Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - 12 Stupidest Moments In The Dumbest Jurassic Park Movie Ever

9. The Hilariously Bad Product Placement (Again)

Jurassic World was ripped to shreds for its aggressively blatant product placement, from the absurd shot of Owen (Chris Pratt) holding a Coke bottle to the camera, to the car chases shot like fancy Mercedes commercials, to the cake-and-eat-it joke about "Verizon Wireless Presents: The Indominus Rex", and placements for the various storefronts situated on Jurassic World. It's only funny and ironic if you don't get paid for it, guys.

Though Fallen Kingdom is nowhere near as bad as its predecessor in this regard, what with the park being destroyed and quickly engulfed in lava, there are still a ton of on-the-nose paid products featured.

From Becks and Budweiser beers featuring prominently when Claire recruits Owen for the job at a bar, to numerous coffee brands appearing throughout and Apple computers certainly getting their money's worth, it's once again a case of a movie not being content enough to just clean up at the box office. It has to greedily try and offset as much of its budget as possible before release. Gross.
