Jurassic World: 10 Things That Completely Ruined Fallen Kingdom

4. Repeating Moments And Plots From Jurassic World

Although Jurassic World was a solid revitalising of the franchise, it was undoubtedly so successful because it was such a thorough trip down memory lane. The film had a new story, sure, but it directly lifted certain plot elements and scenes from the original Jurassic Park, relying heavily on the nostalgia audiences still have for that iconic blockbuster.

In a way that was exactly what the film needed to be, though, a reminder that viewers love this world for more than just the spectacle of seeing dinosaurs on the big screen. With that already established, then, there was no reason at all for Fallen Kingdom's over-reliance on repeating plots and set-pieces from previous movies.

Most tragically, a lot of them are retreads of beats from Jurassic World. Between the evil geneticists betraying the heroes, the creation of the latest, deadliest dinosaur, and the strained relationship between Claire and Owen, fans have seen it all before, three years ago.
