Lining up exactly like I said in my review from last week, the Jurassic World: Rebirth reviews have been released which means the Rotten Tomatoes Score is available, and it’s Rotten.
What is the Jurassic World: Rebirth Rotten Tomatoes Score?
With 71 reviews currently announced for the Jurassic World: Rebirth, the Rotten Tomatoes score is at 56%.
That’s actually not even a franchise low, as it’s the third highest score of the seven movies.
Only the first Jurassic Park (91%) and Jurassic World (72%) get the “Fresh” rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Jurassic World: Rebirth comes in third (56%), followed by The Lost World (52%), Jurassic Park III (49%), Fallen Kingdom (47%), and Jurassic World Dominion (29%).
The box office is also estimated to open with the lowest of the entire franchise. Jurassic World: Rebirth also won’t have IMAX screenings, which says a lot. F1 has them again this weekend.
What do the reviews say?
Regarding what the reviews have to say, as I said in my review, Jurassic World: Rebirth is a lot of dumb shit happening over and over and over to movie the plot along. Both Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali also fall flat, as does the ending.
The Negative
Negative reviews for Jurassic World: Rebirth largely criticize the film for lacking originality, emotional depth, and narrative purpose. Critics say the story feels recycled, often calling it a remix or rehash of earlier entries rather than a true “rebirth.” Several reviews point out that the film fails to offer compelling human characters, making it hard for audiences to care about the stakes. Despite strong visuals and some thrilling moments, detractors argue that the film leans too heavily on nostalgia and franchise familiarity without bringing anything substantially new, leading to a movie that feels hollow, forgettable, or like a cash grab.
Even great looking dinosaurs and some fun action sequences cannot save the slop of a story. It was impossible to connect with or care about any of the humans. – Mama’s Geeky
Nothing about this movie feels like anything close to a grand “rebirth.” – Loud and Clear
Nobody ever got tired of seeing Tyrannosaurus Rexes and raptors. They just want to see them again, and see them as well done as Steven Spielberg did them. Stop making up fake dinosaurs. – International
Despite its efforts to revive the excitement of earlier films, Rebirth stumbles on underwritten characters, an all-too-familiar plot, and surprisingly underwhelming visuals. – SciFi Now
The Positive
Positive reviews for Jurassic World: Rebirth praise it as a return to form for the franchise, highlighting its thrilling set pieces, impressive visuals, and classic blockbuster feel. Critics commend Gareth Edwards’ direction and David Koepp’s script for capturing the spirit of the original Jurassic Park, with several noting the film’s stripped-down survival focus and effective tension. The dinosaur action is frequently described as exciting and well-executed, and Scarlett Johansson’s performance receives specific praise for bringing strength and presence to the cast. While not seen as groundbreaking, many reviewers call Rebirth the best sequel since the original, delivering the spectacle and fun fans expect.
The second-best Jurassic movie ever made. Admittedly, this isn’t as huge a compliment as it could be, given the movies that have preceded it. – Consequence
Jurassic World Rebirth returns to its roots by delivering a big summer blockbuster packed with the thrills and chills fans of the franchise have been clamoring for. – InSession Film
Makes dinosaurs terrifying again in this intense throwback to 90’s blockbusters that will impress you visually and keep you on edge! It’s flawed, predictable, eye rolly , but in the end of the day it’s the most fun I’ve had in awhile since the 1st JW – Zach Pope Reviews
“Jurassic World Rebirth” stomps the series back to its hold-on-to-your-seats-for-dear-life origins. It freaks us out, makes us marvel in wide-eyed wonder at the sight of these mighty digital beasts, and gives us characters we can root for. – San Jose Mercury News
