What I'm saying is, for a movie that has made so much money, been such a smash, most of the reviews are pretty poor. If a movie does this well then generally the reviews are very good from everyone (Avengers).
I get that its fun but the negative points seem to far outweigh that...from what I'm gathering.
I don't know how many and which reviews you have been reading but most are varying from average to really positive rather then negative to average at best.
I think that, even if you'd watch the movie at this point, you kinda spoiled it for yourself by being so negative towards it, it will most likely cloud your whole experience of it while watching.
I personally thought the movie was great, especially as a hardcore JP fan, I remember seeing it in theaters in '93 as a 5 year old and to see a great sequel with so many homages to JP and being set on the 1st Island just got me psyched throughout, I thought it was great, the thing I think really set's its apart from JP is that there was little room for good character development due to there being (maybe) too much action sequences going on. JP had it perfectly balanced back then, there was a good build up to action sequences but between those there was allot of character development, which this sequel seemed to be missing, aside of a few moments, I really liked Claire and Owen, the children didn't bother me at all btw (which I expected they would, so) and Masrani was also a great newcomer, the return of Wu was great, I didn't expect him to have a
little "dark streak'
Personally I could have also done without allot of the comic relief (which seems to be a thing in allot of movies/reboots/sequels these days ....) JP and TLW also managed perfectly well without it and I personally feel that comic relief mostly takes away allot of the flair a movie has rather then adding something to it.
Aside of that, this was my movie of the year and I have been looking forward to this ever since JP3 and I had been looking forward ever since JP 1 what happened to lots of stuff on the first Isla Nublar, I think it's great that they gave us a view of what happened, especially the visitor's centre and the T-rex.
Spoiler
the T-rex vs the I-rex might be over the top but I was having a raging blast at that point in cinema and came totally unexpected to me, I was fearing that, besides the little appearance in the beginning, we wouldn't see the rex anymore, and BOOM there she was, I was pumped with adrenaline the moment I heard her famous roar. I could almost cry when she came on. The T rex looked a little different, yes, but since she's 20 years older it's not so far fetched, she had the scars and colors but as far as the CGI making it look different, I thought it were the eyes that they made too yellow and too big compaired to the first movie. Anyways, I couldn't have wished for more considering the Rex saved the day. And the roar at the final scene was quite grand to me, but that's the fanboy speaking. I would have preferred if the Rex killed the Irex rather then the Mosasaur though, but had a blast nontheless
My personal rating)
Jurassic Park 10/10 (what's there not to like?)
The Lost world: 8/10
Jurassic Park 3 6/10
Jurassic World 8/10
I feel JW and TWL are on par, I always really enjoyed TWL, I never understood the hate for it.
