Review of Jurassic World (2015) by Theoffice — 12 Jun 2015

I will let you know that the movie is in no way, shape, or form anywhere near as good as the first one in 1993. 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).
