How many times can they repackage the same old formula? Find another dumb reason to: -- Go back to the island.

-- Wow, look, dinos! Aren't they...still...amazing?

-- Dinos chase humans scenes.

-- Evil person tries to implement exploitive agenda.

-- Dinos eat some people and roar.

-- Don't forget the dino eyeball close up!

-- Will the main characters survive to make yet another movie? Perhaps, as I see one is slated for 2022. And yep, I'll probably watch it as I've seen them all.

The tension and thrill of the original has never been replicated and nothing new is really ever brought to the table in terms of story or thrill. These must still just rake in the cash.

For decades, movie dinosaurs were realised either by some form of puppetry or stop motion animation. Then, in 1993, Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park proved to be a game changer, amazing audiences with realistic prehistoric monsters created inside a computer. The problem since then has been in delivering that 'wow factor' - how can Hollywood keep on thrilling audiences when Spielberg's original set the bar so high? To be honest, I don't think they've found the answer yet.

The special effects in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom are technically brilliant, but the film doesn't really do anything that we haven't seen before, making the film as a whole yet another underwhelming experience. In desperation, the film-makers have resorted to more outrageous set-pieces, as well as inventing bigger and badder dinosaurs that never actually existed, all of which requires way too much suspension of disbelief.

And talking of pushing the boundaries of believability too far, the notion that velociraptors were intelligent enough to be trained is quite preposterous: they had pea brains, experts rating their intelligence on a par with a rabbit. Anyone stupid enough to try and become a veloci-whisperer would wind up as a meal for the ravenous lizard (except, of course, for the fact that velociraptors were, in reality, only the size of a large chicken!).

Other things that had me rolling my eyes: Chris Pratt becoming an MMA fighter to plough his way through countless bad guys; a dinosaur that pretends to be asleep to catch someone off-guard; velociraptor Blue knowing only to attack the villains; the transportation of numerous ginormous dinosaurs to a mansion in the US without the knowledge of the authorities; and obligatory child Maisie (Isabella Sermon) ultimately releasing the captured beasts into the wild because she feels sorry for them. Duh!

5.5/10 for the special effects, rounded down to 5 for annoying comedy-relief tech-geek Franklin Webb (Justice Smith) and for Toby Jones. There's never an excuse for Toby Jones.

I don't believe that it's implausible to presume that the film's heroine is idealistic, even naive, in some respects, but she's certainly not stupid. The moment Claire lands on Isla Nublar and encounters mercenaries that should have tipped her off that ghere was a real problem. Nevertheless, she blithely goes along and so does the hero. And are we to believe that the mercenaries show up on a dino hunt armed with standard issue military issue rifles (5.56 mm and or 7.62x51 mm) and sleeper dart rifles? Granted, they didn't intend killing the animals but those guns aren't powerful enough for modern big game animals let alone animals with hides thicker then rhinos, hippos, or elephants. Mercenaries would know this. I don't understand why the film makers ignore such minor details. The fact that they get so many of them worng is annoying,

Honestly, if you think all these movies are just going to be Jurassic Park over and over. Just stop watching. I love the direction the Jurassic Park movies are going. This one was new and exciting. I wasn't sure what was going to happen. I really enjoyed it. People being critical of this movie just want to see new versions of the original Jurassic Park over and over and over. Go into this movie with an open mind and you will really enjoy it.

I went into this movie not expecting much, after not really liking the first reboot. I was a fan of the classic Jurassic Park and even read both books by Michael Chrichton. But i was positively surprised by this newest release of the series.

Whereas the first reboot just tried to copy the original movie with a theme park idea and brought not much new into the series and was very boring overall, the second reboot makes alot different. For once the setting is different and not again on a secluded island. It is also alot more exciting with more suspense than the first movie. Also I liked the ending...

I would give it 8-9 out of 10.

So, the first thoughts.

A huge improvement over the corny Jurassic World. Far from perfect, but surprisingly good, and it includes some of the most beautiful scenes in the whole franchise. There are moments brought real tears to my eyes, and that has never happened to me before in a JP movie.

The animatronics are back, and they are superb. They used them carefully and wisely to tell the story. T. rex is awesome. She is the most magnificent creature in the movie, and she got some really excellent appearances, in which she became a menace again.

