None of this is true.

Screened this in Dolby Cinema and it looked, sounded, and thanks to the transducers, felt spectacular.

A big Bayona fan, A Monster Calls was a top 10 2016 film for me, his talent shines in spite of the constrictions of a franchise, i.e., the ending. The visual and production design alone is worth the price of a ticket.

Although the story could have taken a few more risks and used a bit more polish as far as narrative continuity, overall I thought this was the best Jurassic film since the first.

They should have called the movie Jurassic Auction...

It’s called being subjective. Learn what it means.

How’s that glass house? The film sucked in Sarah’s opinion. Sorry you disagree.

So who are the suckers? The ones enjoying what they paid for, or the ones spending hours, days or weeks trashing it for free?

In other words, just quit complaining and like everything. Gotcha!

i like jurrasic world fallen kingdom as much as i like the transformers movies. but i can also clearly see the unlogical decisions made in this movie.

same as i can understand why girls like the twilight movies. that does however not mean the movie is incredible from a logical standpoint of view.

fact is jurrasic world fallen kingdom has a terrible script and the decisions made in the movie are terrible. there is no way around that. for me the worst part, is the girl pressing that red button. that made no sense at all. sacrifice everybody on the planet because saving a few dinosaurs lol. nobody in his right mind would ever do that. however universal want to make more $$$ i mean more jurrasic park movies and they come up with an incredible stupid twist.

so excitment wise ( great special effects ) this movie scores 5 stars. however storywise the movie deserves a big fat 0. therefor the overal score of the movie can never be 5 stars. that is just being unlogical. or are you a liar?

People like this is why the forums aren't any fun anymore.

Yeah, interesting...

I think opening internationally didn't do Universal any favors. Online chatter suggests that the movie is not good, however, the average Joe seems to enjoy it a lot (hence the A- Cinemascore).

If anything will power this movie it will be the people who are not tuned into social media... Which is expected considering Social Media peeps are so pessimistic about everything that doesn't involve Marvel.

You mean those weren't real dinosaurs?

Who cares? Why should those numbers mean anything?

Where did I say that? But it would be nice if haters said their piece and moved on instead of haunting the forums for days or weeks saying every day how much they hated it again.

All I see are people who disagree with you. They have given out reasons on why and they want to be seen. It’s ok to like or dislike it. Just don’t be a d*** about it.

I have no problem with disagreeing. I have problems with hating.

And not liking a movie equals hating? They may have some strong words about their opinions but I don’t see that as hating. That word has lost so much meaning these days.

You keep putting words in my mouth. Moving on.

Yes I wrote that for fun, because I wasn't disappointed in the theater. It's called opinion.

I honestly felt the same way. I felt it was much more grounded within the world of the story than last time, and was less cheesy. Maybe you could say the events were more cheesy, but they were passed off as more believable this time around. I agree that it's my favorite film since the original!

Ratings time.

I liked Jurassic World 1 for what it was, not a masterpiece, but a fun popcorn flick.

Fallen Kingdom...wasn't fun. There was no awe or wonder or spark. A few interesting set pieces, and a solid musical score, but I definitely checked my watch a few times.

It's nowhere near as painfully bad as Independence Day 2 (every copy of that should be burned) but I'm in no rush to watch this again.

I never said you wrote that. I just think you’re using that word in the wrong context. Calling a film terrible isn’t “hating”.

What is fun anymore? One liners? That's a serious question, because it seems people can't have a good time at the movies anymore unless their movies bounce from one punchline to the next.

I agree with this.

I saw it in 3D as well. It was a good 3D film.
