Fallen Kingdom is a real mixed bag for me, I loved the action sequences and the SFX were incredible, and there were a lot of thrilling moments, with some semi cheesy plot points and lines of dialogue. But the villains are so awful, Rafe Spall and Toby Jones are hamming it up so much at the end, Ted Levine is just so bad, but the Indoraptor was cool. The script/screenplay is also pretty weak, some baffling character choices occur in the second half. Characterization was fine, better than Jurassic World. I had a lot of fun with Fallen Kingdom but it is very flawed.

Damn, what an outstanding performance from Charlize Theron, whose performance is so full on and physical, she completely owns this role and deserves that Oscar, Christina Ricci is also strong in the supporting role, these two characters are what make Monster work so well. The whole movie relies on these two characters having a strong bond throughout, and seeing that bond fall apart when things get ugly. I thought Patty Jenkins' direction was also very strong and the soundtrack was great.
