Agreed with the above. I don't mind Chris Pratt, but Owen just feels bland at best to me in both movies. His relationship with Blue -- as underdeveloped as it is so far -- is the most interesting thing about him, and the raptor strikes me as having more personality.
Ironically, the blood transfusion bit is actually one of the few things that was somewhat scientifically sound. Unlike mammals, birds can accept transfusions from a wider variety of species since they don't have blood types as specific as mammals do, so you could have a cross-species transfusion between two close-enough related non-avian dinosaurs without immediately causing shock. That said, they absolutely didn't need to get blood from the T. rex; Gallimimus and Compsognathus are both more closely related animals that we know were on the boat, and would've made more practical sense. (Plus, if Blue doesn't get actual treatment post-stabilization via transfusion she's still at risk of going into shock eventually...)
Hollywood really seems to struggle with just the entire concept of blood really. I have to admit I still kinda enjoyed it despite all the stupidity.
