"..and as you can see" the head accountant continues, "adding the Poochiesaurus Rex boosts expected revenue to ridiculous heights." The Omni Consumer Products execs applaud. "Once we realised we could simply copy the original product and replace its 'suspense' and 'sense of wonder' with our InsultinglyContrivedBullshit formula, we got results! We present to you... Jurassic World!". A reanimated dinosaur corpse shuffles into the room. It opens its crooked, drooling maw. Money falls out. Applause.

JW was brought to you by: Beats Audio, Samsung, Starbucks, Brookstone, Viewmaster, Verizon Wireless, Pepsi, Tostitos, Hasbro, Mercedes, Coca Cola, Nikon, Triumph, NBC/Jimmy Fallon, IWC, Ben and Jerry's, IMAX, Jamba Juice, Margaritaville, Hilton, and Pandora. Don't worry though, there are enough shreds of a story in there to keep this 'Logorama' of a film moving along, but not fast enough for you to miss all the plot conveniences and buffoonery packed into each scene. What a wasteful cash-grab.

As a lifelong fan of cinema, I find it discouraging that the global audience continues to reward mediocrity. This shattered the opening weekend box office record?? The msg we send is clear: characters, story and quality are not important to us. I don't think this is terrible by any means, but it plays it too safe; it doesn't try to be the best it can be and reach its potential - yet, we reward them with a massive bonus anyway! What incentive is there for studios to work hard and make great film?

At first I felt disappointed, as if lured into what seemed to be an appalling parade of product placement and tie-in appearances. But then a Mosasaurus devoured a careless British nanny after having been snatched by a ravenous Pteranodon. I then tore up my shirt in excitement and was asked to leave the premises.

Despite an enormous world to explore, it feels like we don't see much of it. There were too many plot lines and a lack of consistency; even with character personalities. The dinosaurs are cool, and the nostalgia nods were nice, sure, but I'd just rather watch the original JP a dozen times. Direction was lacking. Everything feels forced, like a hollow, corporate-sponsored set up for a sequel, even though the premise is exhausted now. But a $$ record breaking opening means another 'must be made.'

Fun to laugh at, but make no mistake, this is a huge cash grab. Bad punch lines, paper doll characters, rehashed themes, dinosaur carnage towards the end that felt eerily similar to a dog fight, and somehow the VFX aren't as impressive as the 22 year old original (?). Early on it makes a lazy stab or two at rampant product placement only to force feed you rampant product placement for the entirety of the movie. It wants to lampoon consumerist hell while simultaneously being consumerist hell. No.

Jurassic World the movie is in many ways exactly like the entry's alpha villain, the I-Rex--crafted in a lab by evil Chinese investors without any regard to ethics or decency, artificially enhanced with CG and "hey ma, look, it's that guy from Guardians of the Galaxy" star power, void of any soul, beyond redemption, and ultimately destined to be pwnd by (the more memorable monsters from) the original Jurassic Park. Yet despite all that, life will find a way...to make a 5th installment.

Tiresome franchise extension that tries so very very hard to copy and paste the formula of the previous ones but misses entirely the beat-by-beat action scenes where every action has an unexpected reaction, and fails to include Jeff Goldblum who (I realised with dismay) was quite possibly all the original really had going for it. Packed with glorious comic actors like Judy Greer, D'Onofrio, Lauren Lapkus and of course Chris Pratt who sadly are wasted on a cgi snoozer with a subpar script.

It seems like the people behind Jurassic World the movie has the same approach to movies as the guys behind Jurassic World the park has to theme parks. And from what I can understand, this makes both Jurassic World the park more profitable than Jurassic Park the park as well as Jurassic World the movie more profitable than Jurassic Park the movie. That saddens me as this is basically Jurassic Park written by those guys who write the story lines for WWE.

After an all-in-all well composed first act, the movie takes a wrong turn into uninspired monster territory (in which the lack of Spielberg's touch is missed the most) before completely letting go of the reins and climaxing in a wonderfully ridiculous final battle that sets a new standard for "jumping the shark".

It's mildly enjoyable as a pure turn-off-your-brain adventure flick, but still falls far short of the classic 1993 original in both the pre-dinosaur attack and dinosaur attack phases. Pre-dinosaur attack, there's no one around with the sheer personality or great lines as Goldblum in the original. During the dinosaur attack, the CGI dinos just never convince me they're in the same physical space as our human heroes. I missed the raptor suits. Honestly, I think I like JP2: The Lost World better.

Jurassic World is a two hour long reason to watch Jurassic Park instead. This film adds literally nothing to the world, it's fairly competent but there is not any way in which it isn't less good than the original; even the special effects were handled better 20 years ago (when they couldn't just do the entire film in CGI).

