JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM's Rotten Tomatoes Score Has Been Revealed

"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a gigantic disappointment that is arguably the worst film in the series. The film is at its best in its earliest stages, where director J.A. Bayona manages to stage some effective moments, but the film barely manages to interact with the moral question it sets up, trying to make the dinosaurs cuddly and sympathetic, and the film quickly shifts away from it. When it does, the film completely collapses: although moving off the island offers potential new story possibilities, almost half the film becomes a seemingly endless and tiresome run around the darkened corridors of an enormous mansion. It ends up feeling the one thing a Jurassic movie should never be, and that's small, and Bayona can't do much with the dreadful script, co-written by Trevorrow, that regularly has absurd lapses in logic. This feels like a stop-gap installment, teasing yet more sequels to come, forgetting to be entertaining in its own right; all the wonder and fun has been stripped from this rickety rollercoaster."

2/5
