Jurassic World Rebirth

"Why the hell does this feel so generic, so by-the-numbers, so instantly forgettable?"

"Less of a slog, but there is precious little interesting or new."

"Brighter, breezier, funnier, incomparably better acted and better written film."

"Especially satisfying to get a woman in the role of the team’s toughest member, with no obligation to be anyone’s love interest."

"Even less worth seeing now that they already come pre-fossilized."

"Unlikely to top anyone’s ranked franchise list. But longtime fans should have a blast."

"Making the dinosaur cool again."

"Gets a moderate stamp of approval only if one agrees that it’s the last one."

"One of the more successful and satisfying entries in the franchise."

"So few thrills that it may be the weakest of the Jurassic franchise."

"A franchise that is finally, after thirty years, worthy of rebirth."

"Likable humans as well as some pleasantly cartoonish distasteful ones, and lots of dinosaurs just doing their thing."

"There are worse exercises in IP-extension out there..."

"Easily the best-looking, best-sounding film since the first."

"Audiences may not have run out of enthusiasm for what the Jurassic Worlds are selling, but the people tasked with making them sure are out of ideas."

"A repack­aged prod­uct with a cou­ple of super­fi­cial bells and whis­tles."

"Puts a wobbly franchise back on track with superb installment."

"A confounding title for a downbeat entry that’s mostly preoccupied by death and neglect."

"The ubiquity of the dinosaurs has left humanity feeling bored and annoyed."

"The once-great franchise is hardly reborn from the amber this time."

"Takes a step in the right direction, but the previous trilogy backed this franchise so thoroughly into a corner that it may be time to let this series go extinct."

"This seventh entry is a renaissance of sorts for a franchise that looked ready to curl up and turn to fossil."
