Jurassic World has already given us a couple of reasons to be glad it exists.

As part of their promotional tour for the blockbuster, Bryce Dallas Howard cried on command during a Conan appearance; and Chris Pratt ran in high heels.

But just because the stars entertained us on talk shows, does that mean the rebooted movie franchise will entertain us in theaters?

Critics from around the globe have chimed in with their Jurassic World reviews below…

At its best, it’s good enough to take your mind off its worst, which is saying a lot. – David Edelstein

Pratt proved in "Guardians" that he could handle hunky leading man roles, and his combination of physicality, charisma and attitude prove hard to resist one more time. – Kenneth Turan

I enjoyed Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to exactly the same degree I enjoyed Jurassic World. – Chris Klimek

Jurassic World is ersatz Spielberg. It’s a knock-off that, even with the brand tag of the filmmaking titan as executive producer, makes the credit feel faux. – Lisa Kennedy

Just showing us dinosaurs isn’t enough anymore, which is why Jurassic World is very entertaining, but not amazing. – Willie Waffle

When its focus is on dino-centric destruction, Jurassic World is wonderful. When it doesn’t, it’s a dump — an expositional dump, to be precise. – Bill Gibron

Jurassic World is precisely what every Jurassic Park fan would hope it might be. It delivers fair and square. – David Sexton
