Product placement everywhere, terrible dialogue, plot, acting, characters, CGI (the dinos in Jurassic Park look better). The guy a few seats down from me in the cinema was fast asleep. The amount of people saying that this is good goes to show how much expectation has dropped in the last 20 years. We used to get summer blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Braveheart, Gladiator, heck even Jaws that started the summer blockbuster. Now we get this, lots of Transformers, lots of Pirates and Marvel movie after Marvel movie. The standard today is a disaster.… Expand

Nothing can match the heights of the original, but Jurassic World cleverly realises that and diverts all of its attention into being a non-stop, exciting and most importantly FUN thrill ride.

Without spoiling it, the movie has the right amount of everything. Pratt was fantastic. The kids weren't annoying.

Start of movie: two brothers who dont get along (young, kids, main characters), two sisters who dont get a long, one doesnt spend any time with family (the main character one), a marriage about to fall apart. Oh and two people (chris prat and main woman, who is also that sister who doesnt spend time with family) who went on one date and didnt like each other.

End of movie: Brothers are closer than ever, sisters are closer than ever, marriage crisis averted, and of course they fell in love somehow even though they pretty much hated each other the whole movie.

Nothing in the events of the movie actually moved any of these relationships along. they just got written to change with no explanation or reasonable on screen motive.

And just lots of really stupid "bad horror movie" stuff by people for no reasons. Its just hard to watch. I guess the dinosaur was cool.… Expand

I enjoyed the first part of the movie a lot, the kids were cute and their perspective was great at translating that same sense of wonderment the original Jurassic Park had.

I enjoyed much less how the movie become a dumb monster movie along with a case of "too many cooks" with too many plot lines and too many characters competing for attention in the second half. They also could have done a much better job with Chris Pratt's and Bryce Dallas Howard's characters who are basically dumb caricatures, and I hated that cliched military bad guy.

Last complaint : too much CG, everything looked fake, especially the Dinos, everything on screen was too clean, too bright, too crisp. The last action scenes was particularly ludicrous, defying all sense of realism.… Expand

I have no beef with cgi and the critters, small and large, look impressive for this day and age. Give me some more.

The MacGuffin is a mini Godzilla, a human created predator broken loose and on the prowl. Godzilla is a very smart cookie and possessed with the mentality of a rabid dingo on a blood drive, always an ideal combination for a predator the size of a small hill. It wants braaaiins..eh blood.. lots and lots and mostly human at that.

Godzilla is also blessed with various other advantages, such as being bullet proof and being provided with a 10000 mega whack density field, which makes living things increasingly more dense the closer they get to the big meat eater. Humans tend to behave in remarkably stupid ways when near the monster. Like there is this guy handling a gatling machinegun who fails to make proper use of it even though it should not be too hard to hit a thirty feet tall creature with it.. Also whenever anyone has a gun that he or she might shoot the big creature with, he or she forgets to use it or just misses the giant monstrosity.. and even whey they finally manage to hit it by firing lots and lots of bullets, they just bounce off the armored hide..

During the movie Godzilla realizes how pathetic the screaming hairless monkeys really are and tasks itself to end their suffering by biting their heads off. Make the pain go away! It must have thought, after it consulted the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) IV. It also manages to convince a bunch of raptors to assist it in its noble goal. And they even get assistance of a flock of flying dinosaurs who dutifully lift some of the hairless monkeys and toss them into a big basin where a huge whale like dinosaur has just finished eating a large white shark and appreciates the humans for afters.

Meanwhile there is a red haired profit oriented control freak, who is the female lead, who convinces the free spirited motor bike enthusiast dinosaur whisperer male lead to forgo a potential shag in his rickety-rackety outhouse so as to help her save some kids from being eaten by the nasty big thunder lizard. We can then witness the embarrassing trite acting of these two as the stuck up biatch mellows into pools filled with tear eyed admiration when the biker drives into the jungle accompanied by his raptor buddies to stop that big brute.

When the raptors betray his trust he has to high tail it out of there, but somewhat later the lizard whisperer convinces the raptors to become suicidal and attack Godzilla again. Which works as expected: killing the little buggers, until biatch incites a T-rex to stop Godzilla from eating the last one. Everyone tries to follow this big fight on their handhelds and mobiles, only to discover that at random moments they fail. What a bummer, they must have thought, but they can always buy the movie and watch this all over again.(And they are welcome to it).

Things get eaten and things get smashed to tiny bits as part of product placements. If you didn't already know it.: that car the biatch drives is a Mercedes and gets flattened in scene 3! And the shop that raptor Delta wrecks in scene 76 is Starbucks. And the undies lizard boy is stripping out of during the intimate scene with the red head, has a male name on the front, but that one is edited out because this movie is PG-13. The male lead does shag the female lead, but that is reserved for the producer's cut or the redux version that will hit Amazon in 2017. And the computer network that hampers communications is called SkyNet..oh wait.. that is from another movie.

The story thus far:
-something makes sense.. but let us call you when we find the right version of the script.
- there are some actors in there doing something, but they might have walked in from another movie and we call you when we figured this one out..
- we lost the very big lizard because it camouflaged itself, doesn't show up on our infrared sensors and it removed the transmitter from it's body so we can't pinpoint its exact position, but we inform you once we located it.
- that our phones don't work really, so we just drop by to talk to you about having a shag in the deprecated bungalow at a beach in Costa Rica..

And you don't think that is silly?… Expand

I have read many and many User Reviews about Jurassic World, that say, that if you are a Jurassic World Fan, you should see this movie.

I actually agree about this one, but only because then you can see with your own eyes how bad this movie actually is.
It may look pretty and in 3D it is even better. but looks ain't everything. If you wanna see a real Jurassic Park movie again, then you have to wait. It may be better than the last movie, but it only is a step into the right direction. And I don't wanna say, that it is a bad movie. It's just a bad Jurassic Park Sequel (yet again).
The movie has it's moments but the whole time, I was sitting in the cinema, seeing this movie, I thought: "Something does'nt feel right". And soon I got it: It was the atmosphere. All in all the movie is full packed with action and less calm, darker scenes, which were used in the first Jurassic Park to build tension. It was used to give the consumer of the movie the right amount of fear, which let the Dinosaurs look more threatening. They completely (except for one scene) removed this kind of tension and put in lots and lots of boring senseless dialogues and shooting-scenes. But as I said before: The movie has it's moments and you could say it is kinda worth it, to see the movie because they have lots and lots of "eastereggs" in it, which lets you fall into nostalgia and lets you see some scenes from the first Jurassic Park but years later, which I actually found pretty cool.
The soundtrack is awesome, too. They've reused melodies from the first Jurassic Park. But I think, that's okay, because the Soundtrack was, and still is awesome.
I am not going to write a quick story review in here, because I wanted to make this review spoilerfree. But I can tell you this: I have found some "mistakes" in the logic of the people who wrote the script for this movie. One of it is known in the internet pretty well: "The whole High-Heels Story."
And the other one is, that we all know raptors don't hunt or fight alone. They normally stay in a pack. Which they even thought about in the first Jurassic Parks. I don't think, that this alone makes the movie worse than it is. But all in all, this is more of a mediocre movie.
That is, why I only give it 4/10 (if they would've changed the title, so it doesn't mess up the Jurassic Park Series more, I would've given 5/10)… Expand

