Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) by Ajzeg01 — 21 Sep 2019

While this isn’t the worst movie I saw this year, it is by far the most disappointing. I’m not even comparing it to the original Jurassic Park, no Jurassic sequel could be as awesome as that! No, this movie absolutely pales in comparison to the last movie, Jurassic World! While that movie had a pretty weak story and characters, the action was absolutely thrilling and I regularly rewatch it for that alone.

It’s tied with Star Wars: The Force Awakens for my favourite movie of 2015. Fallen Kingdom didn’t have any of that. What little character the first movie had was gone, replaced with cartoon characters with exaggerated and over-the-top personalities, and it was much tamer in comparison.

Most of the movie is set in a house and there’s only one dinosaur on the loose! What kind of Jurassic movie is that? That’s like something someone would make up as a joke, making fun of movie series that have clearly run out of ideas! Also, out of all the subplots in Jurassic World to follow up on, why did they choose the weaponized dinosaurs? That was by far the weakest aspect of Jurassic World! It’s stupid and makes absolutely no sense! There’s a lot of that in this movie, it feels like a Saturday morning cartoon! I have to say though, the ending was pretty awesome.

I wish I didn’t see literally all of it in the trailers. I’m looking forward to Jurassic World 3, it has a very interesting setup that really makes me wonder why they didn’t just make that movie instead.

They could’ve easily skipped over this movie and made the next movie this movie! Anyway, as you can tell, I really didn’t like this one. I don’t recommend it, even if you do like the other Jurassic movies.
