# jurassic It is a fun and interesting adventure. Dinosaurs are bigger and better than ever. It’s a non-stop dinosaur action. And the return of Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill sparked nostalgia points. I just love them. pic.twitter.com/Z7kvy3SkpO

diverse Senior awards editor Clayton Davis called the film “nostalgia,” while hiding his exact opinion about the sequel under his preconceived conclusion that “this is going to make a lot of money.”
Let’s be clear…it doesn’t matter what I say #rule of the jurassic world – You’ll make a lot of money. It defies logic. It’s a movie where things just happen and people know things “because” – smoke weed, get drunk and have the time of your life. Craving for increased speed. pic.twitter.com/eD7hViPYSd

critic and diverse Contributor Courtney Howard summed up her reaction with “BAD,” noting that “Dominion” represented the worst quality franchise.
#rule of the jurassic world = bad. He ignores the premise he should have had from the start and instead engineer 2 completely different, uninteresting, empty stories he struggles to connect with. Some effects look polished, some are ruby. Worst franchise. pic.twitter.com/0xbyUR6O9d

Ian Sandwell of Digital Spy called the film “a disappointing ending,” though it highlights the reunion of the characters Neil, Dern and Goldblum as a strength of the film.
Delivers the scene you’d expect, but #rule of the jurassic world He is frustrated for an epilogue as he is walking on familiar ground. It’s great to see the OG trio and their thread is the strongest, even if it inadvertently highlights just how delicate JW’s characters are by comparison. pic.twitter.com/IT2yXfhMFY

Collider Perri Nemiroff made the follow-up, highlighting Bryce Dallas Howard’s performance as one of the film’s highlights.
#rule of the jurassic world An excellent blend of practical and digital effects. Dinos look great. Dimetrodon scene…up my alley. Bryce Dallas Howard escapes with the movie — and a new trilogy for that matter. Claire tests a single bow skeleton and Howard flies with it. pic.twitter.com/5qWYkddi9e

Insider’s Kirsten Acuna recommends rewatching the original “Jurassic Park” before it was released on “Dominion.”
#rule of the jurassic world He’s at his best when the old and new actors are together. Fans of the franchise should enjoy this. Lots of nods to the OG. I recommend giving that a close rewatch. pic.twitter.com/WfRSqzsM81

Gizmodo and io9 reporter German Lussier described the film as “overly indulgent and pointless,” with dinosaurs serving little more than “window decoration” to some lackluster plot lines.
Really, the Jurassic World Sovereignty is bad. Very bad. They’re too long, too repetitive, and dinosaurs decorate the windows for multiple monotonous and irrelevant stories. The actors are doing their best but it’s all just over-indulgent and pointless. One, if not worse, in the franchise.

#rule of the jurassic world is very terrible. It’s like a set of hotshots being brainstormed about in a dinosaur-themed amusement park and made into a movie. Bugs are more prominent than dinosaurs. Disruption on all fronts with bankrupt morals. Save your hard-earned. 🤦🏻♀️

Intuitive reaction after exiting #rule of the jurassic world Is this the worst movie I’ve ever loved in a series? It’s too long, the action sequences are downright ugly, and overall pretty bloated. Then again, you smiled to the beats of nostalgia and baby dinos like that too? pic.twitter.com/BA1J4uFOMD

good news: #rule of the jurassic world This is my favorite movie of the New Jurassic Trilogy. It’s stuffed with exciting dinosaur encounters and more Jeff Goldblum, but it also has a great balance of creepy and imaginative scenarios with a few optional nods to what came before. Solid conclusion. pic.twitter.com/G6bMCDUecL

I am not happy to report it #rule of the jurassic world Big disappointment. While the movie does feature some amazing dinosaur sequences and it’s great to see the original cast once again on the big screen, the movie fails to deliver on what the previous movies promised. pic.twitter.com/AsGoqMsrSf

Honestly, I’m still just rooting for dinosaurs. #rule of the jurassic world
