Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
I honestly can't believe how badly rated this film is and it actually took my expectations down, maybe that's why I liked it more than I thought I would, but I did not think this film was terrible by any means. Much better than JP3 and JW imo and the direction they go in this film is where the series should of gone AFTER JP1.
I just wanna point out that some of the criticisms that people have with this film (and essentially all the other sequels), are also problems JP 1 has as well.

Little girl being used to serve the plot. Maisie and releasing the dinosaurs - Lex and her hacking skill
One note cartoony villain who's only motivation is money. Mills - Nedry
T-Rex makes a huge noise on the boat and nobody notices - Dilo just teleport into Nedry's vehicle without him hearing it

So I won't be putting those down as reasons to criticize this film as it would make me a hypocrite.
My main problem with the film is taking moments (moments, I am not referring to plot points. Plot points are reused in many films some which aren't even related to one another. Moments on the other hand give films character and they really should of came up with new ones here instead of rehashes to give this film its own feel) from the first movie and it reused them (this is a criticism I had with JW as well), like blatantly and without style.I liked what the film was trying to go for and how it ends. It sets up a lot of possibilities which I actually am excited to see where they go with these ideas. Other than that it's main plot points are discount The Lost World which is what I feared. On the other hand the messages and what eventually happens in this film is what should of happened in TLW. It's this weird situation where a sequel before this did almost everything here better, but on the other hand it didn't go in the direction that this film does in the end. In other words this films existence makes me resent TLW which really hurts because I do actually quite enjoy TLW, but this film's ending is miles better than TLWs and it actually sets up a sequel nicely and gives a great premise for said sequel unlike TLW.
Also I just wanna laugh at the fact that this film has an after credits scene like they think this franchise has the same dedicated following as the MCU. They may always have my money for eternity, but that is not the case for everybody. Also this post credit scene is completely unnecessary because the message it gets across is one we already got in the main ending of the movie.

Maybe now that the dinosaurs are back on the main land maybe they'll get their heads out of their asses and bring back Dr. Grant finally for christ sakes he's the one thing that made JP3 bearable for me. Hell have dinosaurs show up at a dig site of his or something. It gives a actual reason for him to be around Dinosaurs again that makes sense.

Also sue me I teared up at a certain scene with a brachiosaurus in it....easily the best scene in the film and was the one scene taken from JP1 with a nice tragic spin put on it.

. We had a TV movie version here about 10 years ago that was apparently pretty awful, and so is the recent film I understand.
