Peter Bradshaw of "The Guardian" gave the film four stars out of five and said it is a "terrifically enjoyable and exciting summer spectacular" and "savvy, funny, ridiculous in just the right way". Robbie Collin of "The Telegraph" also awarded it four stars, deeming it a worthy sequel to the original "Jurassic Park" and calling it "methodically paced and shot with an awestruck visual sense that's pure Spielberg". Peter Travers of "Rolling Stone" gave it three stars out of four and wrote; "It's not the cynical, cash-in cheesefest you feared. OK, "Jurassic World" is a little of that. But this state-of-the-art dino epic is also more than a blast of rumbling, roaring, 'did you effing see that!' fun." He praised Trevorrow's direction, Pratt's and Howard's performances and the effects. Writing for "The Hollywood Reporter", Todd McCarthy said the film wasn't "terribly scary" and criticized the romance between Owen and Claire, but he praised the CGI implementation and the film's musical score.
