Rent Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Formulaic - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom review by HM

Silly plot, just a chase film but chopped into a few parts. This franchise has gone the way of Star Wars; brainless action, daft story and contrived set pieces straight out of the cliché book. The popcorn will help you digest this 'one movie too many' in the series.

Same old, same old - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom review by Alphaville

There’s nothing new in this second entry in the children’s Jurassic World franchise. People run from dinosaurs firstly on an island and finally in the villain’s underground lair, with a climax filmed in poor light.

Same dinosaurs, same people in peril just managing to escape gaping jaws, same bombastic orchestral score. There’s an adventurous girl for the kiddies to identify with but no drama for adults. Even the new ’Indoraptor’ is just another angry dino with different claws and teeth. Guess how every single baddie (every one a man) gets his comeuppance. Much more interesting is the raft of other features on the DVD, including star Chris Pratt practising his moves, interviewing the crew and playing it for laughs.

Great Special, Effects Poor Story Line - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom review by DK

Not very original but the CGI does bring these monsters to life in more detail than Ive seen before so worth a watch.

Excellent - esp the beginning and first half - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom review by PV

4.5 stars for this - a brilliant opening sequence and top rate first half, let down later in the movie. Plus a lot of pc stuff I dislike.

The second half gets a bit gothic and 'Nosferatu' actually, which some reviewers put down to the Spanish director BUT he didn't write the script.

Toby Jones is great but the stars are the dinosaurs, as ever!

Wimpy watered down version of the sequal of a sequel! - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom review by CS

Whilst this film opens with a bang and the first half is good, it's now become a bit of a cliche, rehashing old overly familiar themes and right from the start, was extremely predictable! I sat there and kept thinking, I know what's going to happen next and sure as eggs are eggs, it did, so for me the storyline was nothing new and the predictability really took the fun out of it all. What I thought was the actual theme of the film, really all takes place within the first half an hour, then we are taken to a completely different location altogether and here it just gets really silly! Throw in a handful of Russian and East Asian Crime Lords, the tired old theme of greed and mix with a little bit of genetics and what you get comes off as a real mish mash of a storyline. And please lets stop being so PC all of the time as it really is getting in the way of making a good film. It's almost de-rigor now that you have to have a Black, East Asian, Action Woman and so on even when they are completely irrelevant to the storyline, however this switches the roles around and gives us a really pathetically wimpy teenage black boy, a hard on full action could be lesbian girl and a half hearted clone of a daughter, all of which are a blatant attempt at being PC and really just ends up damaging the characters and the ability of the actors to bring any gravitas to the situation. I thought the last 15 minutes just descended into silliness and complete unbelievability. What would be the logical choice, you allow animals which had already gone extinct to die off once again, or to release them to roam wild in your local domestic neighbourhood, mad carnivorous killers like a T.Rex or Raptor, you guess which option they choose, because of course we've got to have yet another sequel of the sequal haven't we!

Gigantic Yawnathon - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom review by BS

I couldn't find a single, solitary aspect to this film which was a patch on the original Spielberg classic. The plotline was probably written in about 10 minutes on a napkin, and the characters/acting is so by the numbers, you find yourself wanting to do nothing more than watch CGI dinosaurs rampaging about. Why don't we just have non-stop dinosaurs, we had that with the monkeys that can talk movies, I really think it's about time to ditch the cliched nonsense of humans trying to save or capture and sell dinosaurs, to having an all out Dinopocalypse. You have no idea how badly I wanted to see Chris Pratt get stomped on, or swallowed some hungrysaurus. The two-stars are for a couple of action sequences and special effects, everything else is pfff ...

Not bad, but not great - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom review by AL

Started off well, but seemed to leave the island abit too early for my liking. CGI was really good and the acting not bad, better than expected, but could have been better. Good to see Jeff Goldbloom and Toby Jones in the film. Worth watching, seemed to be a little bit too much obvious that it's a set up for the next one. But kids loved it, so that's good.
