Summary
Reviewers say 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' offers impressive CGI and realistic dinosaur designs, with praise for Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard's performances and chemistry. However, the plot is criticized for being predictable and unoriginal, with clichéd villains and pacing issues. The film's reliance on nostalgia and references to previous movies is seen as detracting from its own story. Despite these flaws, many find it entertaining for its action sequences and dinosaur spectacle.
Featured reviews
I have to say usually back in the days sequels are never as good as the first but Hollywood is doing pretty good making sequels and this one I can say was good enough for me. The first half of the movie explains what's gonna happen to the dinosaurs after the fall of Jurassic world and the second half is basically a dinosaur chase with terror. Somewhere in the middle you feel sad for the dinosaurs and what's gonna happen to them and you wish you could do something about it. And there is a focus on blue the velociraptor that plays an essential part to the story plot and why it's happening . It
Was fully entertaining, wasn't boring at all. And it was action packed
Like a lot of others are saying the first part of the film, where they are escaping from the island is great and quite exciting and sets the film up pretty well.
However once the major action scene is over and they have to focus on the main story things start to go downhill. I think what bothers me the most is that a lot of the writing is just lazy and not well thought through or truely creative. Instead we get more of the same themes from the original JP films plus some more from JW. (Mutant dinosaur + evil corporate guys)
All of the main characters stories are pretty unbelievable and there isn't enough investment in developing their individual personalities / backstory so we understand why they behave the way they do. Sometimes I feel like the major action scenes were thought up first and then the story was just sort of inserted between them as a glue so we have a way of getting from one action scene to the next.
If you go and see this film you will probably enjoy it and it will most certainly entertain you for a while but after the moment has passed I am not left with the sense that I have seen something truely groundbreaking. Unfortunately I can't help but compare it to the original Jurassic park film and consider how it doesn't even come close to the terrifying moments of suspence and the brilliant portrayal of the different characters we got in JP1.
Given that there are so many 9+ reviews on here maybe i am in the minority but I just feel like we are letting Hollywood get away with lazy writing, which contains numerous plot holes just so we can marvel at some cool CGI. We really should'nt be satisfied with this state of affairs. We should all be demanding better, more creative writing that continues to offer us something new and exciting. This will only happen if we stop rating these mediocre generic blockbuster films so highly.
Was it was entertaining? yes without a doubt, but this is nowhere near a 9/10 film and you all know it. When rating these films please be honest with yourselves and send Hollywood a message. Don't let them think that lazy writing is ok. We aren't idiots and we do value a well written and interesting story.

How many times can they repackage the same old formula? Find another dumb reason to:
-- Go back to the island.
-- Wow, look, dinos! Aren't they...still...amazing?
-- Dinos chase humans scenes.
-- Evil person tries to implement exploitive agenda.
-- Dinos eat some people and roar.
-- Don't forget the dino eyeball close up!
-- Will the main characters survive to make yet another movie? Perhaps, as I see one is slated for 2022. And yep, I'll probably watch it as I've seen them all.
The tension and thrill of the original has never been replicated and nothing new is really ever brought to the table in terms of story or thrill. These must still just rake in the cash.

I just watched this movie for the 2nd time and definitely enjoyed it again. Yesterday I read the reviews and found the many bad comments interesting but uncalled for. Yes the movie had plot holes and you did need to suspend logic quite a bit but REALLY? What did you expect? It was a movie about the bringing back of dinosaurs!!
A completely impossible idea. But interesting and enjoyable for a movie to sit and vege out with. Liked it a lot
This really is an entertaining movie. Not my favorite in the franchise, but solid all around and entertaining throughout. Dont listen to all the hateful reviews.

- TriviaIn an interview with Vulture, Jeff Goldblum said that he does not mind at all when he gets asked to essentially play himself on the big screen. "People write Jeff Goldblum-y parts and they want me to do them, and that's fine," he said. "I think I can even do a better version of it. So no, this little Jeff Goldblum row that I'm hoeing is still adventurous."
- Goofs(at around 1h 30 mins) Multiple human characters are sedated with animal tranquilizers, with Wu specifically naming the particular narcotic used as carfentanil at one point. Carfentanil is extremely potent and has a lethal human dose in the micrograms, meaning any human injected with a dinosaur-sized dosage of carfentanil should have experienced a quick and fatal respiratory failure. Wu and Owen recover fairly quickly and suffer no lingering side effects. Because the tranquilizer is so potent, real-world veterinarians who sedate heavy animals like elephants must be accompanied by assistants who can administer naloxone (the antidote) and provide artificial respiration.
- Quotes
Senator Sherwood: Do these animals deserve the same protection given to other species? Or should they just be left to die?
- Crazy creditsPost-credits scene: Pteranodons are shown flying on the Las Vegas Strip.
- Alternate versionsThe Italian version has three scenes trimmed for violence before submitting the film to the local censorship commissions. These are: 1) T-Rex inside a cage swallowing a goat 2) Indoraptor swallowing the bitten-off hand of Ken Wheatley) Ted Levine and then roaring his hat off. 3) T-Rex and Carnosaur ripping in two the body of Eli Mills (Rafe Spall)
