MovieBob Reviews - JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM

[@VelkanKiador]

One thing that frustrated me, their new dinosaur with mixed dna is another raptor yet again! Seriously when you make a super dinosaur why not give them a T-rex head, ankylosaurus's spiky armored body, raptor intelligence and claws, stegosaurus's tail etc. Go nuts with the design, make it look like one of those combo dinosaurs kids love to draw in their drawing books.

[@geardog24]

VelkanKiador they're saving that for the sequel.

[@Kroododile553]

geardog24 nah, there’s not gonna be any more hybrids from what I heard

[@victorchapa6307]

Pfff wasted potential.

[@BigT.Larrity]

"That thing that looks like a raptor, sounds like a raptor, moves like a raptor, and hunts like a raptor; *I THINK IT'S PART RAPTOR!!"*

[@hollandscottthomas]

So you're suggesting some kind of... Jigsaur?

[@Blizzardfire]

I have to say, the Indo Raptor is a mark improvement over the iRex. Sure it's not as big, but there's something odd and unsettling about the way it moves and behaves. At one point it crouches down to track its prey and I found the visual disturbing.

[@TheHongKongHermit]

I was going to complain about the intro gag returning, but the punchline sold it, and you're basically trolling your own audience and I'm fully behind that.

[@tassadarc8069]

Man, I'm really surprised they remade Alien Resurrection.

[@spman]

Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark all the dinosaurs are running wild

[@Aging_Casually_Late_Gamer]

Someone shut the fence off in the rain

[@danielramsey6141]

I love Weird Al :)

[@jordansweet8054]

What a crummy weekend this has been!!!

[@gigastrike2]

Review starts at 0:50.

[@NidorinoAlliance]

Bob, I think your complaint on Bruce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt’s character’s in this “Not being a joke anymore” and “things still being the same”, is more stemmed from the first Jurassic World not having as much of the meta narrative as you originally claimed. Which is part of why I hated the first one, because I don’t think those two characters are supposed to be cartoons. They’re just poorly written IMO, and the one the audience is explicitly supposed to sympathise with and root for (Pratt) is unlikeable and misogynistic, and the one the movie goes out of its way to villainise (Howard) isn’t really that unlikeable.

[@samaelmalkira9420]

Was gonna say, Colin Trevorrow really doesn't seem smart enough to be self-aware like that. If his track record has proven anything it's that he's pretty mediocre. Worst thing you could have done for a genuinely creative indie director like J. A. Bayona is make him play by Colin's shit-show of a script

[@XanderVJ]

Nah, I'd say both Pratt and Howard's characters are equally unlikable. And although it's true that the film makes more fun of Howard's character, "villainaise" is not the word I'd use. She's not portrayed as a villanesque character. Just stuck up her own ass.

[@RearAdmiralNashiba]

I'll second this as being a sizable problem with World 1. Having characters that are less character and more type isn't unknown to the franchise, and to Crichton's works as a whole, but the job of the narrative is render those types into relatable, entertaining, or even just watchable specimens.

[@NidorinoAlliance]

RealAdmirableNashiba That is a good point. Because I honestly don’t have a problem with characters that are just archetypes on principle. But they just aren’t likeable or charming enough. I honestly do like Howard’s character more than other people, but I feel like the movie tries to put her as this nagging bitch just to make you like Pratt for “putting her in her place” or some shit, so I end up hating them when they’re together. The one character I found genuinely likeable in the last one was Jake Johnson, but that’s more from his charisma transcending the shit script.

[@drawingconclusions3489]

Owen and Claire are actually both much more likable than in Jurassic World, which is one of the things this movie has going for it. I actually liked Fallen Kingdom better than Jurassic World, up until about the last 10 minutes. But I didn't like Jurassic World either, so there's that. -- Jessica from Drawing Conclusions, the marriage of movies and art

[@glenbarrington2634]

BD Wong's "Evil Dr Wu" has failed in his villainy 4 times! Don't you think the bad guy venture capitalists might have started to think of him as a "has been" by now?

[@ImVeryOriginal]

Another MovieBob review, another overlong gag intro. I'm starting to enjoy this, even as a trolly metajoke.

[@ThePonderer]

NotAffiliated that makes one of us

[@petercarioscia9189]

The Ponderer I'd say about half of us. Some like the trolly gags, others get trolled and triggered over it.

[@bascal133]

NotAffiliated he knows exactly what he’s going 😂

[@theflufflyfluffy]

don't encourage him

[@wondashozen]

Was just going to comment this. I really appreciate how upset people get.

[@googamp32]

Well, I know what I'M going to see this weekend! Incredibles 2 for the third time!

