I dunno, just the way it was done.
When I watch the first two Jurassic Park films, I feel like I'm watching real animals. Even when the T-rex is running around San Diego in The Lost World, I still get the impression it's just an animal that's been thrown into a situation it doesn't know how to handle (not to mention the fact it's hyped up on stimulants at the time).
In the newest film, the dinosaurs don't come across as real animals any more (at least, not by the end of the movie). It was just the little things. Like how the dinosaur fights have now deteriorated to long, drawn-out monster movie beatdowns where they keep throwing each other through stuff like its a Godzilla film. Or when whatsherface opens the T-rex pen, and it's just stood right there, as if it's been waiting patiently all along for its chance to get into the brawl. And all the cheesy glory shots of the dinosaurs looking good for the camera. It was all just kinda daft.
That's why I personally didn't like it all that much.
Oh, and the characters also sucked. The first two had some really memorable characters in them. Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Bob Peck and Pete Postlethwaite were all awesome in their roles and I remember them all fondly. In the new film I already struggle to remember who anyone was.
I see your point but I tend to agree with others here as well. The behavior of the animal is completely dictated by the type of environment it is used to. You see crocs do the same thing with their handlers at crocodile parks. They have the ability to attack the handlers but don't because they recognize a gesture as a sign of food.
Also if animals are subjected to being around people for a majority of their life they tend to get rather lathargic. I mean that in the sense of wild animals in captivity losing their aggressiveness. If you go to a zoo nowadays you don't see the Lions or rhinos or tigers charging the tourists. Even the snake exhibits. Cobras and mambas are highly aggressive species and yet in the zoos you barely get one to hood or acknowledge you.
I know it's hard to stomach but remember these dinosaurs have been in this park being subjected to thousands of visitors a day everyday for 22 years. It's entirely possible they have grown complacent or lathargic due to them having no need for aggression. They are fed daily (probably many times a day), they are kept separated so there is no territorial disputes, they're all female no mating disputes, and again they have been subjected to this for their entire life. And of course the indominus was secluded and had very little interaction at all so the aggression factor was definitely there.
I may not agree with the direction he chose to go. But I could see it as an accurate representation of how the animals would act in that situation.
