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!

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.

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.

Well at least the T-rex knew its place in that ecosystem. Indominus was basically a psychopath of the JP world, so yeah better off going with the T-rex. By that point in the movie the park was never gonna open again, so might as well get the T-rex to down Indominus to give the rest of the dinos on the island a fighting chance.
