"Independent Telegram," Sixty Points, "Colin Trevorrow, like most genre film directors, they can find the bottom line of commercial films, but when trying to move to a higher level, But always lost himself in the balance between stupidity and serious mastery."

"Daily News", Sixty Points, "It could have been worse, but thank God Renly-Hall saved this work; unfortunately, Renly was not able to escape the panic and fear of the dinosaur chase, The final product of the film is barely a pass mark.”

"Vanity Fair", 60 points, "The movie is interesting enough to keep the audience's attention to the end; but after watching the movie, you can realize that it is far from the connotation and depth of the script. The problem is not that Whether dinosaurs are fresh and vivid, it is not enough to rely on dinosaurs alone. The only correct choice is the appearance of Renly Hall. His existence makes the movie more possible. I am willing to go to the cinema of the sequel for him - provided that, He'll still be on the cast for the sequel."

"The Washington Post," Sixty Points, "It's hard to tell if 'Jurassic World' wants to be popcorn-style junk food, or if it wants to go a step further. Colin Trevorrow tries to get to the bottom of the theme Try more at the level and the problem is, he seems to want to try too much."

"Chicago Sun," Sixty Points, "There must be one in every three Americans willing to walk into a movie theater to watch 'Jurassic World,' they can find exactly what they want to see, no More and less. Sadly, that 'not much' part was a letdown. It's a Renly Hall film and we're looking forward to seeing more, in addition to his acting There are more valuable things."

Los Angeles Times, Sixty Points, "'Jurassic World' looks like a smash hit, it has all the ingredients for a movie to blow up the box office, seriousness and humor, characters and story, and, of course, There's a popcorn-esque thrill where everything is smashed together in a blender; but does the jumble of pieces really keep the audience looking forward? Renly Hall is still the best part of the movie, But that's all there is to it."

After a rough scan, it is not difficult to find that there are not a few media that give middle reviews, and there are many authoritative people such as the "Los Angeles Times" and "Chicago Sun".

A variety of viewpoints have a little similarity, and the rich and complex cores are not able to be discussed further, and ultimately make the film stay at a level of no more, no more, no less, sometimes, this means balance; And sometimes, it means moderation — obviously, Jurassic World falls into the latter category.

When Renly got the script, he put forward a similar point of view: the script is too ambitious, many branches are scattered, and there are too many issues to discuss, but all of them are only scratches of the water, not in-depth, which also makes Those thoughts that stay lukewarm can instead lead to distraction for the audience.

Later, the script was adjusted according to Renly's ideas, and the relationship between Owen and Blair was used as a dark thread to connect related thinking about using dinosaurs as weapons of war. Colin Trevorrow is still not willing to give up the foreshadowing of those branch lines, which also causes the theme of the movie to be slightly complicated, which affects the viewing experience.

Naturally, this has become the focus of critics' attacks.

But Andy thought it was very interesting.

First of all, when Renly took over the script, he raised relevant opinions and raised concerns about the quality of the finished film; and the current media reaction just confirms Renly's evaluation, which once again proves Renly's unique interpretation of the script .

Second, if you carefully browse the content of the negative and medium reviews, it is not difficult to find that the negative reviews mainly focus on the scheduling and control of the entire movie, which is also the most important part of commercial popcorn movies. If you can't catch the audience's attention If it is too powerful, then everything will be in vain; while the central review mainly focuses on the interpretation and expression of the core, which is the key for commercial films to become excellent from the pass level. The audience is not only stimulated, but also looking forward to being able to Get more experience.

The fact that "Titanic" and "Avatar" can create miracles in film history is definitely not that simple. Obviously expecting more from Jurassic World.

So, can "Jurassic World" bring more

For this question, we have to look at the opinions of the favorable media - the lower limit is determined by the negative review, and the upper limit is determined by the favorable review.

'Empire', ninety-five points, ''Jurassic World' is a popcorn comedy of pure, goofy, wall-banging joy, and when you come in and take over the 3D glasses, you can temporarily store your brain in Baggage, then take it back when you leave. The entertainment effect is comparable to the 'Avengers' three years ago, and even more commendable is that Renly Hall's charm is enough to make up for the number advantage of the six original Avengers ."

