Jurassic World Rebirth review – Scarlett Johansson runs show as near-extinct franchise roars back to life
I miss the old days, where if a franchise got to 7 or 8 installments, the budget would have shrunk and the ideas would have become insane. In a just world, Jurassic Park 8 would be a straight-to-dvd release that takes place in space or something.
Tremors
Games don't waste your time, they get right to it by the 3rd installment.
Jason X came to mind. Jason in space…brilliant!
Drunk cast member in the background bumping the starships "computer" which is clearly cardboard.
Yes, or they wouldn't make the movies.
For larger budget franchises see James Bond, Fast and Furious, Mission Impossible, Harry Potter, Star Wars, MCU, etc. Whether or not they hold up quality while isn't always consistent, but some do a decent job of keeping momentum.
Captain America: The winter Soldier and The Guardians of the Galaxy were the 8th and 9th released MCU filmed amd both top are tier movies in their own right.
With marvel, they were only starting to link a larger universe at that point. It wasn’t captain america 8. Each of the individual heroes has dwindles after a few outings.
I think James Bond is the only major franchise I can think of that has maintained a level of quality with that many movies. There is some up and down and a change in tone and style with new actors, though.
Dude shut up, he wasn’t actually if people watch these movies—they make $8gazillion each time they come out, we know losers watch them.
Same here. I gave up after the 3rd in this one. It's a rare franchise that can maintain the quality of the original without resorting to gimmicks after that.
In this particular case, it's timing. Saw the reboot with my wife since we were excited to see the return. Both thought it was ok. Saw next one at home, and I think we skipped the 3rd. This is the 4th one in the reboot, right? Lol. This one, my wife is taking the kid to see it in theaters because now he is interested in dinosaurs and started watching some of the movies over the past year including the Netflix animated show (which i saw some of with him and from what I saw seemed way better than it should have been). So they release long enough, and you start getting new generations to take notice of who are young enough to not put so much thought into how awful they really are. The name sells.
For Jurassic Parks, I watch every single one. They're usually fun enough to turn off your brain and watch tense and thrilling dino carnage. I never watch any with unreasonably high expectations.
I enjoy the original so much I've seen it with a full symphony playing the sound track live and in sync, with the projector screen above them.
Unfortunately not the consensus among most reviewers.
It's striking the number of those reviews compare it to and call it a rehash of Jurassic Park 3. Cuz from the trailer I saw I thought it might be the same movie.
Only the original was good. Lost world was meh, and the rest is absolute trash. There’s just no way this one is possibly any good
Life, uh, finds a way.
No, but seriously, the only way this "roars back to life" is with a complete, feathered overall of the dinosaurs on screen. 🤌🏼
Something, something beating a dead Tyrannosaurus.
Peter Bradshaw will give a hundred genre films 3 star reviews despite positive body text and then out of nowhere do a four or five star rating for the most mid thing ever (see Miami Vice).
Honestly, if anyone could bring it back it'd be her, and I'm glad they're finally dropping "world", all the jurassic worlds sucked. It needed something new if it'd continue.
It's literally called Jurassic WORLD Rebirth.
Ah damn. My brain blocked that out
