You really, really didn't miss much. I was hopeful because I like JA Bayona's work, but you just can't escape the stench of a script written by Colin Trevorrow.
Which is why I had zero interest in it.JW2 is not at all a good JP movie, but it is a good action/monster movie
Crichton became an insane climate change denier who responded to a book critic's takedown of one of his books by writing him into a book as a pedophile, so I don't really think we need to care about him in his grave.
Jurassic World is an obvious self-parody of franchise filmmaking aiming for bigger and louder thrills at the expense of any common sense. Did you not see the scene where Jake Johnson talked about how "legit" the "first park" was? Did you really think Vincent D'Onofrio's character and his militarized raptor plans were meant to be taken at all seriously?
Reasonable people can disagree over whether Jurassic World got away with both satirizing runaway franchise ridiculousness while simultaneously being a prime example of the same, but it in no way had any pretensions of being "high brow cinema."
...this I did not know. D:
Those possibilities had already been there for years. According to the books, they should have been there before the original story even took place, but even in the movies they were already referenced in JP2 and 3. JW should've started with that development already fully in place rather than taking two full movies to badly ape JP1 and 2 in order to 'set the story up'.

At best, it was unintentionally funny, not good.
Like what? It's a movie about dinosaurs as giant monsters...
You are absolutely right - I used a very wrong term. What I was trying to say is that the first had SOMETHING behind it other than the dino carnage - namely the intentionally over the top franchise shenanigans. The second one was just your traditional monster thriller - even featuring evil Russians.
Not until people demonstrate a willingness to buy it.
I'll have to say that the giant leap in effects and the extremely high production values and cinematography is what actually made it both exciting and interesting. And the awe and wonder of seeing dinosaurs on the big screen, with brilliant music adding to those feelings.
Why people are STILL coming back for worse versions of the same thing? I can't answer that.
Yep. That was a major disappointment for me.
Better be really beefy roles they get in this one.
Well, I have been advocating for a Before Sunrise-type romance that just happens to be set at Jurassic World for years...
Gonna ask for a source, here. Goldblum himself said that he only wanted to do a brief gig.
Ian our in residence future paleontologist and huge Jurassic Park/World fan literally jumped up and down when I told him the news last night. Alan Grant is his favorite character, even thought he was named after Ian Malcolm.
Maybe show Dinosaurs with feathers?
