Running in high heels... Unbelievable!

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2015)

No doubt Jurassic World is better than the mess called "Jurassic Park 3" but sadly, it's nowhere near the gems that were the first and second movies. I mean, who actually places a lady like Bryce Dallas Howard to look pretty and, believe it or not, run from a snarling, angry dinosaur in HIGH HEELS?
Furthermore, while our friend the T-Rex was the main dinosaur for the previous movies, he seems to have become a sideshow this time round. It would have been nice to see the T-Rex come up earlier and get involved in a big fight with that Indominous Rex (together with the Raptors), rather than just at the end. And as for that Indominous fellow, why use a genetically engineered dinosaur? They should have taken one of several newly-discovered creatures instead, as a means of both introducing a new villain and showcasing such a brand new species to the world!
Speaking of the Raptors, doesn't it seem rather ill-conceived that Chris Pratt's character actually has that Alpha bond with the four "members" of the Raptor Squad? Sure, all four of them helped to fight the Indominous but they were definitely outmatched throughout, which is why it would have been better for T-Rex to do the job instead!
Of course the movie does have its good points, especially the part where the Pteranodons attacked the people after being set free by I-Rex (including that one unfortunate girl carried high into the air) and when the big water dinosaur jumped out of his pool to both eat the shark as well as I-Rex later. The part where the four Raptors accompanied Chris Pratt on his motorbike while looking for the I-Rex is also a memorable scene, one that also became some sort of meme in the end!
Anyway, while not exactly the best dinosaur movie, "Jurassic World" is still a good movie to catch on a boring Saturday night at home. It's just not exactly awards-worthy, unfortunately! XD
