I love the idea of this movie it feels like the sequel we never got but it's the execution. Personally I was disappointed with the fully CGI dinosaurs and I am not convinced they needed to invent a new dinosaur.

That being said, compared to modern blockbusters it ticks all tbe boxes and is largely entertaining when the dinosaurs are on screen.

The cast is likeable for the most part. Bryce Dallas Howard in particular ascends to star quality and gives a believable performance.

Any Jurassic Park/World movie will always be compared to Spielberg's original. Is this one better? No But it doesn't need to be. It's an entertaining movie and does feel like a natural progression for the Jurassic Park franchise.

3/5 stars.

Following on from Spielberg's Dino conservation and corporate boardrooms comes this standard "look! DINOSAURS run! Movie.

There is a lot of fun to be had here with tbe early Dinosaur fights but, sadly the fim loses momentum and peters out for the last 30 minutes or so.

The cast is very generic in this one and largely forgettable. You want them to get eaten!

Seeing Sam Neil at first is a welcome return but its sadly wasted. Laura Dern has an insulting cameo that angers the fan in me.

Overall its a fun dinosaur movie but, a average entry in the Jurassic Park franchise.

2.5/5 stars.

The cast from tbe original not returning (or being more involved) stalled this movie. It is a movie that sadly just feels like a let down after the original.

Jeff Goldblum is promoted to lead star and he's excellent and Spielberg returned but it seems his heart was not in this sequel.

Overall the film is good not great.

The film feels like 2 films mashed together. There are a lot of great ideas in this movie and most of the action involving the dinosaurs is still great.

I would certainly reccomend it but, it falls short of that high bar of the original.

3/5 stars.
