Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - Early Review Roundup

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - Early Review Roundup



Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will hit theaters in a couple weeks, but the review embargo has lifted. What are critics saying about the upcoming sequel in the beloved franchise?

Another Summer Movie

No matter what critics are saying about the film, the general consensus seems to be that this is another "summer movie". There is action, jokes, a strong lead, scares, laughs, and the like that we have come to expect (and love?) about summer films. 

Better than the First?

And while many aren't hailing this as the savior to the Jurassic Park/World franchise, many people are saying that this is better than the original. They praise JA Bayona's direction over Coiln Trevorrow, and say that this is definitely a step up (for the most part) over the first film. 

Genuine Scares

One thing that stands out for many people are the scares. While the first Jurassic World had a couple of little jump scares, this new entry in the Jurassic World film has genuinely scary scenes that has a level of tension that was lacking in the first film. It hearkens back to the scariness of the dinosaurs of the original Jurassic World

Lots of Dinosaurs

There are lots, and lots, and lots, of dinosaurs as we sew in the trailers, and yes, critics are confirming, there are lots of dinosaur action and fun to be had with the film. 

Boring or Fast Paced?

A couple of reviewers have expressed differing opinions about the film's pacing. A couple of reviewers have said that this is one of the most boring films of both the Jurassic Park franchise as well as of the summer. However, a couple other critics praise the film's fast-paced, exciting, tense storyline. The jury is still out.

Overall?

Overall, the main consensus seems to be that the film is a fun action-ride that you can sit with your friends and eat popcorn with, enjoying a few scares, a few laughs, same old Chris Pratt, and a lot of dinosaurs. Overall? Not bad, we hope.
