15 Reasons Jurassic World Was Absolutely Perfect

10. It's Scary And Violent As Hell

Speaking of scary, holy crap is this movie violent. Any concern that Colin Trevorrow would dumb things down to make this all more family friendly goes out the window practically right away, and he's not afraid to get super dark here. Like, shockingly dark. 

Loads of people die, and they die violent, horrible deaths. There's one death in particular that is just so insane and over the top that it's hard not to laugh. It just keeps going and going and just when you think the person's about to be put out of their mercy, it goes on a little bit more. This is a freaking brutal movie that deals with the consequences of out of control eating machines head on.

And that's just awesome. The original film was pretty brutal too for a PG-13 summer blockbuster in 1993. Remember the lovable character played by Samuel L. Jackson getting eaten and having his arm be the only part left? Or the dude being freaking lifted up off the toilet and violently chewed to death? How about when Wayne Knight is sprayed in the eyes and screams horribly as he's eaten alive? 

Jurassic World follows in that legacy, and just like Jurassic Park, once things kick into gear, they never let up until the credits roll. This thing is going to give a whole new generation of kids nightmares for weeks.
