I think he will do fine since George Lucas isn't involved, remember, it was George Lucas that wanted an alien in the first place.

What kind of name is, "Mutt" anyway? Sounds like a name for a dog or a derogatory insult used for some racial minority in movies and TV shows. The hell were they thinking with that name?

You know its such a shame Jurassic World was so terrible. I was so oddly hyped for it because after Jurassic 3 I thought they couldn't do any worse.

Then they somehow did a million times worse. And Terminator 5 sucked too. It was so sad, so very sad.

I can barely wait for the next JP sequel/requel/whatever myself.

The more I watch the former, the worse it gets.

I enjoyed Jurassic World a lot except for the T-Rex vs Indominus superhero like ending to the movie. It didn't do a lot of new but it gave me exactly what I wanted: A movie where the park was open and a return to Jurassic Park. It's not any worse than the other sequels and its a decent entry. Now if Jurassic World 2 is about a dinosaur War, while cool isn't Jurassic Park so I hope they don't go that route for the sequel. The concept itself of Jurassic Park doesn't really lend itself to sequels which is why no JP movie will ever be able to top the original unless they remake it and make it closer to the book.

Indiana Jones is definitely a series that could work with sequels with each one just involving a new "item". Its difficult to top the previous film each time since how many items can be as sought after as the Holy Grail but if they kept it like James Bond it would work. Of course that would mean a new younger Indiana Jones.

I actually really liked Jurassic World. I liked the characters, the music, the cinematography... the only thing that irked me was how D'Onofrio's character didn't fit in to the plot organically, but it wasn't a big deal.

The main characters were the worst part of Jurrassic World. The male and female lead had no personality outside of stock characters, the kids were awful, the white texan who wanted to use the raptors as soldiers was so cliche and idiotic, and then there was the babysitter who got a cruel death for no reason?

The only guy I liked was the Indian man who was the park owner and he died in a helicopter crash.

I honestly can't remember a single character's name from Jurassic World. I only know them by their real names. "Look, there's Chris Pratt! There's Ty Simpkins! There's Bryce Dallas Howard! There's Omar Sy!"

I'm kind of surprised they let Omar live.

I can't remember their names either. I just call them by what they are:

- Stock male white hero
- Stock lead female character love interest
- Annoying kid characters
- Rich white Texan who wants to use dinosaurs as weapons and is an idiot
- Babysitter who dies for no reason
- Indian man

Works for any movie out there.
