Better than Jurassic Park 3

Jurassic World takes place 22 years after the original Jurassic Park failed the new park (also know as Jurassic World) is open for business. Jurassic World welcomes visitors from around the world to explore the wonders of seeing dinosaurs roam the Earth once again. Yet waning attendance has the Masrani Corporation focused on a new attraction - a genetically-modified dinosaur - a brand new species - but the plan backfires and threatens everyone on the island.
Jurassic World is a movie that nobody thought was going to happen, and that's because of the long development and the little bits of rumors about the project and that's the behind the scenes and some of the people who was working on the film dropped out due to many different reasons. Me and almost everyone give up on the film getting made, I mean it's been about 14 years (As I speak) since the third movie came out and the very last time we sawed Jurassic Park. Until one day, it happened, it finally happened. We finally got the movie we been waiting for and the first teaser trailer may have some people mixed about it, but almost everyone was excited for Jurassic World, and that's because the trailer caught that magic and wonder that Spielberg's Jurassic Park had.
Now after seeing the movie yesterday I got to say it's a way way better movie than Jurassic Park 3, but not as brilliant as Steven Spielberg Jurassic Park but I think I'm being a bit too harsh comparing the too because nothing can't top the first one and I wasn't really expecting this movie to do that, I'm just saying.
The director of the movie Colin Trevorrow has spoken out before saying how much he loved the first Jurassic Park movie and how that was he's childhood nostalgic. Now the only movie I've seen Colin Trevorrow directed is Safety Not Guaranteed which I sawed about couple days ago and I thought that movie was good but with many flawless which I will go into one day in my upcoming review for it, but anyway Colin Trevorrow as a director he's pretty good and in this movie he's directing was a bit off at times in a couple of scenes, but the rest of the time I thought he did good directing.
Chris Pratt was hands down the biggest stand out of the whole movie. Chris really won me over of being a down to earth action star with movies like Zero Dark Thirty and Guardians of the Galaxy. Every time he was on screen I was interested in his character because he was cool and was the only likable person in the movie. Chris Pratt did a awesome job in the movie and if they do make another Jurassic Park movie I really hope he's in it because he was the only enjoyable character in this movie.
The one thing I was a bit worried about before seeing the movie is the amount of CGI used in the movie, I mean just judging by the trailer they looked like a lot and yes these loads of CG in the movie, but for the most part it did look good at times and during the action scenes. But I will agree that these a little bit too much of it and some of it looks unfinished and didn't look like it's in the same environment with the actors.
The Indominus Rex in the movie was both menacing, scary and freaking cool and refreshing to see. The end battle which I won't give away was the highlight of the movie and it was a great way to end the movie.
I also love how the movie tells everyone to forget Jurassic Park 3, it's like a sorry letter to the fans and admitting that the third one sucked, even through this movie isn't flawless as well.
Now for the problems: Now I talked about Chris Pratt character being the whole good thing in the movie...well that's saying a lot if you compare he's character to the rest, because every character in this movie are dull and flat or just idiotic. I think the movie mostly focus on is action scenes and the dinosaurs being cool, but not really focusing on the character and let's not forget that what made the original Jurassic Park movie so special is the character's and how likable they are. Bryce Dallas Howard character was one unlikable character and the movie tries to make you like her towards the end, but I still didn't like her.
The writing in this movie is really flat and pretty awful at times. Now I have seen many movies that I can picture in my head of the writers just given up and put whatever down to make them feel that it good enough, but this is very close to being that. These many plot holes in the movie and scenes that didn't really make any sense at all, like how people are getting pretty bored of the dinosaurs thing, I mean WHAT!, how on earth can you be bored of seeing dinosaur's it's like the best thing to happen in a long time, now I now the movie does explain why but I don't buy into that at all. Oh and there's another sub plot in the movie with this government people wanting to take the velociraptor in war zone for a military weapon and that right there is so freaking stupid and so idiotic to do, because velociraptor can't just kill bad people they can turn on you because it's in they nature to kill and to them your just meat to eat.
The kid actors in the movie didn't do terrible job when it comes to acting, but they are scenes where they keep looking straight at the camera like most kid actors do, I know it's only for a split second but it took me of the movie a little bit and I couldn't take it seriously when they did that, and it happens more then once in the movie. The movie keeps cutting back to them and they not interesting at all and slowed down the movie for me.
The movie keeps re-creating or showing scenes that are just like the original Jurassic Park movie and after a while it got a bit annoying and pretty old really fast, I mean I would like if they just did a new movie with a new story, and not just keep going back to the original Jurassic Park and telling us how great Jurassic Park was.
Overall Jurassic World is a big improvement from Jurassic Park 3. It may seem like I'm nick picking here but that's just my honest thoughts of the movie. You may like it more then me and these nothing wrong with that, I thought the movie was good if I was judging it only as a Jurassic Park movie, but the movie dose have many flaws that could be improved on easily. Beside that I enjoyed the movie for what it was and I wouldn't mind seeing it again.
