Do not go in expecting it to be like the original 3

Rating: 7/10 (14 June 2015)

(MINOR SPOILERS)
So I'll start by saying that I should have taken some advice and should have gone in with lower expectations because when I walked out I was disappointed, but that is only because I was trying to compare it to the original 3 movies which I should have known better because I knew going in it wouldn't be anything alike. Usually I tell myself to wait till the next day to rate it because normally it is higher when I sleep on it.
The movie was very predictable I knew what was going to happen before it happened, although a plus would be that I loved all the references they had from the previous movies, but again I was never "wowed". Till the first half of the movie my rating barely hit 5/10, it had a dull start; also there were many other flaws that could have been fixed but again it's a movie. Things that got on my nerves: (spoiler alert) - how can that 8 year old kid get that original Jurassic Park jeep working after sitting idle for 22 years? Also, the raptors being trained (though shown in the trailer). Meh. I prefer it to be dinosaurs vs humans not dinosaurs and humans vs dinosaurs. Also those kids had a hundred chances to run instead they just stare at the big dinosaurs. And what was the deal with the older brother? Why was he so grumpy the entire time?
The action however was superb and because of that the movie got a passing grade, otherwise it would have hovered at the 5-6/10 mark. The acting was average at best, some did above average and some below average. Overall, it was exciting (second half) action packed movie. Still - nothing compared to the original.
