The social media reactions to Jurassic World Dominion were far from positive, but the first round of reviews to hit Rotten Tomatoes seemed to tell a different story. Of course, we figured that initial 88% score would drop once the embargo had fully lifted, and boy did it ever.
With 147 reviews counted (56 Fresh, 91 Rotten), Universal's trilogy capper currently sits at a dismal 37% on the aggregator. This is the lowest score of the franchise, with even the much-maligned Fallen Kingdom coming in at 47%.
The site's consensus reads: "Jurassic World Dominion might be a bit of an improvement over its immediate predecessors, but this franchise has lumbered a long way down from its classic start"
Though some found a lot to like (our own Rohan Patel enjoyed it for the most part), the majority of critics couldn't seem to get past the weak script, bland characters (the Jurassic Park originals aside), and lack of any genuine tension. That said, we get the impression that if all you're looking for is an excuse to see dinosaurs chase and eat people for a couple of hours, you'll probably have fun.
