More thoughts about Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom

My thoughts on Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom were a bit harsh at times but I don’t regret them. It is not an awful movie but maybe watching Pacific Rim Uprising, Rampage, and Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom in a two week period might have been a bad idea. Maybe I should have spaced the films out better. There has been 1 classic movie in the Jurassic series, and that is the first one. It still holds up, I re-watched it a few years back. Maybe one Jurassic movie would have been enough.  There is going to be a third Jurassic World movie. (They teased it at end of the current movie .)

They are hired by a guy played by James Cromwell, who probably shot all his scenes in two or three days. (If adds for this movie are showing a lot of Cromwell, they are are being misleading.) Of course the plot is more complicated than that and there are human villains. Musical score is good and the dinosaurs look good. Chris Pratt and Dallas Howard are good. (I am not sure where Pratt’s character Owen learned to fight in between films.) Toby Jones has a supporting role, and it is good to see him. There is a plot point that I am not sure what the point of it ...