It's hard to judge it fairly, but it is fair to say that the premise of Jurassic World is highly similar to previous releases, and that being dinosaur chaos and human survival. Still better than JP3, though.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The dialogue was horrendous. but what can one expect to come out of the mouth of such highly contrived characters? The humans in this movie were only the fleshy vehicles we were forced ride in order to get to the CGI money shot at the end. Using mass amounts of crowded people as pterodactyl niblits was a nice touch.

If it's loud. mildly frightening dinosaurs in 3D you want while you suck down a family size pop corn and 64 oz cola to yourself, I highly recommend going to see this in the theater, if only for the last 15 minutes.

If you enjoy character development, story, and a symbolic musical score, or any kind of metaphorical subtext, please continue to wait for Stephen Spielberg to come back to the franchise (which he won't).… Expand

Background: I have watched the three previous Jurassic Park films, the first in the cinema, but I do not remember where I saw the other two. The first was great, the second, average and the third, good. This review is based on a TV viewing.Background: I have watched the three previous Jurassic Park films, the first in the cinema, but I do not remember where I saw the other two. The first was great, the second, average and the third, good. This review is based on a TV viewing.

Pros: None. (If you think I could at least have given a point for the dinosaurs, no. Go watch Jurassic Park. There's nothing new here!)

Cons:
(1) The whole film takes implausibility to the extreme, including the:
(a) Implausible dinosaur behaviour of a dino-cidal Indominous Rex and train-able raptors. Hah!;
(b) Implausible human behaviour of the dislikable female lead, the bumbling CEO, the lecherous brother and the cliched war-profiteer; and
(c) Implausibility of how a theme park like that could have been given the approval to operate, considering all the safety issues. You have a Mosasaurus in a giant pool/lake where people can fall into, fields with giant dinosaur where visitors are allowed to drive themselves around, etc.

(2) The film has this comical scene where our characters had to move left and right to avoid being killed by dinosaurs as the latter go about attacking other dinosaurs and the humans. This is in the tradition of the three previous films. It was already stale by the second film and it it had definitely gone bad by now!

(3) If you hadn't gotten the drift by now, the writing is poor and lazy. The directing is not any better. What a missed opportunity to reboot the franchise.

(4) Have I mentioned, how I hate House Prices Dallas in this film?

Who would think the film is great? Children.
Who would think the film is only so-so? Young adults.
Who would think the film is lousy? Old adults.

Rating: 2/5 (no half scores). Do not bother to even watch it on TV. It felt tedious to watch it on TV.… Expand

You actually got to see gore, and death in the previous series so it was always a heart racer. But they made up excuses to cover it all up in Jurassic World. They took control of what was meant to be chaos. Raptors were always a huge fear factor in Jurassic movies, now they sort of just tell them to sit, stay, roll over. The scene of the pig escaping and the new guy falling into the raptor cage was a potential thrill, then the tamer came in and again, told the raptors to sit. Two or three people 'may' have died. The rest could walk it off. Had it been the first Jurassic movie in the series I've seen, then yeah it would have been amazing. But it wasn't so it isn't.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This Review is written in GERMAN Language!

Ich war ein grosser Fan der alten Jurassic-Park-Filme, weil es etwas neues, innovatives war vor allem mit den Computergenerierten Dinos.

Allerdings ist Jurassic-World nur ein flacher Abklatsch mit fadenscheinigen Begründungen um die Story überhaupt erklären zu können.

Der Film hat dermaßen viele Plot-Fehler und schlechte Erklärungen, dass man aus dem Augenrollen schon gar nicht mehr rauskommt... leider.

Ich zähle einfach mal die Dinge auf, die mir am ehesten auf den Magen gestossen sind und mich fast dazu gebracht haben das schauen des Films vorzeitig abzubrechen und nach Hause zu gehen.

1. Die Begründung aus den Raptoren lebende Waffen zu machen die man im Feindgebiet aussetzt ist so dermaßen schlecht, dass am ehesten die Waffenverrückten Amerikaner am ehesten verstehen, warum die Bemerkungen in dieser Hinsicht absolut schwachsinnig sind. Natürlich gibt es Drohnen die Höhlen erforschen können, es gibt sogar Bomben die extra dafür gedacht sind Höhlensysteme zu zerstören. Ausserdem wurde bisher noch NIE eine Drohne gehackt, zumindest nicht nach dem was wir wissen und vor allem, wie Drohnen funktionieren. Also keine Ahnung wie die Filmemacher auf diesen Unsinn kamen. JEDE Armee der Welt würde Drohnen und automatische Systeme die SIE kontrollieren einer biologischen Bedrohung vorziehen, da diese auf Dauer einfach nicht kontrollierbar ist, weil es wilde Tiere sind.

2. Als die Protagonisten feststellen, dass der neu gezüchtete Saurier "fehlt" , warten die Wildhüter nichtmal die 5 Minuten ab bis die Chefin im Kontrollzentrum prüfen konnte wo sich der Saurier tatsächlich befindet, mittels des Ortungs-chips. Nein, wir rennen in das Gehege in der Hoffnung, dass die Instrumente zur Anwesenheitsprüfung auch tatsächlich keine Fehlfunktion haben. Nur um ein bischen Spannung zu erzeugen und letztendlich eine Situation herbeizuführen in der der Saurier dann auch tatsächlich flüchten kann. Hätten sie "WIE JEDER NORMALE MENSCH" die paar Minuten gewartet dann wär der Film an dieser Stelle vorbei gewesen, aber das geht ja nicht...

3. Als die Schwester der Park-Chefin feststellt, dass sie ihre Jungs nicht beim Rundgang begleitet, fängt sie nach 2 Sekunden das flennen an... ich weiss dass es solche Frauen gibt, aber dieses Klischee hätte man wirklich sein lassen können und sie einfach etwas harscher reden lassen anstatt sie als emotionales Wrack darzustellen.

