Jurassic World,<\/i> the 4th film in Stephen Spielberg\u2019s dinosaurs-gone-wild franchise, came out in cinemas yesterday.<\/p>\n

The film is set years after the original, in a future where Jurassic Park is a fully functioning mega-zoo and humans have more or less managed to stop dinosaurs from eating people sitting on the toilet.<\/p>\n

However, people are bored of the docile dinos. So, a clever group of scientists engineer a new mega dinosaur, the honking great Indominus Rex. Things go about as well as you\u2019d expect them to, and it\u2019s up to dinosaur whisperer Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and park manager Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) to stop Indominus from having the park\u2019s visitors for dinner.<\/p>\n

But is it worth going to spend your hard-earned money on? We\u2019ve rounded up a selection of reviews for you below.<\/p>\n

Empire – 4 out of 5 <\/b><\/h3>\n

Empire claim Jurassic World <\/i>is \u201d\u02dcthe best dino-outing since the original\u2019 and is \u201d\u02dcfresh and thrilling\u2019. A decent start for our dino chums!<\/p>\n

The well-regarded film magazine is full of praise for the lead cast too, as well as the terrifying human-munching Indominus Rex.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all good news: Empire claim that some of the secondary characters and plot lines are underdeveloped.<\/p>\n

On the whole, though, it\u2019s an overwhelmingly positive review.<\/p>\n

The Guardian: 4 out of 5<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Guardian, which tends to prefer artistic fare over summer blockbusters, is surprisingly enthusiastic in its praise for Jurassic World<\/i>, calling it \u201d\u02dca terrifically enjoyable and exciting summer spectacular\u2019 and \u201d\u02dcsavvy, funny, ridiculous in just the right way\u2019.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more praise for the lead actors and the big bad Indominus Rex too. Don\u2019t inflate her ego too much or she\u2019ll start asking for more money for the sequels!<\/p>\n

Wired<\/b><\/h3>\n

Uh-oh, here come the bad reviews. Tech news stalwarts Wired describe Jurassic World <\/i>as a \u201d\u02dcgiant, hideous mess\u2019 with wooden dialogue and B-movie esque action. Ouch!<\/p>\n

There is some praise for the \u201d\u02dcspectacular CGI\u2019 and the reviewer admits that he got some enjoyment from the film, but on the whole Jurassic World <\/i>takes a bit of battering.<\/p>\n

Total Film\/GamesRadar: 4 out of 5<\/b><\/h3>\n

Hooray, the good reviews are back! Total Film calls Jurassic World <\/i>\u201d\u02dca fiendishly crafted blockbuster\u2019 with \u201d\u02dcold-fashioned thrills, heroism and romance, locked inside a smart, self-aware shell.\u2019<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more praise for the cast too, although special praise is reserved for young Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins, who play 2 brothers the Indominus Rex fancies having for a light pre-lunch snack.<\/p>\n

Apparently, it\u2019s \u201d\u02dcunquestionably the best entry in the franchise since the 1993 original\u2019 although that doesn\u2019t sound like too much of an achievement if we\u2019re honest…<\/p>\n

The AV Club: B-<\/b><\/h3>\n

While The AV Club reckon Jurassic World <\/i>\u00a0is a \u201d\u02dcgoofy and fitfully entertaining summer movie\u2019, they aren\u2019t so keen on the Chris Pratt\/Bryce Dallas Howard combo that other reviewers seem to enjoy so much. That said, it\u2019s a positive review and the only one to confirm that the ridiculously brilliant John Williams theme makes an appearance!<\/p>\n
