No need to get analytical about it. It's not a good film. It's competently directed but the script is awful.

Sorry I'm not all up on its jock.

They're more mocking you for not explaining anything about why you didn't like it, not just the fact you didn't like it. On a discussion forum a post like "man this sucked" with no reason, context or debate is pretty useless. For an example of what people are looking for:

"Man, this movie has serious tonal shifts that really annoy me. It's serious, then a comedy, then super cheesy, then deadly serious, then super SUPER cheesy. Also way too much fake-looking CGI."

There ya go! Easy-peasy!

Yeah a simple explanation as to why it sucks helps.

I don't think it sucks but still explained I thought it was horribly dull and uninvolving because it's so derivative and completely redundant of the original movie.

I think this is better as the kids weren't as annoying.

Not sure if this has been addressed yet - but the Raptors sure ran like dogs in Jurassic World. Can't recall if they ran or were seen clearly running in the other 3 films but i really noticed it when viewing the movie at home. Overall, i think it's a really fun movie too. Maybe not a great film, but there were a ton of ways to screw this movie up & they never did it. Fun, alot of action and suspense mixed with a little comedy & sentimentality; just like parts 1 & 2.

I cut out foam and put them in the cardboard "sleeves" for all 4 films.
That way, they won't get damaged from the weight of the tins throughout the years.

Yeah true, the Jurassic World kids weren't nearly as annoying as the Jurassic Park kids but I still never cared about them.

Why do these movies have to have kids in them anyways? Even as a kid myself I couldn't relate to kids in movies and never wanted them in there. I wanted to see the adults do all the fightin' and punchin' and the kids (and their mamas) can stay home.

It also has far more problems with the script and doesn't have the pacing that made JP what it is.

This. Nothing wrong with liking it, but the script was clearly rushed and makes little sense. If you can overlook the flaws then great, but it does have issues in this area.

I don't mind kids being in the movies...
I do mind, however, kids always surviving in the movies...
It is very unrealistic...
I wanna see the kids being eaten...

I haven't really disliked the kids in any of these movies, but I agree we don't always need them to be there. It feels kinda forced sometimes.

We got our first female death in Jurassic World, maybe a kid can die in the next one?

I remember when I played video games and 99% of RPGs and such didn't let you hurt the kids, but one did (Deus Ex: Invisible War) and no one really cared. I think it's a largely manufactured fear.

Anyway, some people always seem to hate child actors but I have honestly never really been bothered by them. Same with foreign accents, some seem so sensitive to them not being just right but I never even notice.

I don't hate child actors. One I like is Danielle Harris in the Halloween movies. I just don't care for most of them because they usually can't act for shit and most of the time don't even need to be there.

There's a Skyrim mod where you can kill the shit out of kids. Movies need mods damn it!

Most adults, especially parents, hate seeing kids getting killed in movies.
