Why does it seem like these Jurassic World films are plot paralleling the first 2 movies (at least based on the "Fallen Kingdom" trailer so far)? Or is it just me?
Jurassic Park & Jurassic World both have the main plot of a tourist amusement park that goes to chaos as the dinosaurs are unleashed. The Lost World & Fallen Kingdom both seem to have the main plot of scavenging the business remains of the fallen company; in handling, researching, and capturing dinosaurs that are now roaming on the abandon island, while other businesses try to take advantage of the failed tourist park business and trying to expand the dinosaur-exposure experience to a worldwide magnitude. |

I just watched it and I liked it. The movie is tonally totally different than what most are expecting I'm guessing (then again I didn't watch the tv spots or final trailer so maybe that's already spoiled?).
The movie is not perfect but there's enough there to make it a cool sequel, especially since it does something new with the franchise as it's kind of a horror esque movie. I wrote more about my experience at the premiere on my site. |

Well I wrote my spoiler filled problems with the movie here. I want to actively discuss spoilers now but I can't since most of my circles haven't seen it yet.
I don't like what this movie sets up for JW3 but I did love the horror like story of this one. |

I liked the opening scene. That concludes my list of positives for this movie.
The script was a mess. They need to get Trevorrow away from these scripts. Thank goodness Trevorrow got fired from Episode IX. |

I dislike that annoying Franklin character, everytime the camera focuses on his face I just... ugh.

Saw Jurassic Park 5. Better than 4... but not very good. Seems really desperate in grasping at straws to take things in this series any place new. It really doesn't have much to say. The "Indoraptor"? Government shadow agencies bidding small amounts of money for dinosaurs for... war? A cloned girl inserted to make us see that "we're the same as the dinosaurs"? I don't get the hybrid stuff, and it's two movies in a row now... and the last three now have been trying to "out T-rex the T-rex"... stop that. Best moment was the brontosaurus on the dock as they left. The rest is kind of a sub-end-of-"Lost World" affair. I don't think any movies after this will be even this compelling... I guess, they're just supposed to go around and try and collect them now, Pokemon-style? That doesn't seem very interesting.
It's a lot like Westworld (which makes sense... Westworld was Crichton's Jurassic Park warmup)... the whole thing is the robot revolt. Jurassic Park, the longer you can have the park believably and functionally open, the more mileage you can get. "Jurassic World" presented another chance, but they just repeated the exact same story as the first movie except inserting a lame FAKE dinosaur. The longer you spend building that up and living in that (whether it's the park in the JP movies or Westworld in Westworld), the more you can get out of that. Better writing, the last Jurassic World could have had crazy stuff confined to an isolated incident paid off by rich investors... leaving future movies to continue delving into that pot. But it left things in exactly the same place as the end of the first movie. To be fair, I'm not sure what else this new movie could have done.

I liked Fallen Kingdom. It sets up the 3rd movie in an interesting way. Plus there's even a little post credit scene. Which is a first for this franchise.

I didn't get what they were going with tonally with the ending. Is it... "Yay! T-Rex and velociraptor are gonna eat people in cities now!"? Because that's pretty sadistic. Is it... "The dinosaurs win! They're reclaiming their empire!" Because they won't. Or what? It doesn't make any sense and I wasn't sure what the movie wanted me to feel. There wasn't THAT many dinosaurs released... there was like 30, tops, in that room. Surely a week with the National Guard and Army combing the area would clean up (i.e., completely murder) all dinos roaming around.

It was good, but I just wish that the film had better story.

Yeah, all 30 of them. Wow, so suspenseful. I bet they'll totally win against the Army, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, and tactical missiles.
There's not even that many really dangerous ones, is there? There's just the one old, beat-up T-rex somewhere and the one velociraptor... who's mostly tame.

They told us this would be the last movie with a hybrid. I don't think it feels like The Lost World, I would've liked it if Fallen Kingdom was more like TLW and it took place mostly on the island. Catching dinosaurs Pokemon style won't happen but it would be awesome. Quote:

But it's not just 30 dinosaurs, there were a lot more, but remember they also sold the dinosaurs in the auction, now other companies can clone dinosaurs. Since the first movie Trevorrow told us where the trilogy was heading with really blatant "hints". That the title "Jurassic World" had another meaning than just the name of the park. So yeah by JW3 which will likely take place 3 years i the future (every JP film takes place 3 years after the previous except JW which is 10) So the whole world will be populated by dinosaurs, hence JW. I'm not a fan but whatever. Quote:

I'm not a fan of where the series is going frankly, I like JW2 but the ending gives a set up for a JW3 I'm not a fan of. As far as the secret ending, ugh. They don't belong in the Jurassic franchise, it wasn't even good, it should've been included with the final montage. |

Not that we saw. When the smoke was pouring in, we saw all the dinos converging in the big room in front of the gate... and it was 30, tops. Probably less.

I mean those are points are true, but it doesn't matter it's basically as good as confirmed and they'll just explain it in their viral marketing website for the next movie how 30 dinos became 1000s. Jurassic Park 6 WILL be humans living with dinosaurs. They've been setting it up for many movies now, JP///'s ending with the pteradons flying off, the JP Novels by Chrichton not only hint this but starts the book with a dinosaur in South America. JW interviews hinted at it and now JW:FK finally did it.
"There is no going back" I'm not a fan of it, I hate it. I hope I'm wrong and we do get them hunting 30 dinosaurs int he next movie but they've basically confirmed that was the end of the trilogy. At least they confirmed Jurassic War was not happening (which weaponized dinos are also set up in both JW movies) |

I'm just upset they didn't address the biggest cliffhanger from JW1:
DID THE PARENTS GET DIVORCED? |

I wish they'd bring the kids back as adults. How much more invested would we have been in the central villain of this movie if he was a mid-30s version of the boy from the first couple of movies, now a jaded corporate suit?

Yeah, instead of that generic villain whose name I can't remember or even a relative of Peter Ludlow of TLW (since he dies in TLW), why get all these new characters when there's established ones? Even Lockwood who I liked and the retcon kinda worked but Tim or Lex (the kids) would've been better.
Tim and Lex did come back in the 2010 IDW comic JP Redemption , he's not jaded but he does try to rebuild the park in Texas and things go wrong because the his partner ended up being Peter Ludlow (who is horribly scarred but somehow survived the Rex eating him in the ending of TLW) and wanted revenge on Hammond's legacy for what happened to him. Yeah the comic is trash but it was cool to see Tim back. But take a look at Ian Malcolm (Goldblum) he was wasted and all his scenes were in the trailer, his daughter (from TLW) wanting to work for Claire would've been cool. Or the kid from JP/// who actually had experience in the island would've been a good choice to go back. As far as the JW kids, I think it's confirmed that the parents separated. I don't know where you can see that, it's implied in the movie but they were maybe more explicit in the jr. novel adaptation or something of the like. All JP movies actually deal with kids that have divorced parents, even FK, well kinda. |

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom just crossed two major milestones today. It reached the $300 million mark at the North American box-office and also just passed $1 billion at the worldwide box-office. While the movie won't make as much as its predecessor I'm absolutely positive that Universal is still be very pleased with these results.
