Part 3/8:
Examining the critic scores for the Jurassic franchise reveals an interesting trend: only the original Jurassic Park and Jurassic World boast positive critic ratings, with Jurassic World Rebirth holding a modest 58%. The earlier films, like The Lost World (52%) and Jurassic Park 3 (49%), have middling to negative reviews, while subsequent entries like Fallen Kingdom and Dominion were heavily panned, yet still pulled large audiences.
Jurassic World Rebirth appears to prioritize simple, crowd-pleasing dinosaur action—focused on dinosaurs chasing, eating, and terrifying humans—over intricate storytelling or character development. This approach aligns with audience expectations for pure spectacle, a tactic that has evidently paid off at the box office.
