The online trolls are back, much like the dinosaurs from Jurassic World. Fans are going ballistic over the recently released teaser for Jurassic World: Rebirth, which stars Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey. However, not everyone is delighted. While some can't help but scoff at what seems like just another effort to bring the Jurassic Park property back to life, others are excited for a new age of dino-action.
One fan summed up the overall sentiment under a tweet sharing the clip, they wrote,
"Nothing beats the original!" aptly capturing the fatigue that many people have after returning to the island for yet another visit.
Will the movie live up to the tradition? We will have to wait and see. It is scheduled for release on July 2 and promises larger dinosaurs and more intense survival challenges.
Fans roast the latest Jurassic Park installment, questioning if the dinosaurs or the franchise are more ancient
The internet quickly began mocking Jurassic World: Rebirth, as was to be anticipated, and the fan comments have been quite entertaining. Some fans are thrilled about Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey's major parts, while others are side-eyeing the franchise’s latest installment.
One Twitter user sarcastically questioned the longevity of the series, asking,
"How much more they gonna [do to] this franchise? 😭"
Of course, no major movie franchise is immune to the classic cynicism of Twitter. One tweet bluntly stated,
"Mfs will go see anything man," capturing the weariness some viewers have toward big-budget sequels.
That said, not all reactions were negative. A Jonathan Bailey fan posted,
"Jonathan 🥵," along with a GIF of a girl blushing, proving that at least some fans are more focused on the human stars than the CGI dinosaurs.
One of the more lighthearted reactions came from a fan who simply tweeted,
"rAwR xD," a throwback to the cringy early-2000s internet culture, which somehow feels fitting for a franchise as enduring as Jurassic Park.
And then, with impeccable comedic timing, another user pointed out the obvious,
"Jurassic Park franchise every couple years…🤣" with a GIF of a man saying, “Let’s run it one more time.”
It seems that fans are aware of how often these dino films come around—and some of them aren't quite sure it’s a good thing.
The legacy of Jurassic Park and Rebirth
Being the most recent installment of a franchise that has been dominating the market for more than thirty years, Jurassic World: Rebirth must contend with fierce competition from its predecessors. With its breakthrough computer graphics and iconic cast, the 1993 original movie set the bar for dino-thrillers.
Since then, the series has grown with spin-offs, reboots, and sequels, all of which have had differing levels of critical and commercial success.
Trending
Scarlett Johansson, whose character is slated to serve as the focal point of this new period of survival, and Jonathan Bailey, star of Bridgerton, play important roles in the next movie. The movie aims to give the cherished series a new perspective with its promises of action-packed scenes and stunning new creatures. It remains to be seen, though, if it meets the standards set by reviewers and fans.
Despite the spectacle that the movie offers, the franchise's repetition could work against it. Nevertheless, a lot of people will probably watch because of the sheer force of nostalgia and the attraction of enormous dinosaurs. It strikes a careful balance between paying tribute to the original and providing something fresh, as is the case with most legacy franchises.
