    I don’t think movies/series like Jurassic XYZ, Fast & Furious, Transformers, etc. exist to please the critics. Of course, movie critics are going to watch and review the summer’s biggest movies (out of love for their job or their job security).

    Having read the article, it seems like the author’s expectation is for critics to have a different (lower?) set of standards for reviewing these movies.

    However, I am sure critics already give the leeway that such movies warrant, and that this movie (and many others like this) just didn’t fare well even for those standards.

    Honestly this reads like a butt hurt fanboy that’s upset that other people are wanting more from the movie going experience than the same corporate paint by numbers mediocrity.

    Yes professional critics are going to watch the move regardless if they like it or not. It’s their job to review movies. They are obligated to go. Telling them it’s their fault for going to see the movie and giving it a bad review is just dumb.

      Surprisingly little of that, sadly. Also, subtract a few fatalities because the creature technically isn’t a dinosaur.

      My wife dragged me to go see this film. She seen them all in theaters. Its wasn’t great, but wasn’t terrible either. I say it was okay and I will probably watch again. The last one sucked though.

    I mean, there’s maybe a point in there, but the writer is just such an asshole I wasn’t willing to read the whole thing to see if there was
