I will start off saying this is probably my 3rd favorite Jurassic Park movie (after Jurassic Park 1 and 2).
I believe that all the characters in this movie wear excellently executed. If you are worried about them butchering the original characters then don’t worry. Also the new characters were quite likable and were well executed. And the returning Jurassic World characters had the perfect level of involvement. Also Henry Wu had such a good character arc.
I felt like the nostalgia and references were done great. They didn’t take over the movie, but we’re still epic. I would say a great example of this is the main villains death.
My main gripe with the movie (and why it is 4/5 and not 5/5) is that there isn’t enough meaningful death. Only a 2 named characters die. There is a bit of background death, but barely any main character death. I’m still debating if they should if killed any of the main characters because I like all there endings, but I feel like they should of done something. Maybe the 2nd in command because he was very likable. Also they should of definitely killed the Lazer lady.
The story of pretty good for a Jurassic Park movie. It felt good and tense. I wouldn’t change anything big about the actual plot points.
Overall the movie had good characters and story, but not enough meaningful death.
