Worse than JP3

Rating: 1/10 (18 June 2015)

Let me start by saying that I love dinosaurs. As a kid, I would spend hours in the library reading about them and their awesome size and power. I loved the original movie, and I thought its sequel, "Lost World" was even better. If you have any respect for those films, do not give up your money to see this movie.
First off, it is riddled with extremely ostentatious product placement. The movie opens with a close up of beats by dre. No, seriously. There is a kid with beats on in the middle of the screen for at least 2 minutes. Later in the movie, the heroine is driving an armored truck. What is on the front of said truck? A GIANT Mercedes logo. And those are only two of the many ads in the film.
The other major problem is that zero effort was put into writing. Clumsy homages and continuity errors riddle this film. Basically, it bears the name "Jurassic Park", but it has the writing of "Dinoshark".
Bottom line: It's rare that a movie makes me angry, but this one did. (This is coming from a guy that has watched the entirety of "Titanic 2"). If this film were a standalone, it might be a 4, but such poor execution on a long awaited and greatly anticipated franchise is unacceptable. This movie is thoughtless, eye candy garbage, and its success is setting up equally terrible films for the future.
So do yourself a favor. When your friends tell you how great this movie is, nod politely, change the subject, go home, warm up some popcorn, gather up the family, and watch the original or sequel instead. You'll be glad you did.
