Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) by Michael B — 23 Jun 2018

Pros: the first part of the movie, on the island, was grand in scale, fun, and action packed. And of course jam packed with dinosaurs, including the mosasaurus. And the human cloning was an interesting twist.

Cons: the movie lost it's fun after it left the island. and forced you into the basement of a mansion. The politics inserted into the movie were a bore: animal rights, anti-trump jabs, and the modern, cruel, unforgiving flavor of feminism. Examples include when the antagonist says, "what a nasty woman," and when Jeff Goldblum lectures us on the megalomaniac in politics, referring to Trump of course. One of the female protagonists was a rude individual, easily offended, like when a man says to her to be careful on the island, she snaps at him because she is a woman. She is going into a jungle full of large, man-eating dinosaurs and an erupting volcano, but hell, how dare he even suggest!

Suggestion: I would like to see Dr. Wu's character more developed in future movies. He is a true, modern, Dr. Frankenstein mad scientist.
