A sequel that just didn't need to be made.

It's just a popcorn flick designed for an hour and a half of mindless entertainment.
pathetic, almost non existent storyline. you dont care who dies because there's no character development, Eric lasting eight weeks all by himself? give me a break....
The raptors look stupid, the kirby's are the most annoying parents in the history of film. The only thing that helps me give this movie a 3 out of ten is the fact that Sam Neill is in it.

Yeah, I gave it a 3/10 too.

Yeah I couldn't help but feel Jurassic World is the only worthy sequel as it's the only real direct sequel to the first. The Lost World is made out to be a direct sequel but I couldn't help but feel it's more of a spinoff than what it is a sequel

The Lost World has its own set of problems (forced environmentalist messages, comedic one-liners that fall flat, the "good" guys are actually responsible for almost every death on the film etc), but it's still miles better than JP3.

JP3 is actually one of the most annoying, needless and disappointing sequels ever filmed.

Jurassic World is better than both TLW and JP3 imo, but I still gave it a 7/10, because it has problems too.

Ultimately, nothing can reach the original movie which will always be considered a classic.

Ayup. I too enjoyed it for what it was.

Pretty much. Look up the definition of "pointless sequel" and JP3 is referenced. Even the Transformers sequels feel more justified in existing. At least they add crap to their mythology. JP3 fails in every single aspect. It can't even fabricate a believable way to get Grant back to the island.
