10 Movies That Should’ve Ended 5 Minutes Earlier

5. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Matchstick Men

Have we learned NOTHING from all the previous movies? Nothing at all?

In complete earnest we get Ian Malcolm in the final moments of Fallen Kingdom telling us that we just need to learn to live with the dinosaurs otherwise they’ll wipe us out and, in the same breath, the film shows us a surfer about to meet his death being chomped by a mosasaur. It seems very much that if we just live with them then we’re all buggered.

The last five minutes of the film are just big sweeping shots of the dinosaurs incorporating themselves into nature as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. Rather than, say, something that would entirely destabilise every habitat on the planet and also just wipe us out within like two years.

“These creatures were here before us and if we’re not careful they’re gonna be here after.” Yeah, obviously. So why are we not doing anything about it? Chris Pratt is just releasing his little friend out into the wild as if it’s not gonna start gulping neighbourhood cats at a frankly alarming rate.

The whole film is frustrating enough without these final few minutes of absolute rubbish.
