Raptors, which were a hugely threatening presence in the original film, are just commonplace pets now. There’s no danger anymore; the mystery is stripped away.
did you go to the bathroom during the scenes where they were very close to eating the guy that fell into the habitat and tore apart an InGen strike team?
You mean the scene right before they were talked down by their trainer? And right after they were being trained by their trainer? And the scene that is super early in the movie and had no build-up?

talked down by a trainer they were ready to eat and lunged at before he indian jones'd it under a closing gate? yes. The raptors still presented a very real danger, but it was just that were tentatively on "our side"

I didn't even mention how all the best actors in this movie are completely wasted. D'Onofrio is the only one that gets to do anything.

Why is there literally one scene when the younger brother breaks down about how he thinks his parents are getting a divorce? That was never alluded to previously, and is never referenced again. It says nothing about any of the characters. It’s meaningless thematically. And it doesn’t even jell with what we see of the parents: there is never any hint of discord in the brief moments we see them together.
The parents obviously had some acrimony when sending the kids off and made comments like "lets just get through this," so it was previously alluded to, but it doesn't really pay off because the kids being in mortal danger brings them back together apparently.
Extrapolating kid-stress comments like that to marital acrimony is a bit of a stretch.

it wasn't kid stress comments; she was very biting towards the husband. There was acrimony between them.

Even if that were true (which I still think is a stretch), the impact of this on the kids or how it relates to their characterization is not explored at all. The movie is full of lazy, unearned allusions to familial themes, but it's all meaningless and disjointed. And it's never related to the movie's larger conflict.

it really isn't a stretch, it was pretty clear to me. I don't disagree that this movie was messy, but at least make your points about things that are actually true about the movie.

how about that ending?

I do remember thinking the divorce thing was unnecessary and that some of Bryce's backstory must have went on the cutting room floor. None of it bothered me really. The boys rang true for me.

It was so boring and lazy...and this is the last movie right? I can't imagine the plot for Jurassic World 2.

Considering it's like the fifth highest grossing movie of all time, I'm sure there will be more. Hopefully someone else directs the next one.