[@ThePonderer]

googamp32 ditto

[@sampark17]

Why, there’s no reason to avoid seeing Fallen Kingdom, even if you take everything he says here as FACT, he still enjoyed it!!

[@glenbarrington2634]

A waste of money, just sayin'

[@drawingconclusions3489]

This is a nice movie to look at, so if you're into that it is worth seeing on the big screen. Just be prepared to put your brain to the side when it comes to the plot. -- Jessica from Drawing Conclusions, the marriage of movies and art

[@galenryder]

I basically agree with all those points. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly they wrap up the island stuff. Pratt gets a good weird physical comedy scene. But the off-island stuff does feel like a big pulled punch to setup the fun stuff for Colin Trevorrow in Jurassic World 3. Also the climatic encounter at the end was kinda meh, the new Dino wasn't that interesting though I did like the callback shot to the raptors in the kitchen scene from the original.

[@komusha]

I gotta be honest here, the intro made me literally laugh out loud at the end. Bob, you keep doing you.

[@TheMultiPickle]

I love the long silent intros, love that you keep doing them in spite of what some say because you want to di it

[@jeremyjw]

and the secret castle had a severe lack of security guards

[@TwenteeEight]

I love Bob’s slight trolling. You can skip ahead in videos, folks.

[@writingref]

You’re officially my favorite KZbin reviewer now - this review is the most insightful and fair. You have a way of picking out what is good about dumb movies and what is dumb about movies everyone is supposed to love - and then hilariously trashing the movies that actually deserve it like pixels and the emoji movie

[@skywalkerchick]

Moviebob, your points in the movie's flaws are definitely fair, especially the one about the little girl, but I did enjoy this movie more than I was expecting based on your review. I probably would've given it a solid 3 stars and I actually like it better than the first Jurassic World.

[@ImperatorZor]

I tear up when I see the Dinosaurs being driven off the cliff.

[@HoustonSoto]

What’s worse, a joke you can skip over in the timeline by fast forwarding or people spending twenty minutes explaining their hurt feelings over said intro?

[@DocEonChannel]

Haven't seen it, but even if they blow up Isla Nublar, can't they just go to Isla Sorna if they want to repeat the "dinos on an island" tropes?

[@WDSimp]

Turning dinosaurs into soldiers is one of those ideas that sounds incredibly cool in an action figurey sort of way, like if it happened in a G.I. Joe movie I would be completely onboard with it. But in this franchise the attempt to make dinosaur soldiers always ends badly and most of the time ends with the very people who want to have dinosaur soldiers getting eaten by the dinosaurs.

[@davidv4018]

So, the problem is not with direction, but with screenplay. I've been hearing this a lot.

[@KhanMann66]

David V Writer sucks too

[@drawingconclusions3489]

Yes, the script is not good. The movie actually looks great and the performances are good. The story is just dumb, dumb, dumb. They could have gotten to the outcome of the movie to set up a third JW film in a different and much better way. -- Jessica from Drawing Conclusions, the marriage of movies and art

[@davidv4018]

KhaanMan66 the writer is the one who writes the screenplay.

[@biggerdoofus]

So...how is this different than Lost World? Cause it sounds like the only big difference is not setting it in a new location.

[@victorchapa6307]

My thoughts exactly.

[@KhanMann66]

Same exact story line. Copy paste plot and slapping Jurassic World 2 title to draw in gullible people. Face it this movie made mad stacks.

[@apollion888]

I REALLY like these 2 recent silent-ish starts to reviews, Inc2 being the other. If you're gonna attempt a third, do it with a drink in your hand, and if Geek wants you to be age conscious, put a straw in it :-)

[@mentlinc]

Wasn't expecting much but it was great. Felt like 2 movies in one.

[@Laufield]

All dinosaurs died on island volcano but what about isla sorna from JP2 and JP3?

[@Horrormaster13]

TheGarfieldxx30000 Good question.

[@glenbarrington2634]

Welcome to the Planet of the Apes! "I'm a Human Being! You Damn Dinosaur!" My wife and I have agreed we are done!

[@RisingBeast00]

In two of the Sega Jurassic Park games there was a volcano. It was only a matter of time before it was going to show up in the movie.

[@geardog24]

I'm still waiting for dinosaur/human hybrids we were supposed to get.

[@jeopardydexter4983]

I saw it last night and liked it better than the first JW. Better pacing, bigger action, and the Indoraptor was legitimately frightening. I found the romantic bickering far more toned down from JW1 too.

[@ataridc]

Lets all wait in anticipation for the next Jurassic reboot that takes place at yet another park

[@jairizard]

Missed opportunity for a Fiendish Dr. Wu joke.

