Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) by Shibboreth — 05 Jul 2018

This movie has one of the worst plots and some of the worst writing of any movie I've ever seen. Full disclosure, I slept on and off throughout the middle portion of it, perhaps for 10 or 20 minutes total, so it might actually be worse than I'm aware of.

Every single character managed to do or say something breathtakingly stupid and the entire plot repeatedly depends on these acts of inexplicable idiocy, making it perhaps the finest example possible of an "idiot plot".

I found myself repeatedly thinking, "why the heck would they ever do that?" or "why on earth would that ever happen?" or "why would anyone ever possibly think that?", and the answer was always supplied shortly thereafter by the story going in some stupid direction that it couldn't have gone in without the initial stupid thing happening.

It's a shame I didn't get more sleep, but the loud noises kept waking me up.
