JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM | 22 JUN 2018 | Universal | J.A. Bayona to direct | The Park is Closed | NOT THE FRANCHISE WARS THREAD

[grim22]

Just watched this. I wanted the nerd character to die because he was just so awful. The first half is fun, the second goes off the rails in a big big way. Overall, 7/10 for the first half, 3/10 for the second.

The  self-righteous dino-hipster chick and the nerd wimp were probably Kahtleen Kennedy s favourite and her reading JW 2 's script is probably how Colin Trevorrow got the Star Wars gig for a few months.

She fell in love.

At one point Pratt says "She's been tranqd", having spent too much time here I heard it as "She's been Tranked" and thought Josh Trank had tweeted disowning this movie.

3 Franchise killers in 6 months ?

 

Great rythm Hollywood.

Keep up the good work.

 

P.S : Not really killers but, you know what I mean.

thought the movie will be backloaded but seems like dispite a big drop in ow good legs won't happen. the reception on bot is not that positive. ur typical sequelitis fare i guess, legs-wise. sub-400 looks more and more real. 160*2.5 = 400.

Going tonight at 8pm on SuperScreen

BOT voted the first JW as a nominee for Worst Picture at the Boffies, and that One had good WoM.

 

While reception for this one does look weaker, idk if we can make a legs judgement just about year.

A lot of people were really butt hurt when Jurassic World out grossed Age of Ultron. That's where a lot of those silly overreactions came from.

The first one was quite good, too bad about the latest impressions. How does it compare to Jurassic park 2 , the low point of the franchise thus far ?

Regardless of anything else, the low point is Jurassic Park III. Blockbusters dont get worse than JP3. Its a pure abomination and amazingly mainly because of 1 scene @aabattery

All the sequels have been poor.  But JP 3 beats out the rest because it has Alan Grant who so far has still been the only likable/rootable lead in any of these movies.

I am with you on JP3 being fun adventure as what a dino movie should be even though it was not in the league of the original JP.

 

For me JW:FK is below JP3 but above JP2. JP3's story was simple but coherent, JW:FK is convoluted and incoherent, and has AoU fault of having to set up for the threequel. The characters in JP3 might not be memorable but at least unoffending. Most characters in JW:FK are laughable, unlikable, or even douchey.

 

One may watch it once for some of fun/exciting/thrilling scenes involving dinos, but the poor story and characters work against rewatchability.
