Is such a tribute really the right choice?

Is such a tribute really the right choice? After watching this "annual anticipation movie", the first reaction is that the director and screenwriter plan to save trouble... If you love the Jurassic series very much, you will find that the film is basically "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic Park" 2: A combined version of The Lost World. The story line is equivalent to a highly enhanced version of "The Lost World", and the overall structure remains basically unchanged. Same story, same field. It is no different from the task that John Hammond entrusted to Malcolm. In terms of plot, the relationship between John Hammond and the Lockwood family is described too lightly, and Lockwood is in a central area in this film, and he wants the audience to understand Lockwood, but does not seriously tell the relationship between the two families. Relationship. The introduction of Lockwood's granddaughter's life experience, most people can't react... And in terms of story tribute, I really don't think this is a so-called "salutation". The amber on Lockwood's crutches (bigger than Hammond's), Maisie pulling down the elevator door with her hands, the tyrannical raptor hooking Maisie's quilt, the Tyrannosaurus' final shocking roar, etc... Too many tributes, but instead Lose that old feeling. After all, this is the second part of "Jurassic World", and it's really not a good way to tell stories blindly by paying tribute. It's also the transfer of dinosaurs from the island (then Sona Island) to the mainland, and Spielberg's "Lost World" story is more accurate as a director. If the story of "Jurassic World 2" came out in the form of a standalone film, it would be much better than the identity of the sequel film. There are two scenes in the movie that moved me very much, one is the groaning of Wanlong on the ferry when escaping from Nublar Island and the helplessness of the protagonists on the boat. Another is Owen's memory and reference to reality when he was treating Blue, which really touched me, seeing the feelings and empathy between humans and dinosaurs. In general, this movie is less like a product of 3 years, more like a work that came out in a hurry. Instead of filming like this, stop and take a hard look at the series. Life will find its way. For the Jurassic franchise, where is the way out for sequel movies?

    Dinosaurs are the only animals in this movie that have a little bit of IQ, and the identification is complete.

    The whole film is as bloated and boring as the figures of the two protagonists, but I didn't expect Bayona to have so many personal labels.
