An action packed, nostalgic blockbuster with a bit of cheesy dialogue

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2015)

If you're a nit picker and an overall negative critic, you will find plenty of things wrong with this movie, you won't recommend it, and you will remain butt hurt until the next installment.
However, if you're a dedicated, optimistic and hopeful fan of the Jurassic Park franchise, you're going to enjoy this movie.
I have been looking forward to this release from the moment it was announced, and not a day has gone by where I haven't tried to find out everything I can about it. So going into this I felt there was a lot of pressure in terms of my own self preservation, for this movie to be good.
And it definitely was.
The nostalgia theme throughout this is excellent, they do a fantastic job of tapping into your younger self and making you feel like a kid again. Confidently playing the old JP score without any apologies, and it works!
The action is almost non-stop and very well paced, never feeling like there was too much nor too little. The CGI is fantastic, and of course it would've been nice to see more Anamatronics but this is a new age of movie making that we have to adapt to.
They do an excellent job of portraying the I-Rex as a creepy, mastermind villain but also as an animal that you overall feel sorry for as it didn't ask to be thrown into the world like it is.
The rest of the Dinosaurs have the perfect amount of screen time, and the Raptors are definitely my favourite and I found myself more connected with them than I did with most of the human characters characters.
Chris Pratt plays his role fantastically. He was cool, calm, collected but not invincible. And I felt both him and BDH did the best they could with the script they were given. Cheesy dialogue is rampant throughout and very clichéd, however, if you go into this movie being prepared for that I can guarantee it won't be a deal breaker.
This movie had an enormous amount of pressure on it. It has dealt with so much criticism over trailers, CGI usage, actor selection, too name a few. Yet it has delivered everything we hoped for as true JP fans and I don't see any of the cheesy dialogue and clichés ruining this movie.
I ultimately would've preferred a bit more progression into a darker theme as the story went on, and honestly, although the child actors did a good job, I really didn't care about their back story. It almost seemed tacked on to provide some kind of ad-hoc character development, but was completely redundant.
JW is a great movie, not a perfect movie, but delivers on so many levels that only the true harsh critics and general trolls will think its awful.
I loved it and I left the cinema feeling very satisfied after months of waiting.
A solid 7/10.
