Does this latest movie in children’s animation soar to new heights or is it a flightless (and boring) lame duck of a feature?

Disney has more or less been successful in their live action ventures as of late from The Jungle Book to Beauty and the Beast. With Fox’s Goodbye Christopher Robin not quite capturing the magic of its characters, could Disney’s version fill that Pooh-sized hole in our hearts?
Any film or TV series that deals with student life has the pressure of its cast delivering some great, relatable performances. That isn’t to say that child actors can’t deliver phenomenal performances, but some are still discovering what kind of actor they are so it can be real hit or miss. The last few coming of age stories have been promising so hopefully Bo Burnham’s directorial debut can follow that trend.
I was skeptical and lacked any excitement when I heard the Jurassic Park franchise would be re-imagined for a new trilogy. Ignoring the last two, Jurassic World was a sequel to the original making Fallen Kingdom the second attempt at a third sequential film. Jurassic World managed to set up a new story in the same universe with a group of fun characters so this film surely must do something different than The Lost World...
Alicia Vikander and Jason McAvoy in a film together? Sold. Directed by Wim Wenders? Sold. A romantic thriller? A bit skeptical, but still sold. What could possibly go wrong?