4. Dinosaurier sind immernoch gefährlich... trotzdem ist der Park so konzipiert, dass die Besucher mit ihrem seltsamen Glaskugelgefährt selbstständig den Weg bestimmen können. In keinem Park der Welt würde so etwas erlaubt werden, da Menschen, wie Dinosaurier, unberechenbar sind. Was ist wenn sich 2 Kumpels einen Spass erlauben und testen wie sich ein Dino verhält wenn man ihn mit dieser Kugel rammt, oder veranstalten ein rennen über den gesamten freien Park. So ein Quatsch.

5. Im Park gibt es durchschnittlich 15.000 Besucher. Allerdings gibt es nur 15-20 mit nicht tödlichen Waffen bestückte Aufseher um diese zu schützen... Mal davon abgesehen dass die Besucher auch unter kontrolle gehalten werden müssen durch Security und andere Aufsichtskräfte... zb. um Diebstähle und Gewalttätigkeiten zu verhindern, sind 20 Wildhüter für eine so riesige Fläche einfach absoluter schwachsinn. Unser Wildpark, mit Hirschen und Wildschweinen, hat mehr Aufseher mit RICHTIGEN WAFFEN, als dieser mit gefährlichen Tieren versehene Park... aus dem Augenrollen kommt man praktisch nicht mehr raus.

6. Die Park-Chefin (mit ihrer hässlichen Helmfrisur) lässt nur einen kleinen Teil des Parks durch absolut unfähiges Personal (zb. der Azubi ohne Plan von nix) räumen obwohl gerade ihr komplettes Wildhüterteam in kleine Teile zerrissen wurde.... und sie eigentlich weiss, dass NIEMAND mehr da ist um die Menschen vor der Bedrohung zu schützen. Wie wurde die denn Chefin von IRGENDWAS? Ja... hochgebummst, das kann man vielleicht anführen an dieser Stelle.

Ich könnte noch weitere Dinge aufzählen, aber dieser Film enttäuscht alle 5 Minuten von neuem. Sehr schade, ich wollte ihn mögen.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jurassic World presents a tug-of-war where expectations are hoping to be met but are continuously resisted by poor writing and acting in what otherwise should have been a decent experience. There is enough awe to help mask a few of the underlying weaknesses that are difficult to ignore, but this success is short-lived. Before the motorcycle scene there were glimmers of optimism that this might be the decent sequel. But it gets much worse in an attempt to tie up a pretty loose plot. Ultimately, there isn't much to believe about this movie, even at the character level. About halfway through it's fairly obvious where the plot is going and this only makes things worse. Admittedly, it's hard to hate Jurassic World but it's even harder to take it seriously.… Expand

You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could,Why did they make this film? Perhaps Ian Malcom said it best: " You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now..."

And now.

Let me take you on a tour. The first thing you'll notice in JW are cliche stock characters: the woman so obsessed with her job she just needs a good strong man to make an honest woman out of her, the good strong man, the eeeevil, spoooky scientists, the money grubbing CEO......

Then you'll notice products. Products products products. Coke, Mercedes Benz, Samsung; at one point a child points out that a vine covered vehicle is a "1992 Jeep Wrangler..." because if you can't SHOW the product, you sure can have a child who inexplicably knows a lot about vehicles SAY the product.

Then, if you know anything about dinosaurs, you'll notice lots of mistakes. Like the mosasaurus being about 10 times bigger than it was in real life (the original JP took some liberties to make the dinos darker in shade than they probably were, but this movie is off the rails.)

Then you'll notice lots of logical inconsistencies. Like, after the Indominus Rex escapes, Bryce Dallas Howard's character is concerned that if they alert the crowd a dino is on the loose, the park will get closed. Are we supposed to believe that the resulting lawsuits from five peoples' deaths wouldn't shut the park down, anyway? Are we also supposed to believe that an ancient predator with a reptilian brain will just listen to Chris Pratt, because, reasons? Are we also supposed to believe that a military dude wants to steal raptors to use them in combat, even though they'd be unarmed and most wars are fought by drones, now, anyway?

Look, I didn't go into this movie with a bad outlook. I went into it hoping they might recapture some of the old magic. But this movie is all about loose plots with no emotional weight, big logical leaps, overdone product placement to the point you feel like you're watching a commercial, and to be completely honest, action scenes that are all special-effect with no exciting tension.… Expand

The cast do a passable job, there was some awkward moments between Owen and Claire that where cringe worthy and most of the comedy in my opinion just wasn't funny at all. Vincent D'Onofrio for what little screen time he had was the only stand out performance in the movie and did a great job of what he had to work with.

Lingering question left from the movie, how does a US Navy seaman end up training Velociraptor in the first place???… Expand

Alright, first few good things:

A bunch of decent action scenes.

That's it.

The movie is basically a collection of plot holes mixed with bad writing and desperate attempts to appeal to broad audiences.
It's not even about the dinosaurs. We just have one super-pimped dino that kills everyone and then a final fight where it gets killed. It feels like watching Godzilla, but less enjoyable.

It's just incredibly stupid. Chris Pratt, you better start appearing in some better movies. This is the second one, after Guardians of the Galaxy, that feels like only complete idiots could enjoy them.

Don't waste your time and money on that one.… Expand

TL;DR: If you like youtube videos of dinosaurs punching other dinosaurs in the face, this film may entertain you - if you can switch of your logical thinking so you don't go: "Wait, why ...?" or "Wait, what ?"
If you prefer a good story arc,TL;DR: If you like youtube videos of dinosaurs punching other dinosaurs in the face, this film may entertain you - if you can switch of your logical thinking so you don't go: "Wait, why ...?" or "Wait, what ?"
If you prefer a good story arc, good characters or or at least decently portrayed dinosaurs, you may spend your money better somewhere else.

After seeing it at XKCD, my expectations weren't high, but my friends wanted to go. Sadly, the film is quite good at expectation limbo.

