie is so dumb I can't really say what I'm thinking or this might not get approved.

All in all, Fallen Kingdom cannot be taken seriously and shouldn't be. It is a cashgrab movie that should be left untouched and unseen.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is the dumbest film I have seen in a while. I'm not saying that it is a horrible film, I wouldn't even say that I hated it, but I feel as though that is only because I was laughing at how unbelievably stupid it is. For the first 50 minutes, (from the opening to the part when they jump that truck onto the boat) the movie was fairly OK. However, once they get onto the boat the movie crashes harder than the Titanic. For some reason, the filmmakers thought it would be a good idea to set the second half of their Jurassic Park movie in a big old rich man's mansion. Even though I enjoyed the first 50 minutes, they were far from perfect. They split Owen and Claire up in this movie just to have them come back together again. Ian Malcolm was completely wasted and contained no importance to the plot and was merely there for fan service. Two of the new characters are Zia, a doctor for dinosaurs who has actually never been in person with a dino, and Franklin, and annoying tech guy stereotype who screams annoyingly and is scarred of everything. The villains are complete and total cartoon characters. Toby Jones plays a Donald Trump lookalike who is nothing but a stereotypical jerk businessman who is a jerk who just wants to sell dinosaurs for money. Rafe Spall plays an idiot who is in charge of getting the dinosaurs off the island and to James Cromwell's mansion where he can sell them. And Buffalo Bill is just the worst. James Cromwell is good but he's wasted in the film as discount Hammond, Chris Pratt is Chris Pratt and as usual he is likable, and Brice Dallas Howard is actually much better this time. Even the kid who plays Maisie is pretty good, even though the big reveal of her being a clone is the stupidest thing ever. Actually second stupidest. The stupidest thing ever is the scene where Buffalo Bill can't stop his obsession of collecting teeth. In the chaos of everyone at the dinosaur auction being attacked, Buffalo Bill decided it’s a great time to go in the mansion and ask for his money while countless people are running from the building in terror. He sees the Indoraptor (the custom genetically altered dino in the movie) in a cage and decides he wants one of its teeth for his collection. So he shoots it with 2 tranquilizers and it falls over. He opens up the cage and walks in leaving the door of the cage open. It turns out the Indoraptor was pretending to be tranquilized, so it smiles and winks at the audience. Buffalo Bill then gets eaten and the dinosaur is now loose. And that's how the final Battle starts. Great name by the way, Indoraptor, such a different and more inventive name than the Indominous Rex, the genetically altered dino bad guy from the last movie. Though this movie had great visual effects, some solid performances, and an enjoyable 1st act; the film is a failure on every other front, though it is an entertaining failure. Oh how the Kingdom of the once great Jurassic Park series has fallen. To quote Dr. Ian Malcolm in the first Jurassic Park: "I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it.

The effects were great (actually some improvement here), the dino action was on par, the acting was good, but the plot was just all over the place. Details that the entire storyline hinged on were overlooked.
It's still a fun film in the same way that a transformers movie might be, but otherwise pretty bad.… Expand

Full disclosure, I slept on and off throughout the middle portion of it, perhaps for 10 or 20 minutes total, so it might actually be worse than I'm aware of. Every single character managed to do or say something breathtakingly stupid and the entire plot repeatedly depends on these acts of inexplicable idiocy, making it perhaps the finest example possible of an "idiot plot". I found myself repeatedly thinking, "why the heck would they ever do that?" or "why on earth would that ever happen?" or "why would anyone ever possibly think that?", and the answer was always supplied shortly thereafter by the story going in some stupid direction that it couldn't have gone in without the initial stupid thing happening. It's a shame I didn't get more sleep, but the loud noises kept waking me up.… Expand

After the abomination of Jurassic Park III, I thought Universal had learned their lesson not to make a cash grab Jurassic movie with crappy characters and a thin, weak plot. I guess I was wrong.

This movie is very predictable and shallow. If Netflix and any other form of entertainment is unavailable, then see the movie. Otherwise, wait until it hits Primetime TV.

With that being said, I'd totally watch the film I just described above, if it wasn't intently marketed to children, and by doing so, removed itself from being able to do anything interesting, controversial or original with that concept. Jurassic Park unfortunately falls short of being anything besides a formulated cash grab, because its an ip that audiences are still unfortunately interested in. It really could be turned into something amazing, like the Mission Impossible franchise, or at least more fun like the Fast and Furious franchise, where they clearly have a self awareness of how ridiculous their premises are. And in doing so, have become far more enjoyable to watch. But no, we're forced to take a 6th installment of the same dinosaur franchise very very very seriously, and suspend any disbelief of modern society immediately terminating any and all discussion of yet another genetically modified super dinosaur. Which, in some ways is a metaphor for the film itself.… Expand

How do they manage to drive a whole franchise to the ground. The reason why Jurassic Park was good was because of it's script. This movie is just a bunch of CGI with tiny strings barely connecting them.

