Verdict: Slightly better than the first installment of this new trilogy, "Fallen Kingdom" is still lightyears away from the quality of the original "Jurassic Park". Despite containing some interestingly well-shot scenes, it still suffered from a more than mediocre script filled with conveniences, cheese, and laughable twists that don't fit at all with the story. Some characters didn't need to exist and were added either for comedic relief, which felt a bit awkward, or for exposition purposes. I felt like "Fallen Kingdom" got worse with time, and will most likely disappoint fans of the original. 

Final Grade: 5/10