Strong points:
- some good CGI, though often Jurassic Parc looked better and sometimes the movement didn't look like actual animals but more like gummisaurus
- If you like to watch videos of people in theme parcs, then this is for you; in the first 60 minutes, you have this a lot
- 1 characters I liked (Omar Sy alias Barry - why didn't he have more screen time than 5 minutes?)
- I liked the idea of the raptor-whisperer, though it became ridiculous in the last 45 minutes - action feeding on plot, destroying the sense of all former exposition

Weak points:
- The musical score - just copy from the first one! Instead 2 min of the original, most of the time mediocre, and sometimes so bad you notice ("And in the blue corner, Mr. T.S. Reeeeex *fanfare*)
- The plot is like swiss cheese (admittingly, the original one had some problems too, but often it was at least try to provide a reason and the pathing was so well crafted that one didn't wondered about the actions all the time)
- Dinosaurs are, literally, terrifying - they don't need to be concrete-breaking, camouflaging, suicidal gremlin-monsters. And though I can accept that a potentially social animal can learn how to use a door handle, but you get a headache when a giant turkey outsmarts 1 manager, 1 animal trainer and 15 security NPCs (ok, the latter nicely grouped together and used essentially pointy sticks = close combat weapons against a 10m dinosaur, I guess they weren't the problem)
- too many unnecessary (=emotionless) deaths of NPCs and small characters
- Spoiler: There is not 1, but 4 pathetic endings: one involving Mr Pratt having pink lip gloss, another one dino-dino-human-giant-water-saurier team work, with concluding imaginary hat tipping and fist bumping (it was only not in the movie because T-Rex forelimbs were too short).

If you want to read other reasons why I consider this one of the worst films I've seen in a while, you may read shadowsfall444, Alan2306, jblac02, ...

What could have done to make it a decent film even without better dialogue or characters:
- cut out unnecessary characters (parents, assistant, pig-guy, control room girl...)
- cut out unnecessary deaths
- cut out unnecessary side plots
- copy+paste original score
- portray dinosaurs with state-of-the-art science (you may make them smarter than a chicken, but give them feathers and don't let a nude eagle lift a cow!)
- 1 or max 2 endings should be enough (see the original)

I personally prefer JP3, and if it is only for Sam Neill acting. Would have given it maybe a 3, but some reviews just smelled like payed reviews to me, and I think the 59 critics rating is more to the truth.… Expand

The only reason this movie was half way decent was because the dinosaur action sequences were mildly entertaining and the overall message of the film was actually something interesting enough to think about. Everything else about this movie was terrible. The script was god-awful and full of flaws. The characters had no depth whatsoever and were completely static. There were so many unnecessary subplots that didn't add anything valuable to the story (e.g. the divorce of the parents, and the Pratt's character's romance with the Claire girl). Also, what was the purpose of the older brother constantly ogling at girls throughout the film? I know he's a teen and teens tend to do that but it didn't add ANYTHING to the film and is even more ridiculous considering the film shows at the beginning that he has a girlfriend.

At least the acting was half way decent. The last 10 minutes was the only thing entertaining. "Jurassic Park" is 10x the movie that this will ever be.… Expand

Mediocre monster movie set in a world where military veterans can't hit a 50 ft long target with a minigun and rocket blasts to said 50 ft target don't instantly turn it into crimson jelly.

While the (extensively used) CG is probablyMediocre monster movie set in a world where military veterans can't hit a 50 ft long target with a minigun and rocket blasts to said 50 ft target don't instantly turn it into crimson jelly.

While the (extensively used) CG is probably technically impressive and the film looks nice, there is no excuse for how stupid and creepy some of this film is.

Let's start with the creepy - the pterodactyl torture porn scene where the office assistant lady is picked up off the ground, dropped, caught in mid air, and then dunked in the water some 4-5 times before being eaten by a giant aquatic dinosaur. Disgusting. There was no need for a drawn out death scene for a character who honestly didn't do anything wrong in the movie, this wasn't comeuppance for some evil act, this was just straight up torture fetish filth. Even the big bad guy died in a covered up and nearly off-scene raptor attack. No excuse for this.

Okay let's get to the stupid, somehow supersaurus mega rex is able to cloak itself visually and from THERMAL cameras (how would it even know those existed come the hell on) and set a trap that fools a dinosaur trainer, it then gets stuck in the door of it's enclosure but rather than being choked out by the door closing mechanism, it manages to smash right through the reinforced concrete and metal gate that had been keeping it inside for how long with little to no effort?

invinciblesaurus then plods through the park murdering dinosaurs not to eat but to kill kill kill, apparently someone spliced in some of the zodiac killer's genes or something because as far as I know none of the animals they claimed it had genes of were particularly serial-murdery.

Somehow ultramegasaurus KNOWS WHAT A TRACKING DEVICE IS and RIPS IT OUT OF IT'S OWN FLESH.

Trained dino-emergency trackers/hunters and their nine zillion tranquilizer rounds have no effect on big nasty megasaur, it shrugs it off and murders everyone in short order, even the guy blasting it in the face with a shotgun which somehow didn't even give it pause. I really don't care how many cuttlefish or frogs you splice something with it will STILL go down to the power of pharmaceuticals.

When freed from sealed aviary, pterodactyls/pterosaurs or whatever somehow FLEW, not glided from a cliff like you know, they did in real life. They decided instead of scattering like idiot birds would normally do they would immediately head for the humans, how they instantly knew where they were (miles away) was uh, birdosaur magic radar I guess.

Birdosaurs somehow flying AND lifting full grown adult humans into the air.

Oh yeah, Birdosaurs seeking out and attacking a noisy helicopter firing a minigun full on, you cannot tell me those animals would not have fled from something making such scary noises.

An island FULL of angry deadly dinosaurs and only one minigun and chopper, not even a combat chopper but a civilian chopper with a minigun mounted in the door. Clearly we can't afford those with all these dinosaur holograms and genetic disasters we made.

The aforementioned torture porn scene with the office lady also qualifies for stupid.

The entire ~trained raptors~ arc, and the evilbadman's stupid plan to use them as weapons, the supermegakillosaur being able to SPEAK RAPTOR and COMMUNICATE WITH THEM and then ORDER THEM TO TURN ON THEIR TRAINER AND ATTACK THE HUMANS. How many super powers does killosaurus drecks have so far? I lost count.

The raptors put aside their betrayal and help their daddy human man to fight the big bad supersaurus, who beats all four into the dirt while being peppered with rifle rounds by their trainer.

The T-rex and Raptor TAG TEAM DUO vs mega killosaur. COME ON THE RAPTOR RODE ON THE T-REX'S BACK FFS. Then after the giant crocodile thing eats the super killosaurus for the final blow, the T-rex and raptor exchange nods of approval and bugger off into the night.

Keep in mind the original movie had a CASCADE OF FAILURES happen to even allow the dinosaurs to ESCAPE in the first place. The storm, Nedry's computer virus, ALL of the dinosaurs getting loose at the same time, the park wasn't even complete or open or fully staffed. In this movie the park has been successful for something like seven years, but this ONE dinosaur they somehow gave superpowers to through the magic of cuttlefish and frog genes totally ruins everything.

