It is kind of lame, but this is the movie we deserve. We expect our summer blockbusters to be loud and over the top, we want our male heroes to be buff and our gals to look sexy while running in impossible clothes that still show some cleavage, man we suck! Collectively.
This movie was pretty much the same as the other Jurassic Park movies. In the first installment, the velociraptors come out as this great new dinosaur we're all supposed to just accept that always were more popular than T-rex or a triceratops. "Clever Gal" survived from the movie, when the hunter expert gets outwitted by the raptor in the first movie.
In this movie, the raptors are almost "trained" by the hunky dude, (guess the Rock is too old for these rolls), Chris Pratt got in shape at the perfect time, he has filled in as the good looking hero time and again. Starting with Parks and Rec when he was a throw away character, who was more annoying than anything, he has grown into a pretty good action star, complete with smart ass mouth.
The hot chick was hot and detached and basically bad at her job. It seemed like any other regular business day on the island of dinosaurs and she's scampering around like the weight of the world is on her shoulders. Her sister has just sent her two nephews to hang out so they can get their divorce on, and she can't be bothered, ahh, to be good looking.
Of course when bad things start happening, the humans in charge always make more bad decisions to ensure catastrophes. Big dinosaur gets loose, kill it, you'll get sued out of business the minute it eats a kid. And of course her nephews are running around with their gold passes, thinking it gives them access to anywhere in the park. It was nice to see the older brother finally give two shits for the annoying younger one (hmm hmm), but in reality one of the other dinos would have eaten them post haste.
That extra long gator thing kept in a pool by the ocean is pretty much just hanging out until it feels like exploring. That was mucho dinosaur, even if it was used to make us say wow. Glad it existed, to keep things even.
It was entertaining and everything we want from a movie, I just feel we should want more. Oh well, we get in for free, so I shouldn't complain.
