“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” is a blast (on the most giant screen possible), but with weak foundations, it’s hard not to feel disappointed and wonder what could have been.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 9, 2024

"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," continues the feral frolic only to go a little too far and throw smarts out the window next.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 4, 2023

As good-looking as the movie is, it's not enough to change my mind: this is one of the worst films of 2018. An excellent cast, some mind-blowing CGI, and a great director... all wasted due to an extremely flawed screenplay and paper-thin new characters.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 25, 2023

I found myself constantly puzzled by the creative decision-making and lack of aim.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 22, 2022

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has a few primal thrills and bouts of humor, but a story structure that remains distractingly uninspired.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 11, 2022

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is not a dumb movie. It's a terrifying movie about dumb, greedy people who do dumb, greedy things and are made to suffer for their misdeeds and stupidity.

If you don't think you'll enjoy watching 2+ hours of dinosaurs dying in every depressing, horrible way possible, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom probably is not for you.

| Original Score: C- | Nov 21, 2021

Falls victim to the same problem that has plagued every sequel to the iconic film: it makes the mistake of thinking bigger is better.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 21, 2021

At its core, this is an action-packed summer blockbuster that, if I'm honest, would probably be forgotten by the end of the year.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 17, 2021

Trevorrow's vision for this trilogy might have the right concept overall, but the writing and foundation of it is simply too weak.

| Original Score: 3 / 5 | Jun 24, 2021

The end promises even dafter things to come. Call me a fool, but I'm all in.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 29, 2021

This isn't the feel-good movie of the year ... You may find yourself crying over imaginary dinosaurs. It's OK. It happens to the best of us.

This latest endeavor suggests that a never-ending series of monotonous, formulaic, CG-heavy blockbusters will be all that this property has in store for the future.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 7, 2020

The script is downright terrible with horrible dialogue and unrealistic actions taken by the characters. Yes, it's about dinosaurs, but you still want some sense of plausibility.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 4, 2020

The film disappointed me and my modest thumbs down comes with the acute awareness that I'm someone who sees far more films than the average human being.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020

A disappointingly dark fifth installment that offers a few fleeting moments of nostalgia, while taking a giant dino step backward for a brand that was once beloved for all the right reasons and now exists for all the wrong ones.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 29, 2020

They say that life finds a way, but Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom proves to be quite an exception.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 24, 2020

The times when Fallen Kingdom aims for gravity or sincerity fall flat.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 18, 2020

It is a cash grab in the worst possible way, stuffed with callbacks, cameos, and thinly veiled fan service. It is a spectacular disappointment.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 9, 2020

There's no excuse for a movie with dinosaurs to be so painfully dull and dreary.

| Original Score: D | Jul 1, 2020
