Interestingly, Trevorrow says this one takes influence from Bourne and Bond:

Never would have thought the worlds of Jurassic Park and James Bond would cross over, stylistically anyway, but you can already see some of that influence in the trailers.

This is the same damn talking point J.J. Abrams used when propping up Khan as the Joker of the Star Trek franchise for INTO DARKNESS.
JUST.
STOP.
Confused reporter: "You warned the Gigantosaurus?"
Jack Nicholson: *smiles and shrugs*
It shows a lot.
It really has become quite ridiculous at this point though should be a fun ride.
I have seen a few reactions to the film, one stated its very far removed from the original at this point. I am still looking forward to it though, I still watch the so called bad films in the series.
Guess I'll find out soon enough!
It's frickin dinosaurs eating people. What sort of story is expected?
Well, yes, I agree, lol. There are some semblances of deeper storylines along the way: Hammond coming to terms with his failed ambitions and Grant warming up to kids in the first Jurassic Park vs. Owen bonding with his raptors and Claire learning to put family over work in the first Jurassic World. Arguably the non-dinosaurs-eating-people storylines in Jurassic Park were more compelling than those in Jurassic World. But I agree with you. I watch the Jurassic World movies for the spectacle, not the storylines.
Sounds like they couldn’t think of a way to use the concept so just put a baddie in.
This, pretty much. I don't know if people were weeping in the cinema aisle as John Hammond told his flea circus story, or if tissues were required when Dr Grant overcame his mild aversion to children, but at the end of the day, these are monster movies, and all five have delivered brilliantly in that respect. My favorites are actually JPIII, which absolutely killed it in terms of setpieces and humor, and Jurassic World, which really has its cake and eats it in the way it satirizes itself so thoroughly while still delivering the goods.
I think, as Neill suggests, the film would have been better received if it had had a proper climax. As it is, things just kind of peter out. After the river scene, the raptors show up, they hand over the eggs, and they all call it a day. The film really is missing a climax. But it does have some terrific scenes, like the first time the raptors show up and the aviary scene.
It also doesn’t have a moral message: the first film is at least about something, 3 is just a monster movie. But I agree that it’s a lot of fun and much pacier and fresher than Lost World, which annoyed me a bit as it felt like Spielberg’s heart wasn’t in it to me. Probably only the glass cracking and the cornfield felt like he was invested.
Agreed, wasn't really blown away.