First of all, it was much too long. 128 minutes too long. Two kids in back of me talked constantly throughout the entire movie, and no one ever bothered to shush them. Not even once. I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but maybe it was more interesting than the movie. The plot was lame, the “acting” was awful, there were so many dinosaurs that none of them had any personality. Even the villains were boring. My advice, as a fan, is don’t bother. Wait until it’s on TV for free. Then you can sit at home and drink cheap booze while spitting popcorn at the screen. That's probably the only "fun" way to enjoy this movie. No kidding.… Expand

It is one the worst movies I've seen in a long while. It's so bad that it made me sign up for Metacritic to post a review and rate the movie. The plot is ludicrous, the villains are caricatures, half the directing is ham-fisted, and the score is as manipulative on your emotions and nostalgia as it can be. It completely and totally squanders everything that makes Jurassic Park interesting, compelling and clever, and dumbs it down into a Saturday morning cartoon. That's not to say the last 4 haven't done that in various ways, but this is just too much. The reliance on and freedom of CGI these days is truly ruining movies. It starts off fun and even kind of funny, and then it just nosedives until it can't dive anymore. I give it credit for two things, and that is the animatronics used for the more still dinosaurs (Blue the raptor and T-rex) and for not over-saturating the hell out of the color, like the previous movie did. It was still very cheesily bloomy, but at least it didn't look like a TV in Best Buy. Even if you're just trying to watch this for fun, like I was, knowing that Jurassic World was a travesty in comparison to the original, it's just honestly insulting and dumbfounding at how bad it is at a certain point. With such money being spent, you would think the heads of studios, directors or writers would be the best of the best, but it just goes to show they really have no idea what they're doing, even at the top of the game.… Expand

The trailers got me excited, but they also spoiled the majority of the film. The finished result is a mess of a film with a few funny, cool, & bad*ss moments and a few good performances, but it still doesn't help the rest of it's 2 hour and 10 minute run-time.

They went for that ridiculous "military dinosaur application" plot again, Dr. Wu made a dinosaur resembling a guided missile with a laser pointer. Not only that, there is an auction of captured dinosaurs in the black market. Also, far more stupid, the SJW plot of saving the dinosaurs from their doom because some fools pretending to be caring people love dinos as if they were cats, dogs and cows. In other words, logic got thrown out of the window and lunacy reigns supreme. In the end, captured dinos are set free and escape in US land just because some kid thinks dinosaurs are little fluffy loving creatures which deserve to live, without thinking that people will die (or rather, let's set up a sequel by freeing the dinosaurs and letting them roam free). Ironically there is a Jeff Goldblum cameo where Ian Malcolm first warns against saving the dinos and then delivers another "don't tamper with Nature" speech, but nobody listens.

The Jurassic World sequel trilogy (a 3rd movie is expected to release in 2021 or so) is an abomination compared to the original Jurassic Park films, and Fallen Kingdom is no exception. Were it not for the plot twist of having the girl being a clone, and for the haunting Brachiosaurus death-by-lava scene, I'd have scored this movie even lower.… Expand

Most of the movie takes place in a Mansion and the Dino's are locked up in cages. Also, when a blockbuster movie gets released outside of the US first, never a good sign.

Did this idotic writer think the average audience member's general IQ was in the sub-60 range? Bad news, the average is 100. This line was quick followed by DNA research as being claimed as programming a dino to obey human command. The people beind this were clearly in the 10-point range (animal intelligence), as this would mean that ANY species could be modified to be commanded, even people. This was a cash grab on the title, nothing more. The rest of the movie is equally vapid, and not worth talking about. The only highlight was the ass-shots, and covered breast shots that were painfully obvious. This should have been a made for TV movie, not cinematic. The second most incompentent line is about 10 minutes later (half-way through this thing), when it is claimed that the familial mother will activate the genetic code of the offspring. Not due to even more DNA magic, but because that is how the world works. Hell, even the CG/Amimation is terrible at times. For a movie where hald the cast is CG, that is quite pathetic. Finally, there is a scene that I will not spoil except to say the pricing is so juvenile that it proves this was written for chidren, under the age of 10. This should have been tossed into the vault and never seen the light of day. Just like the writer & director. Razzies, do you worst.… Expand