The movie starts with a great opening sequence, and it builds up tension slowly, then all of a sudden it turns into a non-stop roller coaster. The acting is well held this time, and there is little to no cheesiness at all.

The nods to the first two films are subtle but well played. The movie is brimful of classic JP set-pieces and atmosphere. Bayona nailed it with set-pieces.

As for the cons, the movie has got too loud sometimes, and this made me feel that I need a break. It also dragged for about ten minutes in its third act; these were the main two things that bothered me the most.

All in all, it was worth waiting. Not great, but good, and really fun. It's suspenseful, scary, heartbreaking, wonderfully filmed, and visually resplendent. There are three scenes here any fan can consider them some of his favorite scenes in the franchise.

Mister Bayona, after careful consideration, I've decided to endorse your park.

Long live Jurassic Park.

I'm always conflicted whether I should vote with my head or my heart. In the end as you can see, heart always prevails. Realistically, the movie has some flaws but deserves at least a 6.5/7. The initial setup is even more absurd then the usual while the connection with the first movie gives you a vague sense of déjà vu, at least for the first half of the movie. The pacing between the first scene and the beginning of the action is slightly tedious and abound of poorly written dialogue. Sadly, the new dinosaurs still have no feathers. Again, the bad guys are evil businessmen who this time around, seriously, and I mean seriously undervaluate whatever they're trying to sell. The movie kicks off with a questionable ethical decision and ends with one that is even more questionable. If you can see past all of that, Jurassic Park 5 is a fun, abate slighty stale ride. The dinosaurs look amazing. The setup for the closure episode is good and plenty of people get dismembered. What more could you ever want ?

Don't listen to the miserable, jealous people who have a problem with everything and accomplish nothing. This movie is great.

Twenty-five years ago, Steven Spielberg created movie magic with Jurassic Park, a film that redefined the blockbuster, becoming a worldwide phenomenon in the process. Thanks to 2015's Jurassic World, a film that smashed all sorts of box-office records, the franchise is well and truly alive, and the reason why dinosaurs are back on the big screen in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), both former employees at Jurassic World, agree to travel back to Isla Nublar and rescue a number of dinosaur species before the island's dormant volcano decides to erupt.

The idea of evolving the franchise ensures that we don't just sit through the same film of people being trapped on an island with dinosaurs again. You could sense from Jurassic World and the idea of training Velociraptors to follow human command that they wanted to take this franchise in a bold new direction. Events that unfold in Fallen Kingdom certainly confirm this and, for the most part, it's executed rather well.

This film has a plenty of cases of smart people doing dumb things but when has there never been a dumb decision made in one of these films? I mean, John Hammond's decision to actually bring dinosaurs back to life is pretty dumb but hey, if he didn't do that, we wouldn't have a franchise right? So, while some of these characters and their actions may be quite irritating, I advise you to just go with it and enjoy the ride.

J. A. Bayona throws back to previous instalments with certain sequences but this is most definitely a film with his fingerprints all over it. He delivers plenty of thrilling action but he combines it impressively with elements of horror to ensure that kids may find dinosaurs scary again. The opening scene of the film should be enough to convince you because it genuinely had me excited at what else Bayona had in store for the rest of the film.

The effects are expectedly magnificent for a film of this stature, coming to the fore rather brilliantly in a pulsating sequence that sees the volcano on Isla Nublar finally erupt. They really do make settling into this type of film rather easy. What didn't feel as settled was Michael Giacchino's score, which felt bizarrely intrusive at times, not like his work on the previous instalment.

Coming to the performances, as they did with Jurassic World, Pratt and Howard serve the film well. Pratt just has that charisma to make just about any role he plays insanely likeable, which makes it clear to see how he's forging such a career for himself. New additions to the cast will neither make or break the film because most people are there just to see the dinosaurs, and in Blue the Velociraptor and the new dinosaur named the Indoraptor, children will have a new favourite action hero and nightmare respectively.

I've come to the realisation that they will never be able to make a film that matches Jurassic Park in terms of quality in what remains of this franchise but I'm ok with that. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom entertained me from start to finish and that's what these films should aim for. From the last shot of the film, if they're going with this franchise where I think they could be going, I'll be damned if I'm not in the queue at the cinema.

