“Like a lot of others are saying the first part of the film, where they are escaping from the island is great and quite exciting and sets the film up pretty well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever once the major action scene is over and they have to focus on the main story things start to go downhill. I think what bothers me the most is that a lot of the writing is just lazy and not well thought through or truely creative. Instead we get more of the same themes from the original JP films plus some more from JW. (Mutant dinosaur + evil corporate guys)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll of the main characters stories are pretty unbelievable and there isnu0026#39;t enough investment in developing their individual personalities / backstory so we understand why they behave the way they do. Sometimes I feel like the major action scenes were thought up first and then the story was just sort of inserted between them as a glue so we have a way of getting from one action scene to the next.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you go and see this film you will probably enjoy it and it will most certainly entertain you for a while but after the moment has passed I am not left with the sense that I have seen something truely groundbreaking. Unfortunately I canu0026#39;t help but compare it to the original Jurassic park film and consider how it doesnu0026#39;t even come close to the terrifying moments of suspence and the brilliant portrayal of the different characters we got in JP1.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGiven that there are so many 9+ reviews on here maybe i am in the minority but I just feel like we are letting Hollywood get away with lazy writing, which contains numerous plot holes just so we can marvel at some cool CGI. We really shouldu0026#39;nt be satisfied with this state of affairs. We should all be demanding better, more creative writing that continues to offer us something new and exciting. This will only happen if we stop rating these mediocre generic blockbuster films so highly. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWas it was entertaining? yes without a doubt, but this is nowhere near a 9/10 film and you all know it. When rating these films please be honest with yourselves and send Hollywood a message. Donu0026#39;t let them think that lazy writing is ok. We arenu0026#39;t idiots and we do value a well written and interesting story.”
