I did not like how they treated any of the characters... The old or new.Yes to this 100%.
I was just about to say "but at least they didn't ruin any Legacy characters" but then I realized no...
...they made Wu lame in this. He was a borderline villain in the last two films and that coupled with the fact that his character got the goriest death in the original novel had me excited to see him finally meet his end on screen. But nope he was just a reformed puppy dog whose sole purpose was to explain that he wasn't the mad genius behind everything the past six films and that it was really a female scientist who the scriptwriters just made up out of thin air who was the real brains behind everything. A female scientist so stunning and brave--I mean so wise and so powerful that she could even use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life (ie make herself pregnant without a man.)
Like you all this needed to get a pass from me was a lot of cool and exciting dino chasing and chomping scenes. But nope two and a half hours of pretty much nothing.
Usually Jeff Goldblum and Chris Pratt are good for a laugh or two. In this film I did not crack a smile once.
They even ruined the T-Rex... She was lame also. And they gave us the same 2 on one Dino fight at the end... But not good or interesting like in JW.
This was a stinker.
