       Wow! Has it been 3 years since Jurassic World? It seems like the
       first one just came out and here we are again with Jurassic
       World: Fallen Kingdom. I had a lot of issues with JW and really
       wasn't interested in see JWFK at all. I knew eventually I would
       get around to it, but it wasn't on my 'Must-See' list. So, how
       was JWFK? Meh. I have this one below that of what I thought was
       a pretty average and underwhelming flick. This one, just like
       JW, takes a big chunk of the plot of The Lost World: Jurassic
       Park by making it all about Hunters looking to poach a certain
       number or species of Dino's from Isla Nublar  as a volcano is
       about to decimate the Island and getting them to the Mainland.
       Yes, JWFK has a fresh coat of paint, but it's still the same
       movie as before.
       In all honesty, there really isn't much else to do with the
       franchise. That is until we get to the end of the movie that is.
       Before I talk about that, everything that leads there was as I
       said, 'meh'. There is still NO CHEMISTRY between Chris Pratt and
       Bryce Dallas Howard. They really need to stop trying to make
       this a "Love story". It's never going to work. But that really
       isn't the problem with both movies. A lot of set pieces with
       cardboard characters that I have no connection with at all. With
       that said, there was one twist that I didn't see coming and was
       kind of interesting in it's own right with the revelation that
       Maisie is a human clone. I should have seen it coming.....but I
       didn't. Now, as I mentioned earlier, there isn't much they can
       do with the franchise right? Well, the ending, with the release
       of the surviving Dino's, being unleashed out into the World,
       this does set up what JW3 is most likely going to be: Human's
       and Dino's "co-existing". With everything thus far being
       contained to an Island, this does open up possibilities moving
       forward and finally gives the name Jurassic World its true
       meaning. As for this, I can't really recommend this as a Rent.
       Maybe on a rainy day and there is nothing else to check out,
       then maybe.
       One last thing, I totally forgot about Jeff Goldblum being in
       the Trailer and when he pops up at the beginning of the movie, I
       was pumped to see him return to the Island again. Doesn't
       happen. He has a cameo at the start and at the end of the flick.
       So, that turned into a big disappointment for me. But it was
       cool to see B. D. Wong return. I'm sure he will definitely
       return in JW3 as he will most likely be tasked to created Dino
       killers to combat the current breed of Dino's roaming the Earth.
