Just been to watch Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom:

Best Jurassic film since the original, literally some amazing scenes and fights, great story with sad, funny and scary moments! However the star of the show goes to the Indo-Raptor! Honestly when you see it you will all fall in love, I want that thing in my park! Overall it's a easy 8/10 for me, some parts were very predicable, but it's 100% well worth the watch, and as I said, in my opinion it's the best Jurassic film since the first classic debuted way back in 1993.

Indo-Raptor > Every other dinosaur ever. Literally the stuff of nightmares.

GO WATCH IT!

I was tempted to simply watch it online (as I do 90% of all films) but I thought I can't be making do with a dodgy cam quality picture, filmed by a guy that appears to have parkinson's disease. I think this film really does need the full cinema experience to appreciate it more.

Definitely waiting until something throws it at my head.

The metro setting and militarising dinos themes are the most cringeworthy addition to jp lore. I appreciate the original as an aliens clone with excellent alternate premise.

The new series is for actual children to sell toys to. Its another shallow contemporary super hero/comic action movie.. If batman jumped out during the dino battle scene you wouldn't think he was in the wrong movie. ... And there actually was a dino battle scene. Really?

Well, im sure some people like the new star wars too, meh so im happy just to appreciate what i did enjoy.

I watched a video on JW the other day and a guy said you could call it Escape From Dinosaur Island and make it a sci-fi original and no one would be able to tell the difference. I kind of felt that way. I didn't care for the first JW much.

I'm going to watch it tonight with a group of friends, and I absolutely cannot wait. Though it seems the majority of die-hard JP fans hate JP3, JW, and JWFK, I've walked out of every single movie feeling positive so far. I'm just not at all critical when it comes to movies, and I ignore any and all reviews... If you had said it was a terrible movie, I would be no less excited than I am now...

edit: We are going to go see it in 4DX, so moving chairs, water spraying, and intense surround sound is going to make it so much better..

I can NOT understand how you can say anything like that. I won't spoil anything, but if the film is well realised, the scenario is a pure disaster. Lots of clichés, stupid decisions by most of characters, lots of inconsistencies... Crichton would never have liked something like this.

i forgot to say that, yes, i'm an huge fan of the first film but I really enjoyed TLW and JW. I did appreciate JP3 when I was a kid but I find it so stupid now for the same reasons I didn't enjoy Fallen Kingdoms.

I don't want to ruin your parade, but JP merchandising is a huge aspect of it since the first movie.

The movie also follows up on the original books ideas, so you can't really be more JP than that. You can totally hate that theme but it makes sense and build upon the warnings Malcolm gave Hammond in the first movie/book.

It's 25 years ago so it's not easy to remember but Crichton's Jurassic Park was met with the same kind of GM reaction; cloned, genetically engineered dinos, on a lunchbox. Man plays god, heresy! Themes of that first movie were chaos theory - populist maths of the time - and the breakdown of man-made systems but I think it's a stretch to imagine 4 more films based on the exact same themes being very interesting, dinos or no.

Exploitation for me, is an interesting theme because as Alan Grant said, real science is found in the ground, what Hammond created were theme park monsters. We were already on a slightly fantastical arc, right from the start but the idea of people trying to make money in even more exploitative ways, once a park seems a less good idea, is really not that far fetched for me. Neither is the idea of imprinting and training, people have been doing that with eagles for millenia.

Exactly this is the movie, we could change Chris Pratt for Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), and you wouldn't notice a difference in the spirit of the movie. My recommendation? Go and see this movie with your brain off, you have to go thinking "I just want to see dinosaurs, I don't want logic and coherence, just some mindless action", and you'll be good to go.

I am glad you liked the movie. Unfortunately I have to wait till the 22nd to be able to watch it, but I will definitely go and see it because I want too. Sure when I saw Jurassic World for the first time I was skeptical too but it grew on me. They can't please everyone with the movie, same thing for Jurassic World Evolution, you can't please everyone!! Liking or not liking is just a human opinion.

Yes, but liking it's separated from quality, I liked Pacific Rim 2 because I just wanted to see robots vs robots and monsters, but the movie it's bad, but I could enjoy it because I I wasn't looking for anything more from that movie. That's why the new movie can't grow on me (I didn't like the first World movie, those Dinosaurs from different species acting like the A-Team… ugh… it's a total Deus Ex, but it was better than this Joke that doesn't deserve the name Jurassic), because it's nothing more than action and absurd logic, and I want something like the first Jurassic Park, but I see that those good old times are far, far away.

I liked JW:FK - and certainly worth a cinema visit. It's no JP, but then again the whole movie series is quite meta - it's a series of films about parks featuring increasingly outrageous dinosaurs in order to carry on attracting visitors - very meta.

It also made me wonder how much FD were told about the storyline - as you can tell even from the JW:FK trailer there is not much park management going on in the film which it is being released with ;)
