But something keeps this sequel from ranking up there with the best of the Jurassic films. The elements of a summer blockbuster are all there: charismatic stars, smarmy villains ( Rafe Spall, who's inherited his father Timothy's ability to play eevil quite well), plucky/adorable child (Isabella Sermon, in her first role), swooping score (Michael Giacchino, doing a wonderful job of channeling John Williams), and lots and lots of heart-stopping action. Bayona continues to thrill audiences with jump-worthy suspense and to create a bond between viewers and the dinosaurs.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard again co-star. Families who enjoyed Jurassic World will be able to handle this sequel, but younger viewers sensitive to violence and menacing creatures may not be ready for all of the people-chomping. On the upside, there are more notable female characters in this installment than the last, and the movie has themes of teamwork and bravery. Expect a fair bit of product placement, especially Apple products and luxury cars. There's only one real kiss (and some flirting). Language is infrequent (occasional use of 'damn' and 'Jesus!' and one 'holy sh-' that's cut off before completion).

People are eaten, torn to shreds, trampled, and severely injured.

And there are lots of intense scenes of sustained terror, suspense, and peril, including a prolonged sequence in which a very scary genetically modified dinosaur tracks and tries to kill a young girl. Although the action no longer takes place inside a tourist-filled dinosaur theme park, there's still a large body count (mostly armed mercenaries and billionaire moguls). Parents need to know that Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is just as violent and terrifying as its predecessor, 2015's Jurassic World.
