It's 2:39 A.M. on June 26, 2025. It's about 80-plus degrees in my house, and I can't fall asleep. What I wrote below is something that I wrote for my "Hollywood Needs to STOP" post, but I decided to post it here so that more people can see it. I want people to expect better from Hollywood and other entertainment companies, and to get that we have to stop watching their slop until they give us a better product.
Segment from My "Hollywood Needs to STOP" Post:
Do not watch Jurassic World Rebirth. You've already seen it. They're just regurgitating the same film that they've already made.
I'm getting bombarded with trailers for the film now. I know that the film is coming out in July, so they're trying to gain hype for it. However, I'm asking you to NOT watch this film. It's just a rehash of Jurassic Park, The Lost World Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park 3, Jurassic World, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, and even Camp Cretaceous. The movie will center around Isla Sorna, they have a new dino-hybrid, probably two based on what I've seen in the trailers, they have not one but a pack of Spinosaurus now, and they're recreating classic scenes from the first film and novels. You can watch ANY of the other films in the franchise, and you would've already seen JW Rebirth. Just don't watch Jurassic World Dominion. It doesn't deserve to be watched. Ever. I would gladly watch Jurassic Park 3 over that garbage any day.
I don't know how Jurassic World Rebirth will rejuvenate the franchise when the trailers are already showing us that the franchise has nothing left to give. There's no gas left in the tank, Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment. It's over. The franchise should've ended after The Lost World, in my opinion. At the very least, it should've ended after Dominion. But alas, this franchise will get milked to death until it becomes like the Transformers franchise: A shell of its former self that doesn't make any money anymore at the box office (Granted, I enjoyed Transformers One but it flopped hard at the box office. I heard last week that no sequel is in development. I blame the filmmakers for not giving fans what they wanted originally, making the same film over and over again with a director who didn't want to make them anymore, and not having a plan or just ending the franchise after Dark of the Moon). I remember on Discord, about a month ago, that some of my friends posted an article saying that JW Dominion actually cost about $400-$500 million dollars to make (Wikipedia said that it costed about $200-$300 million), and that the film was a flop despite making $1 billion dollars at the box office. Hollywood needs to realize that franchises have to end, and they need to end with dignity.
The Jurassic franchise use to mean a lot to me personally. Now, I feel nothing but apathy. The fans of this franchise will go and see it. They will waste their hard-earned money and time on this slop, and Hollywood will not learn their lesson. The cycle of mediocrity will continue. People will celebrate JW Rebirth as "the best film in the franchise since the first film," etc. As time passes on, people will look back on the film and say that it wasn't that good, overhyped, or just straight up bad. I've seen this happen before with other films in the franchise, and it will happen with JW Rebirth. All of this can be avoided by just NOT WATCHING THE FILM. But hey, what you do with your money and time is up to you, dear viewer. I've already learned my lesson. Head my warning, and vote with your wallet. Hollywood needs to learn its lesson. Do not watch Jurassic World Rebirth.
