Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) by Bkristman — 21 Jun 2018

They seem to always follow up a good entry in this franchise with a very ordinary one.Maybe they just thought they'd save money by re-using all the props and dino footage and cut down the cast to save money.

The plot is really weak as most doesn't make any sense at all.

The concept of using dinos as army weapons is ridiculous as they are really expensive and can be killed and tranq'ed without a lot of effort. Why Bryce's character all of a sudden is all weepy over them is a mystery as well to me. In the first film she thought they were just zoo animals.

Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard look like they're just slumming to get a paycheck with Howard looking strangely different from the first film but wearing exactly the same clothes. The villains are just bean counters except for the guy who played the baddie in Silence of the Lambs who is pretty amusing but none are very scary. The scooby doo gang girl and boy they took along to the island were lame.The boy especially was grating .

The ending sets up any number of possibilities for the future episodes although I can't see Pratt and Howard being in it.

Special effects were ok same as usual .The 3d was a waste of time as it was not noticeable .

I give this a 6 because I love monster films in any version.
