This was even worse than the last one. Totally unrealistic in every way imaginable, even for a movie about dinosaurs roaming the earth today.

Slow, disjointed, with injuries that appear and disappear from scene to scene (a broken leg). Absolutely no storyline whatsoever. The dinosaurs looked weird and seemed to have superhuman power. Don't waste your time watching this.

Another annoying aspect of the movie was the melodramatic facial expressions and zooming in on the drama. Characters were cliche and just unlikeable. I mean the only positive quality about that movie was the scenery. No 👎🏼👎🏼 thanks.

This movie was totally incredible in the genre and market it aims for. The acting from Mel is just top notch. The characters are loveable and hate-able (as intended). It reminded me of a much more suspenseful Goonies at times.

This wasn't boring at all either. The plot was really clear and just delivered in a way that was reminiscent of 80's or 90's movies. I will watch this again in the future and will recommend to others.

I laughed, chuckled at some of the comedic references. I couldn't help but to think of subliminal messaging about the need for protecting today's children from "monsters." The movie was well made and will definitely get organic acclaim for years to come. I am not saying that it is an impactful masterpiece, but it is just a solid movie that could easily become someone's favorite.

I would love a sequel to this.

I am not a superhero fan, my wife is. When I went to the first Joker movie I was absolutely floored by how impactful it was. It was truly a masterpiece. Fast forward a few years and we get this self-indulgent overuse of what worked in sprinkles in part 1.

What I mean was that the scenes when the Joker was dancing and flailing were like 5 times too many in part 2. It was basically like beating a cinematic success to death. Lady Gaga and her botoxed glow and duck lips also kind of seemed a bit misplaced. There were times when Gaga and Phoenix had in screen chemistry, but they were so over presented to the audience.

One can only hope for a part 3 that redeems itself, but judging on past history of the majority of sequential films, the chances are low of that happening.

The cinematography, music (song selections) and lighting was stunning and effective, but the script just seemed disjointed and hollow. The entire film takes place in institutions. We want a Joker that is roaming free amongst society. This story robbed us of that.
