The best sequel to Jurassic Park is now HBO's Westworld anyway.

This isn't some AAA film that was shat out by Michael Bay, this was SUPPOSED to be an entry in a long running franchise with established themes and ideas about the dinosaur v human relationship. This film is tonally inconsistent, slapstick and cruel, and overall really dumb.

All that link tells me is that "there are rules in movies about deaths how dare you not follow them, was it because she's a woman on the phone?"
I saw a shocking death and was therefore shocked. Whether it follows common practice or not it doesn't change that fact. It was a single death in a movie filled with ridiculous shit. I'm just not seeing the argument why a filmmaker can't do what they want because it's a long established franchise or because of a rule in cinema. We don't even know what their goal with the scene was, or have they explained?
lol no, it's Jurassic Park, which is the Frankenstein story with dinosaurs
they are all AAA films and I don't know what Michael Bay has to do with it

It's an alright movie, I had fun. It was cool seeing the raptors and the T-rex again.

It's fine if you guys don't want to critique the film as what it is - a jurassic park film - but it's not like I pulled these three articles out of my ass while writing responses in this thread, people were not happy with her death and wrote about it. Hopefully the production staff take note.
I'm not going to reply anymore because I have wasted way too much time since this piece of shit came out arguing about why it's trash.

Nah, it's boring and just a bad sequel.

Im not going to critique it because when I watched it I knew it was a dumb film, I laughed at shit audibly out loud that was meant to be serious apparently because it's a dumb film, and I came out of the movie with tears in my eyes over how much I laughed. It was a schlocky film about dinosaurs in an island that happens to be a long running franchise. Be my guest and critique it, but I didn't come out offended over anything.
My only complaint is that they didn't use the amazing harmonica cover of the theme from YouTube in this movie

Wow I didn't know that scene was such a problem for some people. When I saw it I was like 'meh, a bit excessive maybe' and that's that 
But I do get the criticism.
But I do get the criticism.
Jurassic World was...not great for me.
I felt like there were too many independent plotlines and picking any one of them would have made for a better movie on its own because it would have been simple. As it was it ended up in a hodge-podge mix of plotlines that didn't entirely fit together, and the final half hour was just bad.
Jurassic Park remains the one decent film in the franchise for me.

The trousers were on but when that stomping got closer he was deffo having a shit mate!
I'm a massive Jurassic Park fan, which helped.
I enjoyed it.
QFT. Gennaro was shitting.

I've enjoyed it quite a lot but i wish they would get rid off the kids,they were a waste of screentime imo.
Also,i didn't like the constant 'in your face' easter eggs from the first movie,yeah we know it's another sequel to that great movie.
I still find pretty funny that Claire had to leave hastily the Indominus Rex's cage just to make a phone call to the control room from her car.

its comes under my dum fun catagory.
I liked it.
I liked it.
It was mediocre and gets worse the more I think about it.
Zada's death scene was perfectly explained in that article and was exactly how I felt.
The parents divorce whining came out of the blue.
The chemistry was terrible and the kiss incredibly forced.
The park giving free reign to roam around in that bubble vehicle is just lazy.
The raptors turn around to pets was pretty laughable. Also their creation for military use was a bit much to buy.
Had to suspend a lot of disbelief to accept the new dinosaur getting away with all that it was doing.
So on and so on.

I don't like it at all. I hated the movie when I saw it in cinemas and I don't think I can watch it more than once. It is a poorly made movie, IMO.
That end sequence made me laugh so damn much, it felt like a wwe tag team fight, I kept expecting a folded chair to be used and the t-rex & raptor to high five each other at the end.
Still I'm in the minority amongst my friends & family who tended to like it, each to their own I guess.

What they did with the assistant, and the fact that even the main villain didn't get killed on screen, still pisses me off.
I rewatched that scene a few times. Odd that Zara was the only person that died in that entire scene. Dozens of these creatures attacking, hundreds of people running (including children), and she alone is the one that is successfully killed. if the death sequence wasn't so dragged on (seriously, how many times was she dropped, recaught, dropped, thrown into the pool, art led, etc?), and if quite a number of people besides her also died, then you can make the argument that, "you know what, shit happens." But when it happens in a vacuum like that, it becomes obvious what the attempt was.
Characters dying isn't a problem. The manner that was chosen for her, and the fact that she alone was singled out for it is. It doesn't help that the film was very heavy handily trying to get you to dislike her.
But besides that and some other mind r things, I can't say I hated the film. I enjoyed it for bringing dinosaurs back to the big screen.

The biggest missed opportunity for the entire film for me was the end ...
I feel it would have been totally rad if ...
Instead, we got what we got.

The T Rex see's based on movement, we all know that. The Diablothingy can disappeaar right? well... hint hint. What should have happened was the T Rex was released and was clearly the underdog. Smaller, weaker etc.. and shouln't have a chance to win. When it starts to turn the tide, the Diablothingy should have gone invisible to try and pull a finishing move. However, Diablothingy doesn't realize that T Rex the heroine can see her still. Boom ... T Rex saves the day again in dramatic fashion with this twist and pays homage to lore from the first movie.
Instead, we got what we got.
Ah, the first book has a character eaten by a T-Rex because he too believed that about the T-Rex lol
that would have been cool
My favorite part was when the one guy tried to throw a small net onto the I.Rex that barely even covered its snout, like it was going to help. It was probably the most futile thing I've seen in a movie.
Something I don't see many mention is the huge plot hole where they comment that all the dinosaurs have electric shock things implanted in them (thus the big reveal when the I.Rex dug it out, "he remembered when they put it in!") and yet once the pterodactyls got loose, those fuckers had free reign. Didn't think to put those things on them? Nah, they're in a glass dome, they're fine!

The probably do have the chip implanted, it's just that the script forgot about it.
