Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Not half as amateurish as the first JW, and it even has one legit great extended sequence (starting with meeting Blue all the way through the volcano exploding and then the escape from the island), but once that is over, it moves to a big mansion for the rest of the movie and goes through all the same tired old beats over and over - meddling scientists, greedy suits who get their gruesome comeuppance, some associate of Hammond popping out of the woodwork (the one in this film is so similar to Hammond that I was pretty sure he was going to turn out to be a clone), getting saved from one dinosaur when it gets attacked by another, and just endlessly getting chased around small rooms getting snapped at through handy clutter by raptor-type dinos.
The very ending was pretty sweet, though, even if it was pure sequel set-up.
Rating: Bad
