How does the « Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom » stack up to the previous dino flicks?
Five movies and 25 years into the « Jurassic Park » series, « Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom » is here to blow up the dino-filled island and bring us a bunch of new evil corporate stooges who have nefarious plans for the de-extinct animals. So how does JA Bayona’s flick stack up against its predecessors?
5. Jurassic Park III » — Just completely unremarkable in every way, and somehow manages to completely dodge the « corporations are dumb and bad » thing that the entire rest of the franchise is about.
4. « Jurassic World » — This one is a huge mess, and makes very little sense. But the dino thrills are pretty fun, as is having a human villain who is so cartoonishly evil.
3. « The Lost World: Jurassic Park » — This one often gets a bad rap, but it really only deserve it in comparison to Spielberg’s original. On its own, « The Lost World » is a blast
2. « Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom » — Director JA Bayona takes a pretty pedestrian script and turns it into a thrilling experience that is a hell of a lot of fun. It also is incredibly topical, giving the series’ its most stupid and brazenly evil rich villain yet (that’s a compliment). It also redeems one big item from « Jurassic World » — Blue is a legit character this time around.
1. « Jurassic Park » — An easy choice, as Spielberg’s original film stands head and shoulders above the rest of the series. « Jurassic Park » is one of the greatest popcorn flicks of all time.