Like a lot of others are saying the first part of the film, where they are escaping from the island is great and quite exciting and sets the film up pretty well.

However once the major action scene is over and they have to focus on the main story things start to go downhill. I think what bothers me the most is that a lot of the writing is just lazy and not well thought through or truely creative. Instead we get more of the same themes from the original JP films plus some more from JW. (Mutant dinosaur + evil corporate guys)

All of the main characters stories are pretty unbelievable and there isn't enough investment in developing their individual personalities / backstory so we understand why they behave the way they do. Sometimes I feel like the major action scenes were thought up first and then the story was just sort of inserted between them as a glue so we have a way of getting from one action scene to the next.

If you go and see this film you will probably enjoy it and it will most certainly entertain you for a while but after the moment has passed I am not left with the sense that I have seen something truely groundbreaking. Unfortunately I can't help but compare it to the original Jurassic park film and consider how it doesn't even come close to the terrifying moments of suspence and the brilliant portrayal of the different characters we got in JP1.

Given that there are so many 9+ reviews on here maybe i am in the minority but I just feel like we are letting Hollywood get away with lazy writing, which contains numerous plot holes just so we can marvel at some cool CGI. We really should'nt be satisfied with this state of affairs. We should all be demanding better, more creative writing that continues to offer us something new and exciting. This will only happen if we stop rating these mediocre generic blockbuster films so highly.

Was it was entertaining? yes without a doubt, but this is nowhere near a 9/10 film and you all know it. When rating these films please be honest with yourselves and send Hollywood a message. Don't let them think that lazy writing is ok. We aren't idiots and we do value a well written and interesting story.

Now that the dinosaurs has roaming the united states and the world. I cant wait for the next jurrasic world movie.

The original 'Jurassic Park' still is a personal favourite, it is an enormously fun, thrilling (with some nail-biting moments) and brilliantly made film, with one of John Williams' most memorable main themes and scene-stealing dinosaurs. 'The Lost World' has its admirers, but for me it was a major step-down and one of Spielberg's weakest films, and 'Jurassic Park 3' was even more disappointing.

'Jurassic World' was not a patch on the first 'Jurassic Park', but for all its faults and uneven parts it was a massive improvement to me on the previous two sequels and was an entertaining film in its own right that did more right than it does wrong. Seeing the bigger, bolder, darker (generally) and grimmer 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' a few weeks ago but have been behind with film reviewing and with being busy it has taken until now to review it, personally found it to be a better film but can understand the mixed critical reception.

First things off, 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' is an incredibly well-made film, it's beautifully shot with scenery that's both colourful and atmospheric and the dinosaurs look wonderful. The dinosaurs also steal the film, not just their designs but also that they're lots of fun and are scary, their scenes are great to watch and there could have been even more than there were.

This is especially true with the Indoraptor, who is chillingly bloodthirsty, when attacking it's enough to be glued to one's seat and then jump out of it. Blue's role also has a lot of touching heart. Michael Giacchino's music score is positively stirring, and even includes themes from Williams' score for 'Jurassic Park', which was just a lovely homage and fits within the rest of the scoring beautifully.

'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' has a nostalgic quality, some of it is savvy and funny and while not as much as the original there's still a good amount of thrills and fun dinosaur action (especially the scary opening sequence) to be had. Parts are thought-provoking in primarily the first half and the darker and grimmer tone is handled mostly with a good amount of suspense. The direction is neat and while the acting is uneven there are charismatic performances from Chris Pratt and particularly Bryce Dallas Howard, as the film's most developed and evolved character in a film that expands on themes and ideas from the previous 'Jurassic World' and Isabella Sermon like Blue provides some heart. Liked the relief characters, especially Zia and James Cromwell and Jeff Goldblum are nice in small roles.

Sadly, the film is not without its drawbacks. The villains are underdeveloped pantomimic stereotypes with confused motivations. Ted Levine is especially wronged as a mere underused cartoon, while Rafe Spall is completely flat and Toby Jones is wasted.

The final third, after such a great opening sequence and intriguing first half, has suspense but also gets repetitive and silly with behaviours so face palm-inducing that the character is begging to be eaten (Levine's character especially).

Furthermore, the story could have done with a less is more (with elements that over-complicate the proceedings with inconsistent motivations and plot points and ideas not used to full potential) and less rushed approach. Some of the dialogue was less than great with some cheese and verbosity going on.

