1.Jurassic World (2015)
The first two Jurassic series are classic; no doubt about it. The third movie is a tragedy. It even gave me an impression that there was really no need for any more Jurassic movies. The new sequel is ok, but not good enough to be a reboot to the series.
Should have been different:
There is no suspension in this movie. The writer left nothing for the audience to figure out for themselves. Everything is explained through a blatant exposition. Really not necessary to be smart to understand the movie. Thus the movie is somehow boring. But it is fine, I don’t expect a fourth movie to come even close to the glory of the original.
The Characters are poorly written. That’s the most disappointing part. But I am expecting the wrong thing, it is a dinosaur movie: people should be expecting dinosaurs doing things throughout the movie, characters don’t matter at all.
What I think good about it:
The writer obviously gave up trying too hard to vow the audience, which actually resulted in a movie flowing in a smooth way.
The leading actor is the type of person I like.
The girl is pretty, but seriously, running in those high heels to survive from dinosaurs? They do need to change the stereotype. I am not impressed anymore.
Overall, it is an entertaining movie. A little bit of everything together. The technical part is better (seemingly it burned lots of money).
2. Sin City 2
The original Sin City surprised me in many way. Stylish! Stylish is the key for the original. But this second movie is such a substantial disappointment except the leading actress: what an acting! One big question I have: what is the purpose of the story of Joseph?
In a word: eyeball-gougings and finger-breakings are rather mundane this time.
Maybe I should stop watching any sequels to any series.
