Usually when a franchise gets 5+ sequels at least one is pretty good, but none of the JP sequels have been.
Jurassic World Rebirth spoilers
And this latest one with ScarJo was particularly bad; they took the Star Wars 7-9 approach where they copy and paste scenes from the original movie and weave a slightly different story around them.
Meanwhile the few “new” things they added were thinly veiled shots at the audience “no one is interested in these creatures anymore so we have to invent hybrids”… and the hybrid they created was basically a Rancor from Star Wars.
(Also wtf does the title “rebirth” have anything to do with what happened in the movie? It’s all about collecting dino blood for Pharma research into human heart disease medication. Nothing is “reborn” at all.)
Shout out to Jurassic Park 3 which, while terrible in its own way, at least added quills to some of the raptors. At first I thought it strange that only some of them got new design and some of them looked the same as in the first two movies but then it hit me - the ones with the quills were males, while the first two movies had only females!
So yeah, World has zero excuse when even JP3 got some proto-feathers in despite using the same dinos as the first one.