This is by no means an amazing movie, but it's better than I thought it would be. Jurassic World, while still failing to live up to the spirit of Jurassic Park, manages very well on its own as a standalone film and a solid Summer blockbuster. Directing isn't too bad. It certainly passes the time and is probably the second best Jurassic Park movie, if one wants to even consider it a Jurassic Park movie and not just a Jurassic World movie. You won't be missing much if you skip this.

Jurassic World is a tough rank, because while it has all the makings of a summer blockbuster, it fails to become a really good movie. While it does sport some awesome scenes and CGI, it suffers from an underdeveloped cast of actors who some (not Pratt) seem to be phoning in roles. Trevorrow's cinematography is alright, but altogether he makes a film that doesn't live up to what was given to us in the original entry.

What kind of crazy world is it where sequels and remakes take up such a large proportion of releases, and to add insult to injury, the remakes have more originality than the sequels? This is the same movie that came out in 1993, only now it's an idea that's been used three times over. Let's make another park with dinosaurs, great fuckin' idea. Oh, no, they busted out again! Who could have predicted such catastrophe? Anyone with a memory, that's who, you fuckin' idiots.

This was fine for a theater flick, and had a surprisingly anti-capitalist message (albeit, this also made massive bank for a massive company a la The Lego Movie). Best part: When Chris Pratt masks his scent from the corporate-made dinosaur product (Indominus rex) using a different corporate-made dinosaur product (gasoline).

A hot mess of a film which is the end result of too many writers in the writing room. There's a whole bunch of plot that goes nowhere and the only characterization is to build archetypes. So, really, the film is about the dinosaurs on screen, even as the film just barely tries to connect this with something larger (like the shadowy military cabal). Sometimes watching the dinosaurs is fun, but often, it's a boring experience. Chris Pratt has nothing to do, other than look handsome and strong.

I love the fact that Dr. Chinese played by B. D. Wong has been at InGen since at least '93, and probably 5-10 years before that (let's face it it making a dino takes time) ... and YET he is STILL surprised when the animals attack. Okay, not all the people in J.W. are dumb as fuck, but when the raptors and the big bad Designer Rex outfox you on several occasions it's not a good sign What is wrong with these people? When the alarm goes on at a park with actual dinos, YOU FUCKING RUN!

This summer's version of that recent GODZILLA remake: iconic, expensive monsters plopped into the lap of a director who doesn't know what the hell to do with them. Commercial-minded and completely unnecessary, and Trevorrow cannot competently handle the dinosaur action. No oomph here, no scares, and (until the last 15 minutes or so) no memorable set pieces to speak of. Lots of stiff performances, to boot. A soulless, halfhearted botch.

In the background, Jurassic World has an oddly self-aware commentary on its creative bankruptcy, blatant overuse of product placement, and desire to appeal to both nostalgic sci-fi lovers (Child A), and modern, disaffected teens (Child B). Consider the Indominus, a crowd-pleasing T. Rex / Raptor hybrid, sponsored by Verizon. Armed with a meta sense of fun, JW is actually an adequately enjoyable successor to the original. Plus now we can pretend that the other two sequels never happened.

I'm not intending to be a wet blanket, an outlier or a contrarian - I legitimately thought this film was hot garbage. The first movie, which this one tries so desperately to ape, was a success because of rich characterization, great performances, stellar effects and half-a-ton of dramatic tension. In JW, the characters and writing are paper-thin at best, the performances are stilted (and almost every role is miscast), the effects don't wow and the characters are never legitimately in harm's way.

Pretty damn dumb. The plot was mostly just a bunch of cliche crap. The dinosaurs were too CGI heavy. All attempts to make me nostalgic for the first one made me roll my eyes.

JW is a worthy and by far the best sequel to follow the beloved JP. It doesn't achieve the same sense of wonder and amazement that JP did, but as a lifelong fan I felt like a child again and I had a lot of fun. Colin Trevorrow adds plenty of nostalgic and fan pleasing touches, Chris Pratt is great and Bryce Dallas Howard grew on me. There are writing and characterization issues and I would have preferred more animatronics. But the flaws are forgivable and overall JW is thoroughly enjoyable.

It is a ludicrous blockbuster, but there was a satisfying thread of malice. Jurassic World made its monster well. It killed characters with speaking lines and the movie barely shrugs. The death toll would be shocking - but in the end JW seems to feel that so long as the people you don't care for die then everything is okay. Similar to Star Trek Beyond where a huge death toll is swept under the carpet - but JW let's us see that we as viewers too do this with hardly a flinch.

