Good - people seem not to have listened to the critics ...



It started great and is already a hit outside the USA.

I really don't get the bad reviews for this movie. It was fun and had great special effects, gorgeous set pieces and a good cast.

Not a game changer - but a very enjoyable and entertaining film!

And good set up for the next film!

the question is, how did "jurassic world" get more positive reviews, when "fallen kingdom" is undeniably better made in terms of direction, special effects, set pieces and so on? the only good thing j.w. had in comparison was a more interesting premise (fully functioning dino theme park). so do critics do their reviews based on the concept rather than the actual movie?

I enjoyed it about the same as the first JW. It's got better action and the characters are more likable. But the first one did have a better sense of pacing and buildup to that final battle.

Fallen Kingdom is to Jurassic Park what TLJ is to Star Wars. The dumbest shit ever released in the franchise! Universal are in panik mode right now. They are even trying to delete critical reviews on YouTube right now. Cause they knew that this is the worst shit ever released with a Jurassic Park label put onto it.

"panic mode" with $710+ million box office worldwide? yeah, sure, panic as they haven't bought enough champagne maybe...

reply

There is no 710 million worldwide. Thats just a projection, that is already proven wrong. And they spend more then 500 million in total on that movie.

And nothing shows panik mode better then deleting your critics! Cause this is the worst shit ever released within the Jurassic Park franchise.

I think that honor belongs to JP III. But opinions differ and I enjoyed JW2.

And even so I don't like JP III so much - for me the whole franchise didn't have one really bad movie so far.

I loved the movie..Bryce Dallas Howard (Boy is she hot), the adorable new little girl Maisie, and returning raptor Blue//

Yeah I loved it. I'm just happy my favorite franchise is back and alive. Sure there are loads of things I might have liked differently, but like you said, its just very enjoyable.
