I liked it. Somewhere in quality between the first two. Pratt had some really bad lines in it and was pretty badly misused but the dino effects were great. They went back to the well with animitronics used as much as possible. Didn't feel like a cgi green screen disaster. Could have used a lot of work on the human characters, but again the dinosaur effects make up for it.
I'll take my 8 year old if he wants to see it, but its pretty dark. Has to be highest kill count of a JP movie.

didn't like it. if Jurassic Park is a 9/10, I'd say this one is 5/10.

Would the movie have been made better, worse, or impossible-to-say-because-it's-a-dinosaur-movie-so-all-criticism-is-pointless if the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park could talk and/or ride skateboards?

It all goes back to my Transformers theory.
In this case, you have people saying they can't get behind a dinosaur trainer being able to train dinosaurs. Forget the part that humans have brought back dinosaurs, and even created new ones. Totally OK with humans becoming gods. But I draw the line at these gods being able to train animals.
Manufacturing a new species = Totally cool with.
Training animals = Ridiculous.

I'm only going off the commercials but he didn't train them to do tricks. He was going on actual hunts with them out in the wild so yeah its different IMO.
I was thinking the same thing. What's the difference with lion/tiger trainers or Shamu? We've seen the premise that Raptors are smart from the first movie (which no one is complainng about) so why couldn't a trainer be plausible? Seems modern day is closer to that reality than creating a new dinosaur.

So disappointed. Pretty good Dino action movie as long as there's no humans on the screen. I thought the premise was cool, Star Lord playing Dino whisperer, but someone butchered the crap out of the screen play and the script. Terrible acting,terrible stupid sheep people, plot holes the size of brontasouras(sp) turds. Shoulda been named Jurassic Hurled. The Dino action was very cool and there was plenty of it, but the people were so bad it was distracting. I agree with someone who said this ain't for the little ones. JP1 was intense, but not graphic. But I haven't heard this much crunching since the last time I had a bowl of Captain Crunch.

He wasn't given much to do and didn't tap into his comedic timing at all. He only has about 20 terribly written lines in it. He comes across just a little more open minded as the dinosaur warden in JP1.

It is converted, not filmed in 3d, so if you are susceptical to headaches go to the 2d version.71 on Rotten Tomatoes
good enough for me !!
The real question is whether I should give myself a headache and go the 3d route.
I went to the 3d version and it started to bother me by the end of the run time. There were 3 scenes that the 3d really accentuated that I can think of, thats about it.

Saw it tonight. Was good. I would recommend for anyone who is able to enjoy a dino movie with just a little cheesiness.
First one better, but thats to be expected.

Re: CG vs. practical effects, here's a quote from director Colin Trevorrow:
"We did use animatronics where we could and where it made the most sense. It still is a movie where most of the dinosaurs are CG animated one way or another even when they're motion capture there's still obviously a CG element. I feel like 'CG' has almost become a derogatory term. I try to point out that the people who do this, the men and women who make these animals, are some of the best animators in the world. It is a craft, and it is an art. What you are seeing here is the best animators in the world doing their work at the highest possible level. At ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) we've got the A Team on this movie because everybody who was there was inspired to be there because of Jurassic Park when they were kids. They wanted to be on this film. You're seeing a movie with visual effects that were executed with great care and a tremendous amount of time, research and passion...I think that we appreciate CG when it's done well...in these circumstances, I think the work that was done on this film is going to be well received and well regarded."
Someone gets it.

I just can't get on board with this. Could very well be my age, but there have been a few "summer blockbuster" movies I have seen in the theaters that have elevated what that term can mean. Movies like the original Jurassic Park, the first couple Terminator movies, Aliens, and others. I think it is too reductive just to say "it's a _________ movie, what do you expect". T2 is a movie about a couple cyborgs fighting each other. For me when you put a franchise name on it, it ramps up the expectations a bit and the disappointment/criticisms as well.
If it was a lone movie about a island of dinosaurs, that is one thing. I think when you put the name Jurassic Park on it, people still have mild hope that the people making the movie care about it as much as they do, and it isn't just a scenario where we haven't had one for a few years, people might have forgotten about part 3, and we can cross promote the #### of it and make a ton of cash. I guess I expect that if you have 14 years to think of a decent plot and improve on the look of the movie, it should try to do just that.

I haven't seen it yet but I am huge fan of the first one and part 3 (part 2 simply didn't exist), My 15 year old daughter came home and thought it was pretty great. Man, I love her because she has way too much of me making up her DNA, because she came home and said, "Man, I hate little kids. Why do you bring a baby to opening night of this movie--which is loud--really loud, and then get mad because the baby cries?"I just can't get on board with this.

I can't wait to see this (I am 45 btw), I am tired of movie snobbery. I sat thru a ton of turds growing up watching Saturday afternoon movies. I also caught some gems in the theater Star Wars, Jaws, ET, etc.
What I hate is all these people that rip apart every movie. I drop my money down at a theater to be entertained and escape from reality for a while. I don't do it often because I have a very nice home set up, but some movies beg to be seen on the big screen and this is one of them.
I know I am getting a lead in with character development (I don't care), some shots of really cool dinosaurs doing cool stuff, then we meet the bad guy somewhere along the lines, bad things happen, people in peril, some deaths and jump scenes, HURRAH we live, roll credits. That's all I want. I don't care if this plot is unbelievable/incomplete because I am WATCHING A MOVIE ABOUT DINOSAURS!!!

I don't understand why "this is one of those movies that demands to be seen on the big screen".
The original Jurassic Park sure was. It was ahead of its time from a "big" standpoint. Nothing else out in theaters compared.
This is not. The "bigness" and effects here are no better than any other half dozen summer blockbuster action movies that come out every year. In fact, I would say they're worse. The CGI looks terrible in the trailers.

I just think there is a point that if you go to McDonalds, you can't expect a 5-star meal. This movie is a summer blockbuster. Any of us that love films know what that means. Light on plot and lots of loud noises.
That's my expectation in this one.
I watch a ton of movies, I have a very nice home setup and frankly would rather watch stuff at home than in theaters. However, this is a movie that I think will play nice on IMAX vs my Sony 4K. That is my opinion. It doesn't make anyone else wrong, that is simply my thoughts.