I was eight years old when I watched Jurassic Park about a 100 times in the cinema and loved the film more than almost anything. I wanted to become an archaeologist even. I knew all the dinosaurs their names by heart and the walls of my room were filled with dino wallpapers. I scored the highest possible score for my school project about dinosaurs and fossils. Jurassic World raped all of this. Fuck you Jurassic World, please die.

CGI simply isn't as immersive as the animatronics of the first film. For a few shots they add some good sound and slight camera shake to create a sense of mass, but most of the time the giant dinosaurs appear weightless, especially toward the end and during dino-on-dino fights. The writing is of course derivative, while the weak cast is made even weaker by the child actors. Really they should have just brought back the original cast from the first film; there's no comparison. Disappointing.

An unstructured mess; feels like the plot was improvised during filming. The "friendly dinosaurs" stuff is nonsense, while the bafflingly rushed "romance" becomes the lynchpin of the ending. Add the wildly inconsistent characterizations, the "cool" staging of what is supposed to be horrific violence, the lame humor, the general waste of good actors in lousy parts, and the PG-13 (and possibly sequel-) friendly strategy of shoving major character deaths off-screen, and you have a recipe for trash.

Incredibly 'Hollywood'-esque. The original films had this problem as well but at least those had a certain charm. Maybe it's because this film is so full of (unconvincing) CGI that it all feels so lifeless. Or maybe it's the bland writing and characters. Or both. The Indominus Rex is far less intimidating than the original T-Rex. The dinosaurs feel fake, the characters feel like actors and the film feels like a modern re-imagining of the original JP. Bad but somehow it's quite watchable.

If I'd known this was just a remake/reimagining of the original I wouldn't have bothered, being yet another criminally lazy rehash of a decades-old film that still looks much better in comparison. Things are tweaked but essentially it's the same movie, save for the fact it fails to be anywhere near as suspenseful or exciting, with much of the conversation scenes downright dull. If this is over 20 years of progress then cinema truly is dying. Talking of which, the 3D once again adds nothing.

Pretty damn fun. Basically everything that I want from this kind of movie. It homages while standing on its own as its own movie, and has lots of entertaining moments both action- and comedy-wise. It includes: Chris Pratt, velociraptors, Chris Pratt riding a motorcycle between four velociraptors, swerves, heel turns, babyface double-turns, and an ending sequence that is unadulterated movie-making fun. It's a tad cheesy, and it doesn't ask much performance-wise, but fan and non should take it in.

Very "safe" through playing the theme music at every opportunity/the last half hour being the movie version of a 4 year old smashing toy dinosaurs together. Really though it's impossible to recapture the awe of the original, on a meta level JW expresses this with hordes of margarita swilling tourists blocking your view of a T-Rex eating a goat. Side notes BDH is annoying, Pratt needed more Andy moments, the director must really hate his PA given the on screen version's fate.

I'm sure the anti-"bigger and better" thematic thread was more hypocritical than cleverly self-referential, but I appreciated it all the same (Owen has a great-and surprisingly lengthy-early back-and-forth with Hoskins: "Progress always wins" "Maybe progress should lose for once"), and so help me, despite some plot contrivances, I loved the bigger, darker dino-action (see the bird snatch) and the badass final bite. It's decently funny too (see Lowery and his failed aftermath-kiss attempt).

Jurassic World isn't bad as far as remix-reboots are concerned, and it's at least self aware, but a feeling of redundancy inevitably sets in that erases any potential enjoyment. Pratt and Howard are attractive but hollow as the two leads, and the script was seemingly assembled on the fly. The modern theme park concept held promise, but they did nothing with it, and Trevorrow's direction is surprisingly poor until the CGI laden dino fight finale, which is fine but it's too late to save it.

About as silly and underwritten a blockbuster imaginable, yet somehow despite that (and thanks to Pratt+BDH), Jurassic World is an enjoyable, well-paced action film. I give Trevorrow a lot of credit for somehow yanking on the right strings to make fun set pieces out of what is a spectacularly stupid screenplay. There's a fleeting hint of a great idea, the blockbuster-franchise-as-theme-park, which is never exploited and (along w/ woeful characterisation) deserved better writing. Rewatch = +2

The theme park actually felt like a theme park, bustling with queues of people and product placement, dingy staging areas in the background. Pratt was a likeable and capable lead, but the characterisation of pretty much everyone was a bit forced..."he's like this because....". It's all utterly ludicrous, of course; shocking health and safety procedures, trainable velociraptors and a smirking evil beardy. Still, it's good fun, even though we've seen it all before.

