Jurassic World Reviews: 10 Early Reactions You Need To Know
10. Chris Pratt Is Amazing...
While it goes without saying that the real hook to lure people into the cinema for Jurassic World is the dinosaurs, without a compelling and likeable leading man audiences will have nothing to ground them in the action. Special effects and action alone does not make for a great movie. Sam Neill's Dr. Alan Grant fulfilled this role perfectly in the original trilogy, and for Jurassic World it's another opportunity for Chris Pratt to show off his A-list credentials. Despite having only recently broken through into the mainstream, Pratt's good looks and effortless charm have won over millions of fans, and it's great to hear that, when it comes to the human characters in Jurassic World, his presence lights up every scene. One early review describes Pratt as the "perfect blend of Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm", building on the likeable swagger he brought to Guardians Of The Galaxy. It was always unlikely that he'd be terrible, but what of the rest of the cast?
