Whey Jay began his sentence with “You’re all invited to my birthday bash” for a second i genuinely thought he was inviting us, the listeners, to it…. oh well….
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom just lost the magic of the franchise. The franchise continues to give no real and captivating reason as to why anyone would go back to this island after the events of Jurassic Park, they build-up of the little girl took us nowhere, and this franchise is just off the rails.
I like to sit forward in my seat. And I seriously doubt that I’m bothering anybody…. But I’ll pay special attention just to make sure.
With expectations on very low, I had a lot of fun with JW2. The first half was outstanding in terms of cool shots and dino action and thrills, and though most of the characters are forgettably typical, their dialogue is pretty decent. The premise of the second half is dumb dumb dumb, but once I let out a groan or two and let myself just go with it, that was kinda fun, too. I think this one, more than any of the other sequels, embraces its pulpy nature. I wouldn’t say it’s a great movie, but the director seemed to know better with this one as far as making it work for what it is. 7.5/10
Tag is also really fun. Every time Jeremy Renner shows up it jumps up a notch. 7 when Renner’s not involved, 9 when he is = 8/10
Jurassic world fallen kingdom is quite frightening when compared to its previous version and will have a sequel to this version as well. Watching this movie will definitely shoot your adrenaline.