[@ZachBobBob]

Just skip the intro people goddamn. This is youtube you have the power! And even then it's literally only 40 seconds, is that time THAT precious?

[@petercarioscia9189]

Zach Gerrity thank you. Jesus people are pricks. It was clever enough

[@epbrown01]

Thought the punch line was pretty funny.

[@RoonMian]

That you people still haven'T figured out that every time you whine about this he makes those bits longer just to piss you off... It's gone from 20 seconds the first time ovver 30 seconds the last time to 40 seconds now. Please cry harder.

[@RoboBoddicker]

I really hope Bob just keeps making them more elaborate and absurd just to troll them

[@blakebeshires5859]

i just paused the video to let everyone know - im preparing for my speakers to explode.

[@Derekivery]

I'm willing to bet the Next Jurassic World film will be "Oh yeah the island blew up BUT we had a second (or third or fourth) Island with Dinosaurs​, and the zoo broke down."

[@QwertyCaesar]

Mr. Divery I just want one sequel to be like that but the park actually functions fine because it's basically just Cartmanland and the rich owner doesn't do stupid stuff to entertain guests like gene splicing and instead just has a whole bunch of what exactly they like managed perfectly.

[@KhanMann66]

There is a second island that kinda exist but doesn't in the JW universe.

[@CrisjoseCruz]

Lmao I love how after every review ppl always talk about his long drawn out jokes and comedic timing. But every time I'm just in tears laughing

[@gavinerickson9392]

Didn't really expect Goldblum would be in it for more than one or 2 lines.

[@KallKar83]

Because Jeff Goldbloom with um... find a way.

[@dmkelsey6251]

So the new goal with the opens is to eventually give everyone a panic attack, huh?

[@PavarottiAardvark]

So...are we finally gonna get a Riptor style black-ops-raptors film?

[@louisduarte8763]

And that'll go well until the raptors finally encounter guys who know how guns work.

[@PavarottiAardvark]

The raptors will have guns too.

[@MrChupacabra555]

You know, the obvious next step for this franchise, and Dr. Wu[sp], is to start making Human/Dino hybrids, they would have all the intelligence and controllability of a person, with many of the 'buffs' of a dinosaur. But then that would take it way too close to some of the campy sci-fi movies of the past, wouldn't it?

[@OriginalNeomoon]

I fell asleep.

[@jasonpratt5126]

No, Site B probably still exists. What does impress me is that they're reaaallly trying to go for the insane militarized dino plot which JP4 was originally posited as.

[@LupineShadowOmega]

That part. It is a very stupid idea. Especially in our current world of drones and robots getting better everyday. So of course the only recourse the military has are trained animals that a single one probably costs double what they'd pay for a dozen drones or robots that could actively be piloted by humans and not eat you if they go rogue.

[@jasonpratt5126]

What makes that military training concept even more insane, is that the villains keep acting like they've got this covered, these things obey commands, WHEN ALL THE EVIDENCE SHOWS THEY DON'T (or barely do). It's so overtly dumb and wrong that it breaks immersion. Of course the original JP4 concept involved dino-human hybrids (which maybe we're getting to in future films after all), and started with trained hybrids already in play, so at least there would have been proof-of-concept to go on.

[@LupineShadowOmega]

Agreed. That's also pretty silly, but at the very least it would have more to back it up than just a strange idea that hasn't shown itself to be worth it in any fashion.

[@jman8904]

I liked the first one, but found it fell flat on repeat viewings. I'm a give this one a shot, but I'll probably wait until it's out of theaters

[@TheZarbear]

Don’t stop the cold opens, Bob. They’re good but nobody bats 1.000.

[@drfraudulence909]

It was hard to see my watch in the theatre, but Goldblum was in the movie for nearly three minutes. Yes, I checked.

[@VanNicky75]

These intros are so bad I’m starting to like them

[@firefly4f4]

I found this movie very dull.

[@XC11301991]

The movie was a wasted attempt but at least it sets it up to essentially be Monster Hunter. The world is overrun with dinosaurs and humans genetically modify to make dinosaur weapons until it gets really out of hand where the monsters wipes out most of the world.

[@danielramsey6141]

Now Mix in abit of Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, and the Dino-Humanoids from Crytons' first book and you have yourself a Badass movie!

[@KhanMann66]

Oh shit, our first dinosaur game movie!

[@nitromagilou597]

+Daniel Ramsey That actually sounds like a pretty decent movie.

[@starvalkyrie]

"Fallen Kingdom isn't doing the joke anymore..." It wasn't a joke Bob. Jurassic World just had shitty characters.

