I did also like the scene of them leaving the island watching it get destroyed by the volcano and see the original brachiosaurus from the first movie disappear behind volcanic ash. Sad as hell but still a great scene



Mrs Cricket did NOT like that scene at all. TBH though, I was sad as shite too watching the brachy let out that sad moan.

I like your list and agree with it. I did though enjoy JP 3. I dont even know why but that one was OK for me.

The only thing that Fallen Kingdom has over Dominion is the mansion scenes that almost reach horror status.

The back half of Fallen Kingdom, specifically with the horror/gothic mansion part was pretty entertaining and a welcome departure.

The first half was lame and the volcano eruption scene with the veggiesaurs getting murdered at the dock by the ash & lava legit makes me want to cry.

I’m not as harsh as that but the mansion scene being horrory is the best part of the two movies.

I only saw it because my friend bought my ticket. I had no desire to see it.

The ONLY thing that would have made the movie worth the free ticket is if at the end when Grant and Sattler are talking and she asks him out for coffee (or whatever it was)…. Had she said something like "yeah because I want to talk about this guy I just met"

Had Grant deadpanned to the camera I would have laughed my arse off.

The raptors in JP3 were my favorite ones. I always thought it was cool that the T-Rex finally got a rival. Don’t even care that people hated the spino. It’s definitely the weakest of the original 3 but its grown on me over the years.

I'm generally a "even if its bad, if its at least fun I'm fine with it" type of movie watcher when it comes to these big action flicks. Dominion to me is just irredeemable. Its a complete mess of a movie.

I'll also give it to FK for not being a massive rug pull. Leading up to Dominion all the marketing focused on dinosaurs causing a mess around the world instead we get 1 minute of news coverage and locusts
Huge letdown in Dominion. I thought for sure there would be higher stakes out of necessity, because FK underperformed so badly with the weird political undertones and odd militarization plot. In this one they just turned Dodgson into evil Tim Cook and completely ignored the Dinosaurs being let loose. And that God-Awful gun/dinosaur chase through Malta, the plane crash that didn't put a scratch on either character, Ron Howard's daughter ( ) stranded in the jungle with Dinosaurs but nothing happens to her, then to add insult to injury, nothing bad happened or even posed a real threat to the OG crew... like, at all. Dr. Wu breaks his elbow or something when they're leaving... why even bother?

Always thought JP3 was much better than Lost World.


Agreed. The black girl using her uneven bar gymnastics experience to defeat a raptor in Lost World was laughable. I couldn’t stop giggling in the theater.

The San Diego part of Lost World wasn't great but honestly everything before that was pretty solid aside from the gymnastics scene.

The trailer scene was fantastic and Eddie Carr had probably had the most painful death of the series. Also the long grass scene with the raptors might be my favorite scene in the series up there with the T-Rex breakout and Raptors in the kitchen

Unpopular opinion, every Jurassic park movie besides the original sucks. It's just varying degrees of garbage.
