i just don't like Honest Trailers in general--in my opinion, an actually "honest" trailer would be one that casts the film in the tone it actually has rather than how it was advertised, so Zootopia for example gets a treatment saying that, yes, this is a film noir throwback rather than a buddy cop comedy, not nitpicking every tiny little detail in a desperate, usually failed attempt to get a laugh
of course, that wouldn't give them many options for videos to make...

This right here.
It's the same thing with channels like CinemaSins. Being thorough and technical takes a back seat to simple entertainment, especially as the audience for these channels gets bigger. As such they don't often do films justice. Unfortunate, but understandable given the circumstances.
I don't enjoy Honest trailers very much, but i find them still funny at times. I love the Cinemasins channel tho. Both channels are entirely for entertaiment purposes, so they are noreal reviews.
Typically they're pretty easy on films that the people behind them actually enjoyed. JP and JW in particular got quite a bit of love. They were a little harder on TLW, but it wasn't too bad.
What really bugged me was the hatchet job that Cinema Sins did on JW. I stopped watching anything off of their channel after that.

Jurassic World wasn't hat good, it pains me to say that but none of the sequals is actually a good movie. The first one really stands out for me.
