Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

Trying to keep my expectations low for this, in the hope I'll be pleasantly surprised :/

I don't think this franchise is ever getting back to its roots. Like, never, ever.

I'll always take the time to watch another Jurassic movie but I've not considered them "blockbuster" or "must see" in 25 yrs. They're just mainstream creature features, at this point.

The name/brand is essentially tarnished forever.

I agree for the most part, and though I understand the sentiment, I don't tend to subscribe to the idea that sequels made years later by other directors can tarnish the original classics. Might be my coping mechanism though, as Jurassic Park and The Terminator (and T2) are among my all-time favs haha

 

[Mr. Awesome]

I think the problem is studios want popular movies to become franchises, always. And there's nothing saying that can't happen. But when you just use the brand to defecate another sequel in the name of making the IP a franchise, you've clearly lost the plot.

Any film that is a box office SUPER success is basically a death for that IP going forward, more often than not.

Don't ask me how dafuq John Wick is hanging in there. They're gonna have Keanu beating the **** outta people in his 70s before they're done.

Yeah it's a rarity to be able maintain artistic success and quality when it's all about the commerce side. With that in mind, it will be interesting to see if/how the Dune franchise evolves going forward.

I'm not the guy to discuss Dune with, unfortunately lol. I put it on to make my nephews go to sleep when they come to visit.

Creator sucked.

This will suck.

Okay, the fact that your post made me think of the Peter O'Toole film from 1985 and not the one that just came out last year suggests that you are correct, lol.

I’ll gladly watch a porn movie with Scarjo and a T-Rex.

 

[Wor-Gar]

T-rex Does Dallas

I didn’t hate Creator, though I am hard pressed to remember anything about it.

I like Gareth Edwards style and as long as he doesn’t hide the dinosaurs till the last 15, I look forward to how he will do a JP film.

 

[Mr. Awesome]

I'm just not sure how many more times they can keep selling this story. Dino's need a new film. JP has gave all its got to give imo.

65 turned out to be a nothin burger unfortunately.

Tammy and the T-Rex!

Holy hell, that's a blast from the past. Back in the day (about 25+ years ago) this German TV-channel would have one weekend a year dubbed Dinomania or something and air all kinds of (B, C, or D level) fantasy movies as long as there was something resembling a dinosaur in it. It was after Jurassic Park blew up and dinosaurs were all the rage. Of course 11 year old me loved that ****.

Fun fact, that's Denise Richards as Tammy and the kid that gets turned into the T-Rex was Paul Walker.

Fair enough the one thing Gareth understands is scale he is a master of that.

Hopefully Gilroy gets hired to reshoot this movie.

Edwards is a really good director, and I liked Creator quite a bit so I’m hopeful for this.

They should really get someone to adapt Flesh from 2000ad though