[@Loremastrful]

Question: Why did they make up BDH into Pepper Pots? I was marathoning the MCU when the first trailer came out and it really struck me how identical the two characters look.

[@JimJava007]

I will be forever infuriated that it's taken this long for a franchise called Jurassic WORLD to be about dinosaurs retaking the entire planet.

[@ShanaReviews]

calling it now. Next entrie into the series will be called: Jurrasic Wars

[@bearshark5941]

I'm so sick of mustache twirling men in suits as villains. If you're going to make a villain character want nothing but money and status, give them a reason that makes the character feel more fleshed out and interesting to watch.

[@redraptorwrites6778]

At least we still have the first two.

[@OrbGoblin]

Wonder if the genetically modified dinosaurs end up leading into "A Quiet Place".

[@pakornwattanavrangkul2550]

Loved the movie when it tried to be a horror monster flick, like at the beginning with the mosasaur.

[@ataridc]

Bobby I know you hold your fans and their criticisms in contempt so I'll just say this: haha what a wonderful funny intro! Just standing there doing nothing! Shwoo! A knee slapper!

[@Chrismw81]

So the island is now..."obsolete?"

[@Jebbtube]

Don't you mean "Fiendish Dr. Wu"?

[@jairizard]

MagnuMagnus came here for this. Was not disappointed. I tip my digital hat to you, good sir.

[@stanj85]

The moment I saw the trailer, I knew it was going to be a disappointment. I'm more than willing to wait for this to come out on Netflix. Not worth a ticket.

[@KINGBADASS100]

I just don’t know why on earth people made Jurassic world after what happened in Jurassic World. You would have thought after people were killed by dinosaurs the first time, they’d just stop bringing dinosaurs back completely, & arrest/execute dr.hammond.

[@emperorstrider9541]

38 seconds of silence...wtf Bob?!

[@TakeWalker]

Thought my headphones weren't working again.

[@PaulDozierZZoMBiE13]

No idea where he got the idea that these opening bits were warranted or needed (or clever) but I hope they are just a temporary nuisance that will end soon.

[@pathevermore3683]

0:41 has the explanation or the silence preceding it.

[@ThePonderer]

Path Evermore said explanation is pretty flimsy. That same punchline could’ve come after 40 seconds of actual content, rather than NOTHING.

[@GaiashKetoji]

Paul Dozier They’re fine when they’re shot, his recent desire to stretch them out is getting on my nerves though.

[@saltzytheslick]

I'll wait and watch this on my couch at Xmas time.

[@benjones8098]

Liking solely for the 40 sec sight gag. Love a commited joke.

[@BOYVIRGO666]

I kinda wanna see jurassic park meets deep blue sea.

[@jealey12]

You're a good reviewer dude, but these start skits are not good.

[@castillejan]

Joe it's a metajoke at this point

[@jamescalvert4471]

A wise reviewer once said "An intentionally annoying character [gag] is still bloody annoying."

[@arubinojr5670]

Not everything that sucks is meta.

[@Omnicrom]

A Metajoke is only a Metajoke if I'm laughing. I'm not laughing.

[@QwertyCaesar]

I liked this one. Let's not pretend that they didn't sell Goldblum hard on this. From what I hear he has a bigger presence in the tie-in videogame.

[@AegisEpoch]

i appreciated that moment of silence before your video actually

[@montanarandall3126]

thankyou youtube comments for the horrible intro gag warning

[@jmalmsten]

"Bullhorn, no! At long last, our friendship bonded by the struggle against The Man has been brought to an end by kung-fu treachery! Brother, your death will not go unavenged! Fiendish dr Wu... YOU'VE GONE F****D UP NOW!!!" - Black Dynamite

[@jmalmsten]

I can't believe it took me this long to get the connection between the franchises!

[@reng935]

Yeeees. The mansion should have been spookier, etc. etc. I dont know who to blame.

[@josephbernados1649]

wait, why didn't you like The Impossible?

[@gonaye1]

Wow. That intro said it all. #fallenfranchise

[@leoschue8071]

Alright, fine, that opening bit ended up making me laugh.

[@loonachan]

If only they looked like actual dinosaurs. They could actually make Blue all blue!

[@butchdeadlift10]

Here is my Jurassic Franchise criticism. Look at a tiger, look at a lion, look at a cheetah, look at a panther, look at a puma, look at a jaguar: Now think of a how they are all just cats, but all have their own mood and place they would prefer to kill you in. Not to mention their different colors and furs. Now, imagine if T-rex, allosaurous, spinosaurus, carnosaurous, and raptors got the same variety of colors and variety of killing environments to hunt you down in. If I can think of the epic run for my life from a heard of wildebeest vs being trapped in a house with a rabid elephant, surely these jurassic franchise films could come up with something more creative than "Remember the raptor? Yeah he's cool".