FINAL VERDICT: Avoid this movie unless you can turn your brain off / you live with your brain turned off.… Expand

I am sure you have read in the reviews some of the stupid nonsensical things that happen within this movie, so I will just list a few other things I noticed that I havn't seen other people critisize yet.

1. After the boys are safe again... the aunt is like "I will never let you into harms way again! you will be safe!" or something like that...then she proceeds to put them in the back of a truck and drive them directly into harms way! She personally takes them into the most dangerous situation currently on the island with the military men to go battle the A-rex! She could have taken them or had someone take them somewhere much safer on the island, instead she risks their lives by bringing them along to battle the A-rex with a bunch of raptors. The only reason for this is so that the boys are around when **** continues to hit the fan....just such poor writing.

2. When the flying dinosaurs escape...why the hell would every single one of them go directly to the populated part of the park and start attacking people?! I am sure they were well fed...in reality they would scatter in all directions and definately would not dedicate their new freedom to hunting and killing humans for no apparant reason.

3. The A-rex talks with the raptors and tells them to attack the humans? Are you kidding me?! In about 5 seconds time this A-rex is able to communicate and convince these raptors that he is the alpha male?! Supposedly this works because the A-rex is like 1-10% raptor.....this is ridiculous. This is like saying that I can speak to apes or chimpanzees. Can the A-rex also talk to cuddlefish, snakes, and the other animals it was mad of? This is so damn stupid...why doesnt the A-rex talk to the T-rex at the end? It is obviously more part Trex than it is raptor. Another stupid line in regards to this...PRatt says "now we know why they didnt tell us what this thing is made of....because its part RAPTOR!", yea its so secret not because its made of trex, snake, and tons of other dinosaurs....just because its part raptor.

4. Militarizing raptors? jesus christ. There is seriously a line like "Imagine if we had these things in Tora Bora!". I dont really need to go into depth on this one....you can already tell how stupid it is.

5. At the end the gigantic aquatic dinosaur jumps out of its enclosure and eat the A-rex! It lands on the ground where during normal hours guests would be walking! The designers of the park didnt realize this?! The one time this aquatic behemoth breaks out of it confined space it just happens to eat the Arex instead of a person?

These are just a few of the things that popped into my head. There are tons and tons of similarly retarded instances within this film. So many plot holes and nonsensical story moments....it is just so stupid! I mean I thought the part in Lost World where the T-rex was able to eat everyone on a cargo ship was bad....but this is actually worse and there are way more silly and dumb moments. I really had higher hopes for this movie, especially after seeing the initial reviews. It isnt horrible, there are some good parts. But all the plot holes, cliches, and just stupid moments really took me out of the experience...I spent more time laughing at the nonsense in this movie than the actual few jokes.… Expand

The dinosaurs look great and their integration with the actors and their surroundings is impressive. What lets this movie down is the story and the characters. The story is ludicrous, not that getting live dinosaurs out of fossils is believable. But the notion that these people never learn just keeps coming up. With all the amazing technology that exists in this movie world, the stupid mistakes and misjudgments that the decision makers in the story continually make are just mind numbing. It's actually pretty insulting. The writing is so bad that I couldn't help but inappropriately laugh a number of times. It is pretty clear this is an attempt at rebooting this franchise, which I'm sure will work, as people are just not that discriminating.

Okay while watching it, quite stupid when thinking about it and talking about the movies missteps with friends afterwards. It's basically Universal Studios doing a re-boot trilogy thingy with a nostalgic Millennials movie franchise. In 1993 I took my younger sister to see JP when she was 8 years old. So she is the target audience for this fourth "Dinos In Park Run Wild" effort. Even though 22 years later we both still know that the original is still the best, and that all of the sequels (including this one) are pretty meh.

It's got product placement up the yin-yang from every nook and cranny. I laughed several times at the "unintentional comedy" via bits of dialogue and paper thin performances that were very, VERY dumb. You can tell this movie was "Pre-vized & action set pieced" worked months before a page of script was written. You can also tell the age range of commenters with what they perceive as "deep or interesting" character wise simply from the limited knowledge within their posts. A whole generation raised on Bayformer eye candy crap with weak script writing...and it shows.

And while JWorld was an enjoyable B level monster movie and THAT's ALL, nothing more - just like Jeremy Jahns, Chris Stuckmann, and Rotten Tomatoes all rated it - it has several moments of Micheal Bay level stupidity in the script that folks are giving a pass on because of the JP brand and nostalgia of Spielberg's classic. But I call it like I see it. Jurassic World is just another pure cash grab action sequel, like the much hated Jurassic Park 3 was, and nothing was advanced for this same story told 4 times over now. Even the ending of JWorld was the SAME ending of the first film and the third film, except with MORE MORE MORE.

If you listen to Colin Trevorrow's interview with the Schmoes Know Movies crew, he even admits that the movie had to hit certain studio influenced beats while in production, and that's lame. You should be trying to make the best movie possible no matter what (and maybe Colin did try to do that as this movie reeks of many studio/producer cooks in the kitchen). So to me, the bar should have been set at making a movie as good as JP '93. Not "We're just gonna aim for barely better JP 3 and arguably on pas with The Lost World.

Not settling for the usual "Include kids because kids need to relate, include military and a divorce story because domestic audiences are familiar with these tropes, redo the final battle of JP '93 but add more beasties because more equal better" etc. One more thing. I did a re-watch of all three JP films and I gotta say that the visual FX in Jurassic World, in 2015, are really not that special compared to it's first two cousins. Also, folks rag on JP3, but at least Joe Johnston tried to make animatronic Dino-baddies for its 3rd act showdown with the Spinosaurus Rex & Raptors.

After thinking about the movie, a proper poster tagline for this flick should have read:

"Jurassic World: The Park Is Open, But Only Dumb People Are Invited...please buy Bose, Starbucks, Mercedes Benz etc etc etc products on your way out."… Expand

With a messy story that doesn't quite work (a last-minute re-write of some major plot points, was my first guess), an unimaginative screenplay and lazy directing, this movie is about as good as... well, it's about as good as Birdemic, but with nicer graphics. It's hilarious.

...It's not meant to be hilarious, but my word, I haven't enjoyed a movie this much since Plan 9 from Outer Space. The bulk of the movie is, obviously, visually impressive. It's lovely to look at... but then, so are most big budget movies lately, so that's hardly a passing mark on its own. The story and screenplay are a slapped together series of brain farts that make you wonder what the selection process for professional movie writers must be; a dartboard, perhaps? A lottery system? I don't really mean to be harsh, but let's be honest: the writing is TERRIBLE. It's the only movie I've ever explicitly watched the credits for in order to see who was responsible for the screenplay.

