Jurassic World: 10 Reasons It's The Worst Movie In The Franchise

4. They Anthropomorphised The Dinosaurs

If there's a pleasing consistency to all three previous Jurassic films, it can be found in the fact that the dinosaurs' characters are never compromised. These are animals of varying distinct, interesting personalities, but all remain animals nonetheless, completely separate from mankind. One of the great ideas in Jurassic World is that the highly intelligent Raptors may respond to human influence, that they may be domesticated and potentially used in warfare. Though it is - like so many of the good concepts in Jurassic World - discarded fairly quickly just so Trevorrow can get back to creating scenes of mayhem, it's something bold and original that works. That is until Jurassic World begins to anthropomorphise the Velociraptors, killing everything that made the creatures interesting dead on the spot. As Owen gazes into the eyes of one of his Raptors after the defeat of the Indominus Rex, and it gazes back, indicating they now have an 'understanding' of one another, the Raptors cease being the franchise's most threatening opponent altogether.
