I wasn't expecting much from this movie but I hated every character so much that I couldn't even really enjoy the dino-fights. :(

Yeah. There was something really disjointed about Jurassic World. It's like they put the movie together from a recipe and forgot a key ingredient. They said: "Little kids, check. Hero guy, check. Perky but slightly cold gal, check. Toss in megalo dino on the rampage. Mix in vats of blood and...bake." But, for example, they missed the part where the hero guy actually bonds with the kids even a tiny bit before he saves them, so the kids saying: "We're with him," made absolutely no sense at all, especially since it was the gal who'd just shot the pteranodon to save the hero guy right in front of them. They didn't know the Chris Pratt character from Adam.

I was so little invested in the characters I don't even remember their names.

There was no cohesion, in other words. The people perishing in the park--the hero guy had no connection with them, either. He was out in the field and never close to the action. He was out of communication, and they kept the lead gal out of communication too, hunting down her nephews. They focused too much on the subplot of the shifty InGen guy who wanted the raptors as military assets. They didn't zone in on the owner wanting to save the park inhabitants until too late in the story, so that the story focus was split too much.

This is the sign of an overwritten script that had been chopped up to pieces until it made no sense. All the emotional beats had been removed to make room for plot and action.

I did really like the billionaire boss who took his bird up and called himself a general, though. That was gutsy. Stupid, but gutsy. I wish he'd made it.

Personally, I thought the movie lacked heart or soul or whatever you want to call it. It ticked all the boxes for exciting popcorn flick, but there was no real sense of emotional connection or loss. People were just faceless casualties and nothing more, and even the protagonists weren't terribly interesting. They had no depth to them at all, not even by relatively shallow blockbuster movie standards.

"This is the sign of an overwritten script that had been chopped up to pieces until it made no sense. All the emotional beats had been removed to make room for plot and action."

Spot fucking on, IMO. Lots of fights and shiny explosions, no relatable sense of fear or any other strong emotion.
