I thought it was utter garbage. Spoilers:

1. Using raptors for the military just because a guy trained them to stand still when feeding him rats? There are enormous political repercussions for for non targeted causalities as it is using smart weapons and it of goes against international laws of inhumane weaponry. This would never, ever been considered in real life.

2. How does that Rex/Raptor hybrid know that they're watching it's thermal readings? It wouldnt be aware of that to make its plan.

3. They have a backup tracking implant in that rex/raptor hybrid yet they decide to open it's "cage" instead of looking at the reading from the tracking implant? (which at the time is still implanted) This is an absurdly unrealistic response.

4. Rex/Raptors literally "talk" to each others, convincing raptors to turn? Thats now how animal communication or behavior psychology works.

5. Horrible acting - kid just tazes a raptor in back of the van and says he cant wait to tell his mom. Is that really how the average kid would behave in that situation, rather than crying, shaking and otherwise pissing his pants? Many other instances of inappropriate reactions considering the circumstances.

6. Guy/woman see a dead dino when they leave the car to go look for the kids. They actually stop to shed tears over the creature and spend a few minutes petting it while her two nephews are out there possibly dead or dying? Unreal how badly the script writers dont understand basic human behavior and psychology.

7. Ending battle was a joke - you solve a problem of a giant trex like creature escaping by letting out an actual trex? and your assumption is that will help rather than double the problem? Idiocy upon idiocy. Rather than use military grade weapons, their idea of containment is to let loose raptors and when that doesnt work, let loose a trex.

8. Absolutely no tension - straight up action only. JP 1 and 2 had a lot less deaths but far more tensions and fear.

There are so many other issues, but this movie was a pile of garbage. The script is at fault here - it's plain garbage.

1 - Yeah, but that was Hoskins idea. Plus it obviously ends up not being a good idea because they turn and kill almost everyone there aside from Owen and the other main characters. Hoskins is the one in the entire movie who thinks that using them is a good idea, even though it's not, and once he takes control he uses the park getting destroyed to his own personal benefit to try and test them. 

4 - The Indominus was part raptor so it made sense that it could communicate with the other raptors. 

6 - I feel like this was mainly just to show the character Claire that these animals weren't just science experiments like people on the island keep acting like they are. This is the first time where she actually sees one up close and personal so it shows her that they are actually animals and changes her view on them.

7 - Letting the T-Rex out was more of a last resort sort of thing. I mean think about it. At that point how many military personal were even on the island anymore? Hoskins took control of them and ordered them to take the research and leave. In fact most of the people working on the island left, aside from the one guy who decided to stay behind in the control room and opened the T-Rex door for Claire. The civilians were still hiding in the one place on the island as well. The raptors weren't going to be able to take down the Indominus by themselves so it made sense in a sort of "fight fire with fire" way that releasing the T-Rex would make it fight the Indominus. There were no other options at that point to take anyway. How else were they going to defeat it?

1. It's a completely unrealistic character - yeah it's his idea, but it's a useless plot device that destroys any sense of realism and ads nothing. No one head of private security there would actually make this type of assessment after seeing a guy make raptors stand in one spot from a suspended walkway.

4. Animals don't communicate that way - they were communicating as if speaking words, with the Raptors looking back and forth as if they were making rational assessments about what was being said. That's not how it works. The entire premise is also ridiculious given that the rex at that point could have easily called all the Raptors and humans as well which would have been a much more realistic response given the threat. Anthromorphizing these animals in this manner breaks all realism.

6. I know why it's there, but it's completely unrealistic. It was added in an absolutely ham fisted, horribly placed manner. The woman wouldn't give a damn about that dinosaur when she already barely gives a dam about humans - let alone when her two newphews are probably dead or dying in the field. Would you stop and shed tears while petting a dead Zebra if your cousins were lost in a Safari with lions that were going around maiming people? I doubt it.

7. Hoskins is private security - actual military would show up (Costa Rican plus international) within hours. When a serial killer is on the lose the solution isn't to release another one from prison to hunt it down. It's ridiculous and frankly suicidal logic.
