Review of Jurassic World (2015) by Patricia W — 23 Aug 2017
As much as I like Chris Pratt I couldn't stand this film. One of it's biggest problems is it's laughably badly written characters, our protagonists being an ice queen that runs away from dinosaurs in high heels and a macho, slap you on the ass and kiss you against your will kind of guy that feels like he's been pulled straight out of Mad men.
Of course the plot is the standard Jurassic Park plot but it lacks any of the charm and fun of the original. The raptors are reduced to oversized dogs that can be trained and used by humans, there is no jeopardy because the characters are so unlikeable that you don't care if they make it to the end of the movie and, seemingly bored with dinosaurs, the writers decided to replace the fearsome T-rex with Indominus Rex, T-Rex 2.
0 because wouldn't it be cool to see them fight!? No, no it wouldn't. The only spark of originality comes in the form of a marine creature not featured in the franchise before but it's screen time is so brief it's really not worth sitting through 2 hours of trash to see it.
Just like the one Ellie stuck her arms into in 1993, this is one big pile of shit.
