OK But not Great

Rating: 5/10 (12 June 2015)

I went to see this reboot of the series with high expectations. I also went in under the mistaken belief that this was directed by Steven Spielberg himself. He hasn't directed a film since Lincoln. Well it definitely shows. So many things to not like about this film. One.. Not scary. at all. It felt so contrived and safe. Like a Disney ride you know will come to a end after some brief manufactured jump outs. Two. Bryce Dallas Howard seems miscast. Almost robotic. Third. Not enough dinosaurs. The"asset" as the one "scary" dinosaur they review to in this movie. Is a Godzilla wannabe. I can see why the screenplay needed 4 writers. Its a mashed up mess. Next time wait for it on DVD!
