Jurassic World.
I have mixed feelings about the first two Jurassic Park movies (the third one was ****) as they were films of my childhood...so, they were awesome, because they had dinosaurs in them, but they were terrifying, because those dinosaurs were devouring people. I still get an uncomfortable feeling when I watch them, as I remember how scared I used to be. I mean, I was only about four or five when I saw the first one, after all.
But I...didn't really get that with this movie. It didn't FEEL like a Jurassic Park movie; it was just a random film with dinosaurs in it. Sure, it was a pretty good one, and I was very grateful they didn't spend much time on those bratty little kids and actually gave me what I wanted - dinosaurs running rampant - but it felt like it had been...censored, perhaps? That element of suspense bordering on horror was completely gone, it wasn't quite as graphic as the past films were, and a lot of the excitement was gone...in fact, the movie summed itself up perfectly right at the start when they were talking about the park: people have gotten so used to dinosaurs that they need to keep on bringing in new attractions to keep people interested. Whilst the park in the movie might have managed to do that, this movie did not. It felt more like a rehashed reimagining than a true sequel.
Well-paced, nice special effects, passable acting...but lacking. Not what I was hoping for. But still a million times better than the godawful third film.
