I was pleasantly surprised by Jurassic World, after the trailer I honestly had no desire to see it. So my expectations were quite low, but my wife was excited about it so we went.

I'd say it lives up to the original in most ways. Some of the performances were a little flat/hollow, but overall it's enjoyable for what it is. I suspect kids (whatever age is appropriate for such films) will enjoy it as much as adults/parents did the original.

But one thing bugged me about it.

Spoiler!

Anways as far as dumb popcorn flicks are concerned, this one's worth seeing, especially if you're a fan of the originals.

The ending when the Claire releases the t-rex to fight indominus-rex... how is two unstoppable killing machines in a park full of tourist better than one? The t-rex was greatly feared in the original, but in this one it's like "I know who will save us!" Sure maybe the t-rex is "tame" after living it's life in the park, but it just reminded me of that one episode of the simpsons. Lisa What happens when we're overrun by lizards the t-rex? SKINNER No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes raptors. They'll wipe out the lizards t-rex. LISA But aren't the snakes raptors even worse? SKINNER Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake raptor meat. LISA But then we're stuck with gorillas! SKINNER No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death. Anways as far as dumb popcorn flicks are concerned, this one's worth seeing, especially if you're a fan of the originals.
