Do you guys prefer Jurassic World or Fallen Kingdom?

I just watched them both again for the first time in a while. If Fallen Kingdom had more Isla Nublar stuff and the first half was dragged out more, I think it might be better than JW. However, the second half of the movie in the mansion dragged it down for me.

Watching JW again, it seemed to lose the JP feel and themes. I ran through the first five movies again recently and didn’t like it as much as I remembered. Just seemed too much like a generic blockbuster, and wasn’t as intelligent or scary or cool as previous ones. It seemed like they had great ideas for the overall plot, but when it came to details of it, they just threw in whatever they thought would look exciting. Still a great movie, but not as good as I remembered.

The way the movies are, I’d rank them in release order. I remember coming out of the theater with my friend in 2018 though and saying that it was the second best, behind JP. I later reconsidered and decided it was only better than Dominion, but by a great margin.

Anyway, thoughts?
