Barely average movie. Way less than JW1.

The movie sticks to the story and it should had strong writing , instead it had medicore writing (way lot of dumb , absurd & silly scenes , particularly one scene was just godawful)

paltry direction.

Performances were decent.

 

Finally that Color Palette was pretty bad.

 

 

In India , online ticket selling site bookmyshow currently has it  at 78% , which indicates average response. 

Average critic reviews on this site is 2.3/5 indicates pretty bad.Part1 was at 3.2/5.

The irony is strong here

That would be a strange business decision imo, sequel of a 1.6b franchise movie, is it a good time to try to skeeze a bit more money ? Go for the giant spectacle...

To be fair all Jurassic movies had a lower budget than one would expect

yeah, and an absence of which seems to be a complain across a few reviews i read.

Quite true I think, this one did shoot quite a bit in the UK it seem, maybe we will have a better idea than the previous one.

at 200-250 reviews can it stay fresh. i don't think so even though solo did stay stubborn at 69-71% throughout.

I'm not sure Jurassic Park should be an every couple years franchise.  I'm only saying that in terms of records/expectations.  Obviously it's going to make a ton of money again but I think the main reason the last one exploded the way it did is because the franchise went away for a while and then delivered the goods... a fun action-packed spectacle.   It was nostalgia combined with being a solid sequel.

jw2 is looking at 7x it's prod budget ww even if it under-performs dom and does sub-300 in china :

275 china + 360 dom (144 * 2.5x) + 555 os-china (-30% from jw1's 790) = 1190 (7*170).

 

even deadpool2 won't manage 7x it's 110 prod budget. not having this sequel is a tough argument to make from a business standpoint. they will use these profits to fuel so much of their creativity and employement.

Going to see this tomorrow. I hope it's at least fun!

[Istealnames]

Just out of watching JW:FK. The script is terrible, the acting ranges from wooden to troll 2 shrieks to cringy beta male play acting. The story is stupid and the villains are literally caricatures. All these things make the attempt to layer an emotional undertone with the background music jarring.

 

Well the dinosaurs look good, so there is that.

Stupid story

Medicore script
Dinsoaurs & action part Gud

 

That sums up.

Are they really letting Trevorrow write the next script again?

Based on his work here, I’m not surprised at all that his script for a certain other franchise that we won’t name was rejected.

[dashrendar44]

Oh dear, that self-righteous dino-hipster chick was so insufferable (and the nerd wimp was useless as well), they made Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard come across like Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall...(And that's a feat because I hated JW partly because their characters were douchey and mediocre walking cliches).

 

I sense a pattern about Trevorrow's scripts...Writing unlikable characters that are supposed to be the endearing protagonists when you only want them to be eaten alive every time they open their piehole. That takes some talent...I guess.
