Jurassic World Rebirth Receives 57% Rotten Tomatoes Score Amid Mixed Reviews

Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest installment in the long-running dinosaur franchise directed by Gareth Edwards and penned by David Koepp, has received mixed reviews, currently holding a Rotten Tomatoes score of around 56-57%. While this score is considered 'rotten,' it ranks as the third-highest in the franchise's history, behind only the original Jurassic Park (91%) and the first Jurassic World (72%). Critics agree that the film leans heavily on nostalgia and recycles many elements from earlier entries, resulting in a story that lacks originality, emotional depth, and compelling human characters, though it still delivers some thrilling set pieces and strong visuals. Opinions vary, with some reviewers appreciating the film's return to the franchise's roots and its propulsive narrative, while others criticize it for feeling hollow and like a cash grab that fails to push the series forward. Cast performances, including those of Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, are seen as underwhelming by several critics, and the film's overall box office prospects appear modest, with no IMAX screenings planned. Despite these drawbacks, Jurassic World Rebirth may still attract fans due to its connection to the beloved original and its place in a busy summer movie season.