[@vazak11]

Sounds fair and also quite different than what I assumed they'd do.

[@isaaczurich9272]

Why do we continue to devote ourselves to a franchise that has produced, from what I can gather, only one good movie?

[@queendsheena1]

Popcorny movie goodness here I come.

[@stevesmith1383]

The rich guy wasn't bad. The person working on behalf of the rich guy was bad

[@pepagacy]

With all of the desires to make genetically-superior dinosaurs (or maybe other animals), I was wondering when they were going to take the next step and just call the next sequel "Gammarauders". Yes, that was a thing in the late 80s and early 90s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gammarauders

[@jman2856]

They’re still making more of these and they’re still never going to be as fresh or as interesting as the original Jurassic Park. I pray that this film bombs.

[@ghosface353]

So if you want Jeff Goldblum you have to play Jurassic World Evolution? He seem to be the only actor from the cast actually voicing his own character in the game.

[@r0bw00d]

3:29 - 3:31 Can you give us the address of the barn?

[@EmeraldDragon]

I'm just kind of surprised that they haven't made PETA the bad guy yet.

[@KevinTheTimeGeek86]

If they did, it'd be a really short movie. :D

[@EmeraldDragon]

Like one of those Pixar shorts at the beginning of the movie "Be Free!" *chomp*

[@KevinTheTimeGeek86]

Exactly. :D

[@louisduarte8763]

Goldblum's in the movie for only THAT long? How disappointing. And does anyone in these movies think (besides "cloning the carnivorous dinosaurs was a bad idea") about just shooting them?

[@brandonmichaud8047]

OG Jurassic Park and Fallen Kingdom are the only good ones in the franchise. Surprised I liked this one so much

[@EwanMakeMovies]

Strongest film in the series since the original.

[@ThePhilosogamer]

Agreed (surprisingly). Granted, that's not saying much, and the gap between this one and the original is still pretty large, but it was definitely better than all of the other sequels.

[@battleangel8903]

I'm going to let you off on that intro since to me it practically symbolizes this movie overall. Unless....it was intentional....

[@DoNotWorryPodcast]

Feels like you're being too lenient this summer Bob! This movie was aggressively mediocre.

[@BrontoSmilodon1]

Actually this is suppose to be the last movie to have a hybrid.....hybrid dinosaur

[@KhanMann66]

BrontoSmilodon1 What next, monster hunter style?

[@UsualHandleISwear123]

LMAO perfect opening bit!!!!

[@RazorCatchPrey]

Damnit, Bob. Now I really want to see a version of Tombstone with Jack Burton-Earp.

[@hamsters7760]

Okay Bob, I've bitched about extended cold open jokes not landing well before... But that was good. That was very good. :D

[@HermanFalckHow]

I am at a 3.5 stars here. I thought this was a blast. It felt like an old Godzilla movie. Super silly, violent in all the best ways and very pro monsters fucking people up. I get what you mean but I don't think for a second we are going to get a better movie in the third one. I had a blast here.

[@RisingBeast00]

I think the movie could have been better had it been rated R. Meaning that they can go all the way with whatever they were taking the series.

[@Xecryo]

You know the starting silence is growing on me. Because as you point out in another video some people come here just come for the Good/Bad dichotomy instead of the actual artistic evaluation of the film. So what better way to punish that mentality than to delay their immediate gratification?

[@willr8764]

Okay... you got me with that punchline for the intro...

[@nifralo2752]

How long till we get talking dinosaurs or werdinosaus (human dino hybrids). Come on There is 5 of these they are going to do that eventually.

[@matmohair1]

It felt more like Resident Evil 2

[@marikotrue3488]

I agree Rampage was better, but it had Dwayne Johnson. While Chris Pratt is no slouch in the CHARM department, he does not have the golden shimmer that is Dwayne Johnson.

[@TheOnyxian]

Well, that first 38 seconds is time I won't get back. Thanks Bob...

[@shawndiaz7528]

Mark Kent every second is time you won't get back. Bob is not responsible for the linear nature of time

[@Nickman826]

Mark Kent you didn't need the time anyway

[@epbrown01]

So skip Fallen Kingdom and you're still coming out 7,642 seconds ahead...

[@AlexGreat321]

My friend didn't want to see Rampage because he said it looked cheesy but is going to see this lol. (I'll probably watch it anyway)
