It doesn't.

And idk, despite that infamous quote, I don't really see anything "chaotic" about the Giga

Spoiler:
After watching the second trailer, my theory is that Owen is going to die saving baby blue and part of Ian and Allan Grants character arcs is them bringing baby blue back to Momma blue at the end, blue mourns Owen's death while Allan and Ian learn to realize not all raptors/dinosaurs are evil abominations.
GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that.

Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.

Idk, I saw people around the internet claiming this is the one that will flop. Not sure why they didn’t learn after they said that for the first two

Haters going to hate. But I do remember some negative reviews for the for st part of this trilogy. One of which on DRUDGE REPORT saying the flick would tank so hard, that it would takw the studio down with it.

I'm seven episodes into S4 of Camp Cretaceous. Each one manages to be dumber than the last. It's impressive, in its way.

Came back from the movie and my frank opinion is that it ranks as one of the worst in the entire series.

Well damn. Care to elaborate? I felt burned by the last Jurassic World but was kinda on the fence about this one.

Alright, my curiosity has peaked. What's the problems that this film has?

Let me guess. Both humans and dinosaurs eventually learns to co-exist at the end? :lol:

Alright, so spoilers:
Spoiler:
While the previous films revolved around dinosaurs, this one revolves around stopping a bio-engineered killer locust swarm which has dino DNA spliced into them. The problem is that the movie is so foucused on the locusts that the dinos have the most diminished roles out of all the six movies. A bunch of new dino species are introduced, but they are mostly wasted in the background and the ones that do play a role have zero influence on the main plot (except for the Dilophosaurus that eats Dodgson, the human baddie of the movie)

The final battle was the biggest crap I had seen in the entire series, it's way worse than the much-criticized JP3 Spino vs T-Rex battle. It shares its flaws with KOTM, which is that the camera cuts away to the human cast too often, so you can only barely tell what's going on with the dinos fighting in the background. But it's actually worse because the whole sequence is disappointingly short, there are no memorable shots and the big bad dino(Giganotosaurus) gets killed off abruptly.

Therizinosaurus basically appears out of nowhere and just helps the Rex, no explanation as to why he's only attacking the Giga and not the Rex. After the battle they actually strike a pose together like they're buddies or something, which I thought was pretty weird because they had zero interaction before that final sequence.

Speaking of the Giga, his presence in the whole film is disappointingly short, like he was added in at the last minute. He doesn't even get a single kill.

The plot isn't very convincing as well. For example, the movie ends with dinosaurs peacefully co-existing with humanity which had me going WTF? They spend two hours showing how hyper-aggressive these dinos are, and suddenly it's okay to live alongside them? Every single carnivore is depicted as a freaking killing machine that's out to kill every single person it sees, and one of the Pterosaurs actually tear down a plane. Even Blue the Raptor, who's one of the 'friendlier' carnivores, attacks everything on sight that isn't Chris Pratt. There's going to be hundreds of casualties every day.

Henry Wu gets off easy with only a broken arm, which to me also didn't make any sense. He's suddenly the good guy, despite being the same person who's responsible for hundreds of deaths in the previous films.

There are some good parts, like the Malta chase scene with the Atrociraptors which was pretty fun. And there are some nice tributes to the OG trilogy, but none of them are too memorable. It was good to see the OG trio again, but beyond that, the movie is pretty boring. Nothing original, just a rehash of the themes/scenes that were in the previous five movies. The whole movie feels more like a spinoff with a plot that leads nowhere rather than a grand finale to the series.

None, except for the OG trio (Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm). The rest are all characters that appeared in the previous JW movies or newly introduced in this movie.
