The first hour of this movie was so jam-packed with product placement, it felt like an extended commercial. The self-referential comments about Pepsi-saurus etc. felt like a shot in the eye every time a MERCEDES or STARBUCKS or SAMSUNG or etc. etc etc. graced the screen. By doing the exact thing your characters are criticizing, you become a hypocrite and it's akin to a big […] to the audience - one that totally took me out of the movie.
The plot was stupid, and all the characters were underdeveloped, flat cliches of things we've seen in the past. I could go on about the plot-holes and terrible resolution to the story, but it's a dumb action movie and I guess you're expected to suspend disbelief for a couple hours.
Ultimately, it's a kid's movie... and maybe my disappointment has something to do with the thrill I felt watching the original when I was 8. I didn't feel Jurassic World was as inspired or 'magical' as the original was 20 years ago. It was simply a re-hash of the same old story, nothing new... just a bland attempt at bigger, scarier, and more teeth.
