I loved it too. I actually didn't even have a problem with the high heels thing at all. Actually, I think it's a ridicously overblown controversy. Anyway, she confirmed she won't have heels in the sequel, so I guess everyone will be happy about this.
Bryce Dallas Howard's performance though was great, as Chris Pratt's was too.
Trevorrow's work as a director in JW was good, and pretty great if you think he was just a newcomer.
Bayona is a talented director and even more experienced, so this could be a further improvement.
