‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Arrives With A Worrying Rotten Tomatoes Score
The latest installment in the Jurassic Park series, ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’, has finally hit screens. Unfortunately, it seems that the film is not breaking a long run of bad films in the series, as it’s currently sitting at a rotten 54% on Rotten Tomatoes with a hundred reviews in.
This mediocre score makes it the fourth best-reviewed Jurassic Park movie out of seven total entries in the franchise, which has been struggling to produce many great offerings. For reference, here is the list:
* Jurassic Park – 91% critic, 91% audience
* Jurassic World – 72% critic, 78% audience
* The Lost World: Jurassic Park – 56% critic, 52% audience
* Jurassic World Rebirth – 54% critic, N/A audience
* Jurassic Park 3 – 49% critic, 36% audience
* Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – 47% critic, 48% audience
* Jurassic World Dominion – 29% critic, 77% audience
While some may argue that critics don’t know anything and that the film will still be a commercial success, it’s worth noting that there is no significant gap between critic and audience scores for most entries. However, in the case of ‘Jurassic World Dominion’, this gap exists due to its significantly low critical score but surprisingly high audience score.
In a stark contrast, ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ has an entirely different cast and director from past entries. It stars Jonathan Bailey, Scarlett Johansson, and Mahershala Ali, all big names in the industry. The film is directed by Gareth Edwards, who has experience in monster movies with his work on 2014’s Godzilla and before that, Monsters. He also directed Rogue One, arguably one of the best new-era Star Wars films.
It appears that ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ is mostly a miss, as evidenced by negative reviews from several critics such as The Daily Beast, New York Magazine, and others.