There are times when you can feel where the script was "punched up". At one point, the climax made sense within the movie's own world--it called back to a theme established earlier (mutual respect v. control). Then it instantly decided to elevate the action (twice) in ways that were totally incongruent with the story. Even for a franchise like this that is justifiably focused on spectacle, it really does a disservice when story is so obviously second fiddle.

Incompetently put together, with the worst writing and direction of any movie (period) in at least the last year. Joylessly dreadful and stupid. Did they take two disparate scripts, combine them in a blender, and just film whatever came out, and not question anything because they knew they'd make money regardless of the box office, because of all the product placement? It's not so bad it's good; it's so bad it's pitiful. Really, really pitiful.

Not nearly as bad as expected. There is quite a bit of fan service and fortunately it puts the original at the top of the food chain. Mercedes. Too much CGI in places though, and the gotta-show-all-the-dinos mentality hurts in the end. The kiss was poorly timed and romance arc lazy. The two kids did just enough to be tolerable, but they have none of the charm of Lex and Tim. Mercedes. Hearing the music with those views is almost worth it alone.

They can custom engineer their own dinosaurs but they can't afford working phones? Seriously, every time they tried to communicate with someone, it was static. This one adds an aquatic dinosaur, so if you thought any of the previous Jurassic Parks needed that then you'll like this one

Only after you see the credits and see 4 writers does it make sense why the writing is so convoluted. It's so absurd that they ask you to believe that the US would train raptors in order to hunt terrorists in the middle east. The only accurate writing was displaying the alpha/beta relationship and showing how poor of natural leaders women are. Really by the numbers and often quite boring and uninteresting. And as I said of Jurassic Park 3...how do you make dinosaurs boring?

To say this is the best Jurassic Park sequel is damning it with faint praise. It's the kind of movie I wouldn't turn off if I stumbled upon it on TV but wouldn't go out of my way to watch again. I would've liked more large-scale sequences that took advantage of the large crowds in the open park but we don't get much of it instead we get small groups running around the island, which we've seen before done better. Just keep watching the original, it's a classic for a reason.

Okay. All right. There will never be a Jurassic Park as good as the first, and Jurassic World transparently explains why, but World does the best it can with its impossible expectations. I've seen people deriding this film for its spectacle-over-substance quality, but that's all any sequel to Park can manage to be. All moral ruminations are explored by Park, and so each sequel, even Lost World, only has dino craziness as its main asset. It's smartly made where it can afford to be.

As formulaic as possible, it doesn't have characters as much as archetypes: the child stand-in's an adorable tow-head; the hero works on motorcycles to relax; the heroine needs to realize what's really important. All of this is strung together by a string of implausibilities. Still, the thrills pick up once some pterodactyls turn a babysitter into a ragdoll and the last 30 minutes of the film has the good sense to give us plenty of dino vs dino action and even turn the raptors into good guys.

The postmodern sequel. All pretense to sincerity abandoned, but better than JP3. JP1 is an auteur's parable for nature's ghost in the machine in revolt against scientific "progress;" here, the focus-grouped spectacular bio-as-machine (weapon) is in revolt. Tourists munch their popcorn like good spectators while shopping at Brookstone, only to be torn to shreds by airborne genetic monsters, while hipsters ironically save the day. But does it give us warmth? Nope, just cynical simulacra.

My first thought is nope, there isn't really much new in this film and sure enough that is the case. It's noisy and a lot of people get eaten by dinosaurs but that's about it. I'd pass and go see something else with lots of noise and sand instead.

A nostalgia factory at best, and a mediocre summer blockbuster at its worst. Still, there were enough dino fights to entertain and the Alpha-Male-that-is-Chris-Pratt is comical...even when he isn't meant to be. Comparisons to the original, while inevitable, are pointless. You will never have the same experience as watching JP in 1993.

An uninteresting plot filled with dumb stereotypical characters is countered with really fun action set-pieces. It's nowhere near the quality of the first film, but it's better than the previous sequels. It works as a big dumb popcorn movie. It takes awhile for the dull story to get into motion but once the action kicked in I found myself having a really good time.

Hollywood blockbuster that plays it incredibly safe, eschewing any genuine artistry or originality for a by-the-numbers, passably mediocre kinda-dumb action flick reliant on nostalgia, who's best praise is that it wasn't as terrible as the other two Jurassic Park sequels. I watched it once and have been given no reason to want to watch this or any of its upcoming sequels again, especially wile the masterpiece original Jurassic Park exists. -2 pts for the egregious level of product placement.

