In reality, the amount of things the big baddie can accomplish is either comical, or it’s been done before, removing any sense of wonder as someone who’s seen all the movies’ scores. These cues are extremely prevalent when Bayona decides to linger on a shot of one of its terrifying creatures - or so he would like you to think. Here, “Fallen Kingdom” accomplishes this feat for about half of the movie before ditching the iconic and familiar tone for a more stressful and over-the-top score that feels like it belongs in a much scarier film. Its hopeful trumpets, long, drawn-out violin cords and the great cinematography that accompanies it has always left a mark on the importance of good music to accompany a film. The theme song to “Jurassic Park” is iconic. Unfortunately, the film suffers heavily from some inconsistent CG, weirdly mismanaged score and a script that’s so insane, if I spoiled it you wouldn’t believe me. I had hopes then that a change in director and an emphasis on suspense would return the franchise to its more child-like-wonder roots. While there have always been huge inaccuracies in the franchise, it’s stayed relatively grounded (save for when the T-rex took San Diego in “The Lost World.”) While it featured some great chemistry between Howard and Pratt, its pretentious lecture on genetic development and its campy man-made monster diminished its aloof credibility on the subject. If it sounds outrageous, it’s because it definitely is.įriends of mine know how cartoonish and goofy I thought “Jurassic World” was when it came out in 2015. “Fallen Kingdom” follows Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Owen (Chris Pratt) as they are deceived into rescuing the remaining dinosaurs from Isla Nublar (the island that has housed both Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, and its Jurassic inhabitants.) After learning that the creatures are meant to be sold to the black market, the two set out to stop Mills (Rafe Spall) from unleashing dangerous creatures and prototype monsters into the world. Bayona’s follow up to 2015’s “Jurassic World” is quite the impressive visual spectacle, but the film lacks the basic logic to its characters’ decisions, nuance to the activist-tropey story or any semblance of fun to it. That’s the biggest compliment I can give “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.”ĭirector J.
