I just watched it online. The stream was very dark and blurry but I absolutely loved it. I'd rate it a 6.5/10. It was about what I expected. Not great, not terrible, but boy, did I love it.
I've never been a huge JP fan, I've just enjoyed dinosaurs and the films as any normal person does but the last 20 or so minutes of the film had me in tears of awe.
When Owen whistles for Delta and Echo to attack the Indominus I got chills. When the T-Rex paddock opened I got chills. Every time she roared I got chills.
Seeing her rush through the Spinosaurus skeleton and tackle the **** out of the Indominus with her enormous jaws, like a true T-Rex, was perfection. But the fight also remained realistic in that she started getting her ass kicked by this overpowered hybrid. Then Blue comes in sprinting in slow-motion like a warrior on the battlefield, it was so cheesy but so great.
The Indominus got the honorless death it deserved.
The whole complaint of the raptors being "tamed like dogs" should have been forgotten the second they turned on Owen and took out every last one of the Spec Ops team. They were so swift and efficient in their killing. It brought me right back to the sequence in The Lost World where they're being hunted down in the tall grass.
The combination of Stan Winston's famous design, the (in)famous animal it's depicting, the role this creature has played in the previous films, the fact that we haven't seen her since 93 or any T-Rex since 2001...when you consider all of these things and then see her return in JW it becomes a very, very special moment.
Overall I don't think it was a really good movie but it had moments that felt so precious to the franchise and the T-Rex itself. It's amazing how popular this prehistoric creature is in our culture, the "King of the Dinosaurs", and this franchise has done complete justice to that notion (except JP3).