"The Hollywood Reporter," Ninety Points, "Trevor has done an excellent job, every link is correct, with admirable rhythm control throughout; Trevor can be felt through the movie's big screen If you try to pay homage to the urgent desire of Spielberg's 1993 work that turned out, and he succeeds. The most beautiful part is undoubtedly the comprehensive scheduling of the climax, the audience will not forget the blue color while lamenting the excitement of the dinosaur showdown. Eli Hall's important presence."

"The New York Times," Ninety Points, "'Jurassic World' is a work desperately needed this summer. It's not as esoteric as 'Interstellar' or 'Gravity,' and it doesn't present anything new content; however, when all the contradictions and conflicts come together and collide with a precious spark, the full burst of adrenaline can make the audience enjoy the thrill of blood and violence, and the accurate performance of the actors is also a highlight."

"Variety", 88 points, "There is no doubt that this work inherits many advantages of Spielberg's version of 'Jurassic Park': rich imagination, exciting sense of horror and a trace of reflection on human beings, and Crafted from a fresh perspective for the twenty-first century, a bucket of creamy popcorn. Is it perfect? Of course not; is it worth going to a movie theater? A hundred would."

"The New Yorker," Eighty-Five, "No matter what you're going to say about 'Jurassic World,' the film's stunning visual effects are enough to keep viewers focused, allowing viewers to briefly escape reality and enter In our own imagination of the unknown, and eclipsed those films that lack fantasy and dreams. And the best part is that it can awaken our love and enthusiasm for movie magic, which is enough to prove many things. "

"Village Voice," 83 points, "It's a fresh and exciting movie, with every little detail that reminds people of the existence of the original series, but it's definitely not a botched remake or copy, Trevorrow Injecting fresh imagination and bold new interpretations into the film, maybe it's not destined to create a whole new world like it did twenty-two years ago, but at least it's a good start to the series reboot."

The Guardian, Eighty-Three, "Perfect for a summer break: fun, refreshing, exciting, thrilling, even a little ridiculously weird, with a witty twist. We can also ask for What? Plus, Renly Hall still shines."

"Chicago Tribune", 80%, "If you just need a reason to go to the cinema, then Renly Hall can meet all your requirements for a movie, without a doubt, this is his most charming work, Even the dinosaurs are his foil; if you need more reasons, the dinosaurs should be a plus."

"U.S. Weekly", 80%, "Twenty years after dinosaurs dominated Earth's cinemas, can we still temporarily put down our mobile phones for two hours to let go of those feel-good ridicule and lofty feelings, and frankly admit that we are still Shocked and sighed by the existence of the crowd? Trevorrow, who is apparently unwavering in his belief, whose sincerity and focus make every viewer willing to admit and drink a little. Hall, he makes this point of view more convincing."

Obviously, positive reviews are more objective and more forgiving: for commercial films, they do not make unrealistic requirements harshly, but evaluate at the level of market demand - after all, this is not "Interstellar", they can Expect more from Christopher Nolan, but Colin Trevorrow and Universal weren't prepared to dig deep at the core, so there's no point.

What's more, from "Jurassic Park" to "Jurassic World", the audience never walked into the movie theater because "the movie explored the relationship between humans and dinosaurs", just like "Great White Shark" The real classic is definitely not about the importance of protecting the natural environment in general.

All the positive reviews have reached a consensus: On top of the rhythm control and the climax, "Jurassic World" does meet the requirements, and even a small surprise. As for the details, everyone has their own feelings, which leads to the difference in ratings, but it does not affect the excellence of the movie.

The most interesting part is not a compliment about Renly, but a point from a detailed New York Times review:

Renly Hall once spent a lot of time discussing and revising the script with Colin Trevorrow. The lengthy and cumbersome branch lines were cut a lot, reducing a little ambition, and forcing the script to be more concise and clear, which undoubtedly improved the quality of the finished product. A step up; in addition, the emotional interaction between Renly and Bryce also lays the groundwork, allowing the story to be extended, which is another detail worth paying attention to.
