	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Though [Bayona] does a competent job in 'Fallen Kingdom', keeping the action thrusting forward, there’s not much he can do to transcend the script (...) which is a kind of furrowed-brow disaster-movie pastiche."	NEU
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"[It frees] itself from the genre trappings of the previous four films (...) If future installments are this rich and exciting, that's probably going to be a while."	POS
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"[It] is a more thoughtful and interesting film than its immediate predecessor (...) [Bayona] crafts something clever and goofy and jumpy."	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"The less you try to dissect it, the more you’ll enjoy it (...) 'Fallen Kingdom' is exactly the kind of escapist summer behemoth you want it to be."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"'Fallen Kingdom' is a frustrating display of overconfidence (...) Fleeting moments of inspired filmmaking can’t overshadow the broader tendency of this material to sag into stupidity."	NEG
United States	Rafer Guzmán Newsday	"Well-made thriller with dark undertones (...) 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' packs a lot into its two-hour running time (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Gav Murphy IGN	"'Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom' opens with one of the most exciting set pieces of the year and from there it barely stops for breath as we’re bounced from a huge, high-stakes disaster film to a claustrophobic gothic horror."	POS
United States	Matt Singer Screen Crush	"The Park is gone. So is any semblance of logic. (...) This isn’t just a film you need to 'turn off your brain' to enjoy; nothing less than surgically removing your brain from your body would do the trick."	NEG
United States	Bilge Ebiri Village Voice	"Is better than 'Jurassic World' and yet still somehow not Good. (...) There are missed opportunities all over 'Fallen Kingdom'."	NEU
United States	Dave White The Wrap	"The major problem with 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' (...) is that the makers treat the action and suspense sequences in the way most of us go to the dentist"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The plot is contrived, the characters fatigued, the cliches abundant – and the beasties t-rexecrable (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Hollywood finds a way to make dinosaurs boring (...) Barely coherent (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"The film has such momentum that we hardly notice the holes in the plotting (...) The film ends on a graceful note"	POS
United Kingdom	David D'Arcy Screendaily	"A roller coaster that you’ve ridden many times (...) Howard and Pratt are genre-solid in the leads"	NEU
United Kingdom	Matt Chapman Digital Spy	"A perfectly enjoyable franchise entry – just one that lacks the bite of previous outings (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Canada	Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"A fun ride full of adventure - and scares - that builds on the mythology of Jurassic Park in very interesting ways. (...) a more mature and fully realized vision than Jurassic World"	POS
