Meh.
All I can say is if someone gives you the keys to a franchise like Jurassic Park/World and that’s the best you can come up with you should really retire from making movies. The whole thing was a boring set-up to
Spoiler!
a Planet of the Apes-like sequel with action sequences you could see coming from a million miles away.

When the lava flow hit the brachiosaur and it reared up on it's hind legs I had two big fat tears rolling down my cheeks brah. RIP my childhood.
This is true, that got me to but not to the point of crying. Reminded me of Sam Neil's 1st look

I took it as a classic Universal Pictures monster movie it was enjoyable until the egregious plot hole of the Lysine Contingency
I liked it, in ways better than the last one. It definitely had you feeling for the dinosaurs in some parts.

The only gripe I really have is the twist towards the end, the one that separated the Lockwood and Hammond. They talk about it, and then nothing. I get that it's supposed to open up questions, but it should have either been omitted entirely due to how brief it was, or it should have been explained a little better, sooner in the film. Also the whole auction thing, that's too ridiculous of a concept, even for a movie about Dinosaurs. Indoraptor should have gotten to kill more rich people.
Thought it was okay. Previews make it look more epic than it was but it was enjoyable. My kids(9 and 7)loved it so there's that. Mostly a setup for the next one. [Reply]

This too.
BTW, your avatar — what’s your opinion on the Billy broo-ha-ha? [Reply]
I just want to throw this out there: Pyroclastic flows can reach a thousand degrees and hundreds of miles an hour.
My 18-year-old cousin begged me to see this with him and I relented. Halfway through the film, he turns to me and apologies. He should have. This was hot garbage and a mess from start to finish. They wanted to have some huge epic, and they wanted to have some sort of horror thing, and they wanted to have some sort of mystery thing. None worked. None were ever going to work. Sure, they tug at the heartstrings of our childhood buy murdering a bunch of dinosaurs.
Of the multitude of disappointments, I think I am most disappointed by the fact that the black market purchasers weren't a bunch of food conglomerates. If they could clone a bunch of giant dinos on the cheap and then slaughter them by the thousands per year, we would have a whole new meat group to chow down on. Fuck Russians, too. Just in general.
This is yet another franchise that should have been murdered with poison gas after the first one was created. #1 is fantastic because we all felt the awe of seeing out first dinosaurs alongside the main characters.

God damn this movie was bad. When the giant special dildo monster is climbing from the roof upside down like spideyman to sneak into the girl's room was possibly the dumbest shit I've ever seen on screen, and I've watched Attack of the Killer Tomatoes multiple times. However, that feeling was quickly eclipsed when the dildosuaraus for some reason is now slowly inching toward the girl in bed despite it never showing this behavior before when it was always in full rampage and murder mode. That was the dumbest shit I've ever seen. Maybe. It might have been when Quinn(?) the raptor guy is engulfed in what would be 100% deadly broiling cloud of poison volcano gases. Thank god for moviepass.