Jurassic World has got to be the most spectacular Mercedes ad ever, full of action and glamorous lens flare shots. But its story & characters are underwhelming; even the naturally witty Chris Pratt seems pale in this soulless, superficial, ill-conceived clusterstomp. Plotholes are GAPING everywhere. It's basically a movie about a bunch of bumbling, conniving idiots mismanaging the most dangerous theme park on earth. I wouldn't entrust those guys with running a popsicle stand. Not with my money!

A smorgasbord of narrative stereotypes and unrelenting safe violence that seems driven more by some kind of untapped social ennui than any real purpose. Maybe it's the caffeinated culture it describes, but we simply take it as an assumed that these characters matter, and we should care about their adventure, without making any true investment their direction. There was a lot of aw shucks but no awe. Depressing.

I agree with others that Jurassic World is a hysterical caricature of a blockbuster, indulging itself with scenes of surprising violence (the death of one secondary character) and fan service both ridiculous (the motorcycle scene) and/or interminable (the raptor-and-rex-teamwork conclusion). I suppose I get the impulse behind not taking this whole thing seriously, but then what's the point? It's just another summer blockbuster, only more so and with more than a hint of self-loathing.

A remarkably soulless and plodding attempt at a thrillride, filled with cookie-cutter characters and motivations, and action scenes without any sense of danger or intrigue. So, in that regard, I guess it's the exact opposite of Jurassic Park. Has a couple of good scenes (The pterodactyls dropping out of the sky and pulling people into the air is the one setpiece that worked for me) and hey, Lauren Lapkus is in it. She's great. The "ironic capitalism" thing made me want to vomit.

Manages to make dinosaur chaos somehow insipid, and does so with a mean streak and self-loathing cynicism that makes it uncomfortable to watch for all the wrong reasons. There are some fun performances in spite of the poor dialogue and few chances anyone gets to establish any sense of multi-faceted character, but ultimately I just felt sorry to see so many good people in such a so-so movie. Even taken as nothing more than a dino-fest it isn't hugely memorable.

The script is dumb, but the oafish yet cunning menace of Vincent D"Onofrio kept my interest, and I was delighted when (not really a "spoiler") he was chomped to death by a raptor. The art direction is excellent, and made me believe it was a real theme park (I think I could map it right now, by myself!) Otherwise, not much. The finale is so frenetic and over the top that I started to yawn. The suspenseful attack of the raptors at the end of "Jurassic Park" was a much more effective conclusion.

There's excellent casting choices here with kid actor #1 and #2 who seem to exemplify everything nostalgic about 80's and 90's films without memorable features. You get child actors that remind you of Goonies or the Feldmans without witty lines or star power for us to recall them. ingenius. This is repackaging nostalgia. It's revisitation of another contemporary film. When Ho-wood is retreading SFX laden blockbusters from only 20 something years ago the well is as dry as a nun's honey pot.

The way it embraces many of the original's beloved elements -- gate, Jeep, fences design, sound effects and even its (now) antique publicity -- is a true bliss. But JW's ambition to show more teeth ends up biting some cold meat. The film never finds its inner voice and has to look back for Spielberg's PG-13 sollutions, like blood splatter against glasses and trees, or even embrace some Transformers/Pacific Rim/Godzilla reboot-like sense of spectacle.

Some really good computer graphics and special effects but also much was substandard. The ridiculous plot ruins it. Reptiles surviving being shot and raptors for warfare was nonsense. Nothing made sense. They successfully destroyed the sense of immersion and wonder. Tedious dialog and acting esp. from Chris Pratt. Unsatisfying & unbelievable. A waste of a franchise with huge potential. Abysmal writing and atrocious editing. Perhaps 20 minutes of great stuff, but the rest is garbage!

Flawed? Sure. The characters are a bit thin and the plot takes a while to get interesting, but the film pushes the unique Jurassic Park concept forward in ways the other two sequels really didn't. And in a time when plenty of sequels fall victim to blatant, distracting nostalgiurbation, it's relatively tasteful in its homages to the original.

Deja vu. I can't really take the raptor army seriously enough to fully get into the movie, but at least there's no victory by gymnastics. It's fine for the most part, but never touches the greatness of the first one. Nice to see Christ Pratt's audition tape for Indiana Jones, though.

Jurassic World is loud and dumb, but I'll be darned if I didn't enjoy every minute. I can look past the plot issues involving children and their magic fannypack or cliche ridden plots if the movie has fun with what it is delivering, and JW sure does. There's also an argument to be had for the Indominus Rex as a metaphor for "reboots." It's a few new elements, a few old. And in the end, it's taken down mostly by nostalgia.
