Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom was so boring!

First of all, I’m a huge fan of the original Jurassic Park. What’s more, I even thoroughly enjoyed the first Jurassic World. However, Fallen Kingdom is utter garbage. The whole plot is some rich guy trying to sell dinosaurs. This could have been called Mission Impossible: Dinosaurs, or 007: Dinosaurs Live Another Day. You’ve got Chris Pratt running around playing James Bond the whole movie. If I wanted to see a Bond movie, I’d watch Daniel Craig.

It was incredibly tedious. I couldn't wait for it to end! And when did the Chris Pratt character become a martial artist, able to beat up multiple mercenaries? Crap.

Hey, he's Star Lord, son of a living breathing motherfucking PLANET!!!

It's only logical that he can beat up multiple mercenaries.

Agreed.

I had high hopes for it and was really getting into all the viral marketing, but the film definitely failed to deliver. I was hoping that it would be better than Jurassic World, which I enjoyed but didn't totally love. It isn't even half the film that JW is though.

I enjoy the franchise as a whole, and I do think that JW did a pretty good job of reinvigorating it, but the next film really is going to have to be much better. The only problem there is that dinos on the mainland is just not an idea that's ever really excited me.

For me it was the other way around, Jurassic World failed to deliver for me, but Fallen Kingdom was more entertaining, i think it maybe was because of the addition of the horror movie scenes they added, while JW was just a giant "run away from the dinosaurs", in FK it was "grab the dinosaurs, save the dinosaurs, run away from the giant killing machine dinosaur".

I've seen a few people say that. I think that if the horror elements of the series are what you're really wanting, then Fallen Kingdom can work for you.

But for me, I want the horror elements to be balanced out by the science and the sense of wonder that, for me, still comes from seeing dinos on screen if they're presented within the right context. The first film did a great job of this and that's a big reason why that film is such a classic, in my opinion.

This movie was quite slow and boring. That said, I really enjoyed it. But I definitely kept looking to see how much time was left. This is basically people running from dinosaurs for two hours. The action was tense, the villains were mustache twirling, it was sad and depressing. Certainly no worse than the 3rd movie.

I would give the 1st world 2015 an 8
This one a 6 out of 10.
as its not really set on the island after it blows up.

I thought I was the only one who thought this was boring, and this is coming from a HUGE Jurassic Park fan. I enjoyed the first JW, but this one fell short.

I predicted that. The first one was excellent, but they've gone downhill ever since.

Yeah this movie bored me to death. The plot and pace was horrendous.
