JURASSIC WORLD : FALLEN KINGDOM - Isla Nublar is no more !

JURASSIC WORLD : FALLEN KINGDOM

It's been three years since we last saw these dinosaurs. The Jurassic World park has been destroyed, and the dinos were left by humans to fend for themselves. Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) were hired to go back to Isla Nublar to save the remaining dinosaurs before an active volcano erupts and destroys the whole island. But alas, there's a hidden agenda in saving the extinct animals.

This is the fifth in the Jurassic series, but there's still plenty of action and adventure with these prehistoric creatures. And there's more terrifying scenes ! Finally the dinos are off the island.

Chris Pratt brings the same charm and swagger in most of his film, while Bryce Dallas Howard is more likable here. Funny how the camera focused on her heals on her very first scene. New characters Dr. Zia, the techie boy Franklin, and the little girl Maisie are good additions to the franchise. Fans of the original trilogy would be thrilled to see Jeff Goldblum's Dr. Ian Malcolm. But he wasn't given much to do except for a short cameo.

All-in-all this is an enjoyable film that has plenty of action pieces and horror scenes. Stay for the post-credit scene where they'll take the dinos for Jurassic World 3. Co-written by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly. Directed by J. A. Bayona. Rated PG-13.

DEADPOOL 2 - A Great Sequel !

DEADPOOL 2

After the resounding success of his debut outing, the fourth-wall breaking anti-hero returns for more adventures. The first one gave us a superhero like no other. He's the funniest in the Marvel universe; heck, he's the funniest of them all  ! This time he is faced with the super soldier from the future - Nathan Summers a.k.a. Cable. Cable travelled to the present time to eliminate a young mutant who grew up to kill Cable's family. It's up to the merc with a mouth to try and stop the formidable cyborg.

Wade Wilson tried to recruit more heroes, which he called X Force, to form his own mutant group and protect the young mutant from Cable. But the results didn't turn out as expected. From the group stood out Domino (Zazie Beetz), whose super power is being lucky. 

Ryan Reynolds is once again in his element here, with his perfect comedic timing, and ability to poke fun at everything. While Josh Brolin who played the Mad Titan Thanos in Avengers : Infinity War, is now Cable - the genetically- enhanced soldier who's out on a mission. Brolin fits his role to a T.

I wouldn't say that this is a better film than the first one - it's just as great ! But there's definitely more action in it, and more characters to deal with.

Written by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Ryan Reynolds. Directed by David Leitch (John Wick, Atomic Blond). Rated R. From 20th Century Fox. Note : Stay for the mid-credit scenes.