In summary, decent and entertaining but not mind-blowing. 7/10 Bethany Cox

This is the first time I got bored during a Jurassic movie and kept looking on my watch to see when it would be over. A lot of noise and spectacle but almost every scene a weak variation of ideas from previous films topped by the most ridiculous motivation for the heroes. The end of Jurassic World 1 promised a more interesting story. I am definitely not looking forward to another sequel.

Like the adventure of the movie, keeps you on your edge of seat, yet pretty funny as well.

This is bye far the best Jurrasic movie since the first one. Dont care about the haters. Go and see it today. Its amazing!!!!

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

** (out of 4)

With the remaining dinosaurs about to be killed off by an active and large volcano, activist Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) agrees to take a mission back to the island to try and save them. She talks Owen (Chris Pratt) into going with her but soon they are forced to make some decisions about the dinosaurs and especially when they realize that they've been double crossed.

JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM isn't the bomb that some are making it out to be but at the same time there's no question that it's the weakest film in the series and that's really too bad because there was an interesting story here that director J.A. Bayona just couldn't reel in. It's really too bad because this very well could have been the best of the series but the lackluster direction and lack of suspense really ruined it.

I thought the best stuff happened on the island when our leads must try to rescue the dinosaurs as well as survive the volcano. I really enjoyed the scenes dealing with the volcano and I must admit that I think the film would have been much better had it stayed on the island. It unfortunately heads back to land and we get into the second half of the film that deals with poachers and an auction sale of the dinosaurs. The entire third act just didn't work for me due to a number of reasons.

I understand movies like this need the viewer to follow the "suspension of disbelief" but to me this only works when what you're watching keeps you glued to the screen. You're so caught up in what's going on that your brain doesn't think about some of the things that you are watching. If you're bored with what you're watching, as I was with this film, then you mind starts to wonder and you start picking apart what you're seeing. I mean, how did all of these dinosaurs fit into this one mansion? Wouldn't their weight destroy this place? There are countless other examples where I was just rolling my eyes.

Pratt and Howard are in good form but it's Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) who steals the picture playing bad as only he can. He was certainly very entertaining and I'd say he easily stole the film. As you'd expect the CGI was wonderful looking as was the score and cinematography. Technically speaking the film was good for what it was.

However, the problem remains that the direction was rather lackluster and the lack of any real suspense just killed things. I really didn't think the second portion of the story worked and at the end of the day there's no question that this is a very flawed film that is also the least entertaining of the series.

Now listen up, before I talk about Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, I just wanna say that I am a HUUUUUUGE Jurassic Park fan and I honestly didn't want to get too excited about Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and after seeing it I thought that it was pretty fun. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was a fun enough sequel, but in my opinion it is not as good as the classic Jurassic Park, The Lost World or Jurassic World, but I thought it was way better than Jurassic Park 3! There were a lot of elements of Fallen Kingdom that I appreciated and others that I didn't appreciate and most of that has to do with the 2nd act of the movie and the characters. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are good in this movie and honestly Bryce Dallas Howard has a lot more things to do in this film! I could've lived without some of the new characters they decided to throw into the film, but they were fun enough and some of them were useful and others were just there to be a comedic coward, but the villains.....WOAH let me tell ya about the villains in this movie! Not good, at all and they honestly feel almost like cartoonish villains in a PG-13 movie. However, I thought the Indoraptor was pretty cool and a little better than the Indominus. I liked how the film didn't go to overboard with showing the genetic hybrid that much and only showed in the scenes that it should be in. And I also like how the film's called "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," because there are elements of this movie that give this movie the perfect title and I'm not spoiling any of these elements! And in my opinion, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is not going to be for every Jurassic Park fan or even everyone in general. Because of the choices the creators made in this film and the direction by J.A. Bayona, this film is it's own story that knows it's not similar to the other Jurassic Park movies, so there will be a mix between a lot of people who love this movie and a lot of people who hate this movie. I personally enjoyed Fallen Kingdom and I can't wait to see it again and I actually would recommend watching it, even if you think it might be bad, because I think that EVERY movie deserves a chance to be seen by audiences before its judged. I'm gonna give Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom an 8/10!