No single element of the writing is stand-out 'look at this' bad. Rather, it's as if it was written by a teenager with some raw talent, but no self-awareness or experience. Mistakes and blunders come one after the other, making an overall effect that any B movie lover can appreciate: it's a stupidly wonderful mish-mash of cliches, lazy directing and stupid, badly thought-out ideas that must've seemed great in the early brainstorming and storyboarding stages, but which the staff were woefully incapable of ever executing in any competent manner. Aborted character arcs abound, illogical setpieces and bizzare events make it impossible to take the story seriously or feel invested in any of the characters.

The most glaring story component is that last-minute re-write that I suspect (perhaps a re-write is common knowledge to people who followed the movie's production; I'm not one of them), which obviously left a lot of lose ends in the story: 'serious business' character development arcs are raised by multiple characters, obviously intended to be parts of a larger story, however due to what must've been a re-shuffle of characters, the arcs are broken and don't fit in to the final story whatsoever, and in fact make some characters appear unstable and illogical, as they are now having 'serious business' moments about a matter that's never actually addressed in the movie, or which no longer fits with the revised script. Seeing the children's mother have a breakdown because her sister wasn't spending time with the boys was amazing. Because -again- it made no sense. Clearly, the story was intended to be a broken family bonding over the dramatic events of the movie, but instead, we have... well. A mess with no real conclusion. The boys consternation over their parents looming divorce? Well, never mind that, Dinosaur attack! Park manager worrying about low attendance numbers and declining profits? Those tens of thousands of people crowding every square metre of the shiny and new-looking park don't matter, because dinosaurs! Whoo! Look, Guest appearance by Jimmy Fallon doing... slapstick? Uh... Dinosaurs, whoo! Millitary shenanigans and corruption, but let's not even try to finish that arc, instead let's have rolling balls of CGI magic! Whoo!

It's just a series of silly, pretty looking events that happened on an island with suicidal attack-dinosaurs, mustache-twirling military contractors, theme parks with no emergency procedures, annoying kids with no purpose in the story, and Chris Pratt trying to make the most of his boring, cliche macho-guy lines.

A solid B movie experience.… Expand

I like movies that are simple enough that you can just enjoy the action and just be entertained. This is not that movie. Even I couldn't forgive some of the irrational thinking and boring characters. Suicidal birds? Military raptors? Really????

Do people this silly, really think thatSomebody on something really stupid has made something else absolutely brainless. Where to begin? This film's absurdity doesn't even begin connecting every other synonym, describing the disaster seen. Do people this silly, really think that when making TV a franchise might cough up some numbers here? Entertainment often comes from a functioning story executing excitement throughout the ride invested, than we will go out and purchase, watching again. Not because somebody thinks hmm any braindead will buy into their brands.

What action and CGI? The action throughout this film was constantly repeated shown by that same Trex yawning. Seriously though the action shown, looked like some kind of 50's playdo. Otherwise those cave people in their thongs escaping from all of the other scary beasts. However those cave people often came from much better plots than this film's tripe.

Do us all a favour and think next time? If your making a Dolly the dinosaur clone just put a lethal kill switche inside of it's brain, popping when that beast even starts to show signs of escape. Not some kind of a tracker it can claw out? I mean dinosaurs just love scratching their heads, figuring all kind of ways to prison break and release all of the other most wanted inmates, the Pterodatyls. Wait the film gets way better when the cloned dinosaur was combined with every other venomous species of DNA, and it started communicating on Dr. Moreau's island to all of the domesticated military grade raptors, who were also trained as sniffer dogs for whatever drugs that these producers are using. Instead of it's DNA exploding from functioning like Platypus. Anyhow evil Dolly the Trex becomes leader of the pack, saying kill ze humans, hail your new cloned leader, quickly escape get some take away their are some real tasty humans. Although the raptors are all torn emotionally between their loyalty, seen in some kind of puppy love. RPG's have failed to kill any of the beasts. They decide to release a real Trex instead, for the Trex mating ritual of all the teeth and claws, even the little baby raptor decides to join in. Finally later Crocasharkosaur back flips out of the aquarium, impossibly, because it really should have been feasting on all the tourists previously., I mean evolve. I guess it had gotten super hungry becauce it was bigger with the fins that tried to evolve into feet, and any mosquitoes love the ocean salt, a home to all kind of amber. Finally the good animals have won, helping the humans escape their failed amusements.

Somewhere else glass balls stop thousand of tonnes of weight, because glass must be all kind of unbreakable. Rhinosaurs were only herbivores anyway, meaning they cannot see red. Anyhow our heroes walk on under, right on through earthquakes. A Richter scale with thousands of tonnes stomping and crashing would see people flying through air throughout that rampage. The human heroes like their dinosaurs counterparts were completely RPG proof.

Crichton knew that the park would never re-open to the public. Why did these producers think to franchise this stupidity? Stupidity seen in complete and utter devolution on everything else previous.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished watching Jurassic World...wow...what a steaming pile of **** that movie was.

If you are a fan of Jurassic Park and enjoyed that movie, like I do, do not even waste your time on Jurassic World.

The story was basically a rehash of the original, and the acting...I've seen better acting in old 70's porno's than what this crap-fest offered up.

As can be expected, the Special F/X were top-notch, but even that isn't enough to carry this poorly written & acted steaming pile of celluloid garbage.

Unless you have extremely low-expectations, or piss-poor taste, wait until this movie hits the $5.00 bargain bin at WalMart.… Expand

Sadly they weren't low enough. Every Hollywood trope was brought in in as the film progressed from one plug-n-play scene to the next: "insert moody teenager", "insert brotherly bonding moment" etc.

All but a few characters are actually likable, Chris Pratt's being one. The rest only frustrated me as being unoriginal cliches, about as relateable as a pack of soggy chips. I could only scream internally as each character flopped around on screen while Chris Pratt saved the day.

The only reason this didn't get a zero was for the 5 minute dino-on-dino climax of the film which was so ridiculous and over the top, it was almost worth sitting through the whole train wreck that was this film.

