re: Jurassic World Rebirth (Now with Spoilers)

I feel like I’ve already seen the movie with the amount of footage they’ve released.
Scarjo’s cans on the boat look absolutely massive

That’s fair, I just think that even with the low expectations, it doesn’t deliver on any front. There’s no suspense because the hollow characters don’t make you root for any of their actions. There’s no suspense because you already know what’s going to happen. There’s no suspense seeing cgi Dinos do silly shite. They even had that “awe shucks” moment when Grant’s protégé sees some Dinos for the first time and it’s just…hollow. The whole thing is devoid of emotion, meaning, it’s a paint by numbers that feels like a big budget Roger Corman film, but even his films had soul, this film doesn’t have that in the slightest.

This movie may be too intense for younger kids.
That's my concern for my boy. He's 5 and has seen all of the JP/JW movies and LOVES them. But while they are mostly fun with some action/intensity strewn in, this one seems like it will increase that and I fear it will be too much for him to handle.
Being scared of raptors for two minutes is different than basically watching a horror-ish movie with dinosaurs.

I love 2 and think it's really good until the boat crashes and we get the T-Rex version of King Kong.

2 was fun, 3 was better, JW was good and I’d rank this one behind JW. I mean, the first thirty minutes is sooooo boring. How do you make a Jurassic Park movie boring? What the heck!

Well my 8 year son begged to come with me and his sister when he over heard me talking about it with her. He did fine. He was on the edge of his seat, but never too worried.
.I told him to tap my hand if he got scared, but never did.
ETA: While I do think this film leaned more into horror and suspense, it doesn't come close to the original in those terms. If he can handle the first one, this one will be a walk in the park.

Man I will put a bunch of these individual scenes up with anything in any other sequel.
I don't want to get into details for spoilers but there are top tier action-suspense scenes in this movie. I forgot Gareth Edwards directed this movie until the credits.

Again. This is a Jurassic Park sequel.

Good to know, thanks.

And I'll add that seeing JP in theaters is a lot different than at home.
I think I saw the OG at our $1.50 theater at least 5-6 times.

Saw it last night also. Everything Richleau says is how I feel so i won't bother typing anything else. its just not good and this should really be the last one.

No man, it was silly. The one river scene was ludicrous. Remember when a Trex would shake the very ground in Jurassic Park? That's tension. That's buildup. Now he's like Michael Myers, one minute he's there and the next, poof, vanished only to appear right behind you without warning. No scary footprints, no build up, no realism at all. It's just an actor standing in a blue room being told by the director "ok, ok, so now the big scary dinosaur is sleeping...yes, now look back behind you and act afraid." or "Ok, ok, so you're taking a piss as a big scary dinosaur is sneaking up on ya, so now look behind you and be afraid." Give me a fricking break. Do you see the dropoff with suspense there?
And Gareth Evans is an amazing director but The Raid 2, this was not. The fact that you said you didn't realize Evans directed it says it all, doesn't it? This was a cash grab for all who participated, a phoned in, lame, producer driven drivel of an afterthought of a movie. I wonder just how much control Evans even had with this picture. The Raid 2 had incredible characters, amazing action, and...wait for it, suspense. It is up there with some of the best action ever produced, but this film could have been directed by anyone, sadly. At least the end product left no mark at all.
And the humor in the film? Oh my lord, could it have been more forced? The Altoids munching? The shithead of a boyfriend who was beyond obnoxious? Dora the Explorer surviving in ridiculous ways? It was like Hollywood producers got in a room and said "we need to appeal to X, Y, and Z, be damned if it makes sense." And what you get is a dressed up cardboard Carnosaur. Except Carnosaur was fun.

They have played fast and loose with this stuff since literally the first movie

I knew almost nothing of this movie until I watched it. I only got the tickets because my wife had expressed and interest and thought it was be a gool gift for her to see it early.

I watch strictly for Scar Jo doing Tombraider stuff
Posted on 6/24/25 at 5:08 pm to SlowFlowPro
After watching this one last night I would say it’s 3rd or 4th best of the series.
Jurassic Park
Jurassic park 3
Jurassic world & this one tie
Jurassic park 2
The rest
Lots of callbacks to the other movies. Some Easter eggs. Plot holes? Yes. Way to get on the island is way harder than the end to get off. It was a good popcorn flick. It was not terrible unless you go in looking for an academy award winning movie.
The plot was fairly simple so it will stick with you unlike the last 2 Jurassic worlds.

Gareth Edwards directed this movie, not Gareth Evans, who directed the Raid movies.

I'm skimming and he's not saying that much different than me. His problem is he's comparing it to the original JP and not the sequels.
The original JP is one of the best movies ever and one of the most groundbreaking movies ever. It's clear after all this time that nothing is going to compare to that movie.
Then they keep bitching about the lack of dino kills. The original JP didn't have 30 red shirts to be killed by the dinos
Also they bitch for 5 minutes about the setup of the movie and I guess the simple explanation is lost on them. The 2nd and 3rd movies of the 2nd trilogy were horrible. The set up didn't work, so they killed it.
And then they don't understand the "Rebirth" designation because of this.
