REVIEW:

When it comes to being an intelligent and thought-provoking summer blockbuster, "Jurassic World" is the farthest thing from it.  From an unnecessary subplot involving the nephews of Bryce Dallas Howard's character to Vincent D'onofrio playing the cliched "corrupt businessman" who becomes the main human antagonist, this movie is as silly and as ridiculous as one may expect in this day and age.  Having said that, I enjoyed every little second of its ridiculousness and overall found myself oozing of joy in how over the top and fun this film is.  This is Hollywood's answer to "Can summer movies embrace their stupidity and have fun with it?" for 2015.  Chris Pratt and Dallas Howard are so entertaining here, the action is a lot of fun to watch, and the designs of the dinosaurs and the park, while obviously made by a visual effects department, are pretty solid to say the least.  There are so many intelligent summer films out there, including "Inside Out" and "Avengers: Age of Ultron," that it's nice to be able to shut the brain off for a solid two hours.  "Jurassic World" is a bonafide popcorn film that is a boat load of fun to watch in a theater with a bunch of friends around you.

Hello viewers of this blog,

Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
