Is Pat McAfee being too harsh on the Jurassic World franchise?
A damning movie review by The Guardian perfectly captures the problems with the movie. The special effects that made fans fall in love with the film are now only a side note in the new installment. The article believes that this movie seems to have lost its sure-footedness in recent installments from legendary director Steven Spielberg movies of the past. It misses the Spielberg-Jurassic Park magic, which was frustrating for McAfee and many other fans.