Maybe a re-cut of just Chris Pratt and his Raptor bros fighting dinosaurs will happen one day, and it will be a cinematic masterpiece. Until then, I would not recommend this film for anyone with a functioning brain… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Probably the worst movie of the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World cannot lay claim to the magic the original films brought about.An abject opening ten minutes immediately casts a dampener on what lies ahead with Bryce Dallas Howard as the disappointingly robotic Claire Dearing. Seeing Claire's sister unnecessarily burst in to tears for Claire not personally giving her nephews a tour of Isla Nublar which has ,by the way,became a fully functional Dinosaur zoo and theme park(man,isn't this exactly what each of the other three movies professed people NOT TO DO) seemed artificial and downright pathetic. The first movie scored big with the two kids that irritated and ultimately won over Dr.Grant,but the Director's mission to win over the audience with the same formula falls flat this time around. Chris Pratt as the raptor trainer(ya, believe it, Velociraptors have accepted him as their alpha - gosh!!!!) brings some solace to an otherwise mediocre and horribly miscast movie which feature a clueless theme park owner and a pot bellied head of security,to name a few. Even though the story about a genetically modified 'Indominus Rex' (cool fake name) terrorizing the visitors and the other dinosaurs had a great appeal, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The best chance for the movie to salvage something was in its climax where an inter dinosaur battle ensues between the mutated beast, the raptors and the park's resident super hero,the T-Rex. Even though die hard fans of the franchise might distinguish a T-Rex from other big carnivorous dinosaurs,most of the audience aren't paleontology experts and not mentioning that the beast attacking the villainous I-Rex(??) was indeed the Tyrannosaur seems a bit lazy on the director's part and adds to the lack of attention to detail displayed throughout the film. The Mosasaurus' spot at the end could have been the perfect finale to the film,if it had a competent director at the helm.
The visuals are probably the only positive thing about the film and the movie ends in a not so surprisingly confused state with nothing definitive about whether the park will continue to operate or get taken over by the dinosaurs,the latter being the conventional and not so bad outcome in all the previous movies. Perfect ending to a disappointing movie.

And by the way - The T-Rex, all of a sudden, develops a conscience and spares the good guys at the end - Come on!!!!!!!… Expand

On thing I noticed right away was the two boy actors had horrible acting. The older boy acted like he had down syndrome, his face was just flat the whole time; The kind of look you have after you just played video games for a couple hours.
But it didn't stop there everyone else's acting was pretty bad. The story in no way paid homage to any of the earlier Jurassic Parks. We still get John Williams rehashed music which did not go well with the flow of the movie. The movie seemed entirely seperate from any of the other Juassic Parks because it was not believeable, the dinosaurs werent real looking everything was cged to death.

This review may be written all over the place but thats how I feel about the movie. The main role for female actor was bad. Female actor was sexist because it portrayed woman as the scared running woman we all know from the past looking for her hero.

The whole velociraptor whisperer thing was retarded. You cannot tame those animals ever lol.

To keep it short it would have been an okay movie if it was titled something else like dinosaurs and monsters theme park. With the Jurassic Park headline I was wanting to see something great being a fan of the original 90's movie. There was nothing great about Jurassic World other than I got it for free on piratebay and I gladly deleted it and threw the movie in the trash bin.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was so pumped to see this movie, got to see it before anyone else by purchasing tickets near a theater i live by a month ago, got to see it 5 hours early!

anyways, this movie almost had me walking out in the first 30 minutes. The acting was terrible from the girl in the control room *run it's in there with you!!!* like wtf? I seen better acting out of B-Movies then this 150 million dollar budget movie.

1.the story made no sense... militarizing raptors? hey wouldn't making robots be better suited? i mean you guys can prolly understand the common sense I mean with that comparison....

2.The raptors evidently are trained blood hounds after chasing a pig....

3. I-rex makes the raptors turn on the humans.... then 5 minutes later they are like FU** you I-rex HE TOOK MY COLLAR OFF! give me a break....

4. I-rex knows and understands thermal imaging and knows exactly when to set up a perfect trap....

5. the first raptor to die by the rocket.... first off why was their a guy on a hill, a quarter of a mile away with a freaking rocket ready to shoot a raptor.....

6. the raptor that turns on the I-rex and wins the day, didn't he get his freaking spine broken?????? and that slow motion scene of him coming out of the corner... seriously...

7. i'm surprised the raptor and t-rex didn't fist bump after I-rex Died

The dinosaurs are no longer frighteningly fierce predators with killer instinct, but instead are now cute misunderstood animals with emotions. I can't say I like the CGI dinosaurs much, the animatronics look way better and more realistic. There's a few Jurassic Park references here and there. They don't have any purpose of being there except for very slight nostalgia but the characters don't even acknowledge it. It makes me wonder why they even bothered putting it in at all.

There is also alot of product placement, it's pretty noticeable such as drinking coke, getting into a car with the Mercedes logo shown nice and close, the kid naming the exact make and model of a jeep, logo on headphones, various background stores such as pandora etc.

The characters are fairly underdeveloped and generic. They force some brother sentiment a couple of times between Zach and Gray, and the relationship between Claire and Owen is predictable and pointless.

Overall, wasn't all that bad. The movie does keep you entertained despite lacking originality. I probably wouldn't watch it again and will probably forget about it's existence soon. Jurassic park is just a victim like so many classic movies which Hollywood is remaking and making tonnes of money off the name, despite the remake being ordinary and forgettable.… Expand

I went into this withI don't know how many of these shining reviews are paid shills or just morons but let me give you an honest review of this movie based on my own perspective as a picky viewer that won't waste time or money on garbage. I went into this with extremely low expectations and I won't claim its unwatchable or the worst thing ever but this movie is seriously in the running for the worst JP movie and that says alot, considering how badly the 2nd and 3rd movies were picked apart I fully expect this one to be torn apart piece by piece by more thorough reviewers in the months to come. I know many reviews have already said this but the acting, the plot and the character development are all awful. there is no other way to put it, all the characters are walking stereotypes and there is nothing in the way of a Grant/Malcolm to try to salvage this with their banter, it's just good guys/bad guys and a bunch of rehashing of previous ideas with even less to hold it all together. The best way I can describe this movie is that it's not a story but it's spectacle on par with a circus act. A huge chunk of the movie is just showing off the park with its cgi crap and then a SUPER dino gets loose and causes chaos, that's basically the entire movie. I found myself rolling my eyes several times at both the 'story' going on here and the literally cringeworthy product placement. I kid you not there's a scene where the 2 brothers have just witnessed a dino exhibit and one of them says "wanna see something really cool?" and the scene immediately cuts to a close up shot of a mercedes benz(this close up panning outward shot of the mercedes logo happens at least 2-3 more times throughout the movie) and this is not the only example going on here. What's incredibly ironic is that the movie actually takes a shot at product placement in the first 30 minutes, using one of the minor secondary characters to mock the idea of corporations naming dinos and sponsoring the park exhibits. But even beyond the nitpicking, the real problem with this movie is the total lack of character development and the poor directing/acting which leads to a total lack of suspense in a movie that in theory is suppose to be suspenseful and frightening. By the time the last 20 minutes were rolling around I was thinking "this is almost over and absolutely nothing of substance has happened" right before you get blitzed by a big stupid dino brawl and an unsatisfying ending that is basically a copy of the previous endings but 'BIGGER'. Unless you're just looking for some Michael Bayesque mindless tripe to spend 2 hours on I highly suggest saving your money and go find something better to do. This is just another cash grab using an established franchise and doesn't deserve the money it already has and will continue to rake in.… Expand

That is not because it was "new" back then. It just was simply a much better and more well put together film that still holds up today better than this one. I think my main issue centers on the fact that the movie just tries too hard to appeal to a super wide, mass audience with dumb cliche gimmicks (kiss scenes, feel good family scenes, out of place comedy lines, blatant rip offs of prior movies' scenes, etc etc). I can accept the raptors taking orders from Pratt (yeah it is super dumb, I agree, but whatever) but I simply cannot take the main girl wearing heels the entire movie because even in the context of the movie that is impossible -- she should sink in the mud at minimum --- they don't even have to show her change them, just change out of them, makes no sense. Honestly there really is too much else to complain about so I will leave it there.

So why a 5? It's not a "bad" movie per se. The movie was a fun ride if you have the typical American movie goer's brain, but I just wish it was more like the first and actually cared more about the story and character development with good acting rather than computer effects and cheesy scenes which are too many to count here. So what you get is just another generic movie no different than marvel super hero movies meant solely to draw huge crowds based on the "Jurassic" legacy with the addition of Starlord (Pratt).… Expand

Almost as a satire on itself the movie themes the "problem" of society to have everything bigger and louder to be satisfied. And as the clients of the Jurassic Park the audience gets a good looking, loud and spectacular tense movie but with a shallow narrativ. It's all fassade. Don't get me wrong the cast is good but it just can't cover up the missing story besides "a new threat, nearly impossible to win, surprising outcome".

There is and was so much potential behind the idea of a reopened Jurassic Park (World). And so the first part of the movie I was excited about all the changes and rather didn't focus on the optical quality, which is ok. The Park has opened again! That would be enough to keep me - as a fan - entertained for some time. But in the second part of the movie the main theme changed from "scenery" to "warzone". It turns into all out war where there is no actual narrativ than survival (again) and resembles nowadays "Blockbuster" movies.

This movie starts out great but forgets its roots. You can interpret into the film whatever you want but it is not a film for fans. It is an action movie like every other this year in search of its identity between actual story and presentation (f.e. Avengers 2 or last years Transformers to name some). I don't think nowadays consumers prefer the "bigger equals better" ideology over narrativ and style. But the later would require some inspirations and innovations that the movie industry deeply needs. So they stick with the same idea and so do the themes of the movies they produce.

As a result Jurassic World is not a movie for fans. There is no memorable moment in the film, there is creativity missing and there is just too much wrong with the ending. The truth is even the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (Original) looked way better - still today - than the CGI constructed monsters in Jurassic World. And it therefore this movie can't stick out in any way. It is just a bland mediocre action movie but it's missing something catchy.… Expand

Not only is it boring, but the characters are flat, the story is with its trained raptors and goofy interactions between the raptors and Rex is idiotic, the director didn't add anything, nothing inventive, surprising or smart. The script is just a rehash from the first script. No tension and only 2 or 3 laughs. Imagine how many good movies you can make with 180 million dollar. I am turning 18, so it could be that I am just getting too old for lazy brainless roller-coaster movies. Why didn't Spielberg direct this one?… Expand

Bad dialogue, bad acting, the plot was poorly constructed, excessive product placement. Don't really need to say much more. Really didn't like this movie.

When we first saw the trailer for ‘Jurassic World’ our expectations dipped below their already low level after this film was originally announced, no “Jurassic” sequel will ever live up to the original given the inherent lack of discovery andWhen we first saw the trailer for ‘Jurassic World’ our expectations dipped below their already low level after this film was originally announced, no “Jurassic” sequel will ever live up to the original given the inherent lack of discovery and wonderment and considering the cynical nature of modern audiences, despite all this we have to say that for what it is ‘Jurassic World’ proved to be surprisingly entertaining.

Yes the storyline is repetitive & predictable and the secondary thread with the Velociraptors just plain silly, plus considering the 22 years of technological advancement since ‘Jurassic Park’ the CGI effects here are not that impressive, but with an infusion of comedy and the irresistible charms of Chris Pratt added to the huge action set-pieces and the majesty of the park itself, ‘Jurassic World’ has captured just enough of the original’s elements to make it a thoroughly entertaining thrill-ride.

Story-wise the film continues the theme or warning against the manipulation of nature for corporate gain, rather ironic considering the distinct corporate nature of the movie, there’s also a clear reverence for the original with constant references to characters and events and the use of core elements from the iconic John Williams score.

The Bottom Line…
While it doesn’t hold a candle to the Spielberg original, ‘Jurassic World’ is by far the best of the “Jurassic” sequels and has just about enough to make it a fun thrill ride and a worthy summer “popcorn” blockbuster.… Expand

Jurassic World ranks below The Lost World. I was quite disappointed. There is a lot of great CGI and some good action scenes, but the story, acting and direction really wasn't at the same level.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jurassic World is a very mediocre film. This film had so much promise and it fails to deliver what the first one has set up. The plot is very poor. Dialogue is awful. The dinosaur reveal was so poor. The kids in this movie are useless. There has been no logic to the plot of this movie. How does Bryce Dallas Howard run through the whole park drive every car possible and still have her high heel shoes on?? how?. The new dinosaur is just not scary. The director of this movie has no clue how to do suspense. He has done such a poor job. The only good thing in this movie is Chris Pratt who is a badass.… Expand

Awesome CGI effects. Story, dialogue corny and Jurassanine. Sappy, stupid, and lazily put together. CGI is the only redeeming quality of the film, unless you can suspend intelligence and a sense of plausibility.

The movie was basically two hours of advertising placement and bad stereotypes. Every character could not have been more flat. It's like the script was incapable of creating characters. It is the antithesis of everything great about Mad Max

What's worse, the movie never seems to be able to make up its mind whether it wants to be a bona fide action adventure or full-out camp (a la "Starship Troopers"). Sometimes filmmakers go to the well one too many times, and this is a classic example of that adage. Save your money.… Expand

This franchise was given zero consideration. Given the amount of advertising related to Jurrassic World, this movie was designed to generate money, not wonder.… Expand
