Usually when a franchise gets 5+ sequels at least one is pretty good, but none of the JP sequels have been.
Jurassic World Rebirth spoilers
And this latest one with ScarJo was particularly bad; they took the Star Wars 7-9 approach where they copy and paste scenes from the original movie and weave a slightly different story around them.
Meanwhile the few “new” things they added were thinly veiled shots at the audience “no one is interested in these creatures anymore so we have to invent hybrids”… and the hybrid they created was basically a Rancor from Star Wars.
(Also wtf does the title “rebirth” have anything to do with what happened in the movie? It’s all about collecting dino blood for Pharma research into human heart disease medication. Nothing is “reborn” at all.)
that’s not what i asked, I understand why they keep making them.
also not what i asked. I agree dinosaurs are cool.
why does it matter? I thought it had a chance of being good. Now that I know it’s bad I will not watch it again.
edit: lol, out here on a high horse having a conversation with yourself, and you downvote me for calling you out on it.
Just seeing this now. I didn’t downvote you, bud. My instance has downvotes disabled. Get outta your reddit mindset, I was trying to drive conversation!
I was driving at “well, you watched it? Why? And why would they anything differently if folks like you and I keep watching them?”
But all good, I’ll tag your username so I don’t reply to your posts in the future and you don’t have to be concerned about my non-existent downvotes that don’t mean anything on Lemmy anyway.
yeah, you were driving at a conversation has been had many times before and has no bearing on my post. we all know hollywood is all about the money, let’s move on.
the question here is, is Jurassic Park the worst of them all? and your post did not contribute to that conversation at all.
and yes, votes mean something, otherwise they wouldn’t exist. they affect the visibility of posts, which is why i downvote low effort and off topic comments such as yours.
Too bad for you I’m on an instance that disables downvotes. Can’t give 'em, can’t see 'em.
Somebody call the whambulance, sheesh. Relax. They asked some rhetorical questions as part of their comment. No need to get so upset and defensive about it all.
I was taught if you don’t have anything nice to say to not say anything at all.
their entire comment was a rhetorical strawman against my complaints about the movie.
I don’t think it was a straw man because they weren’t making an argument. Not every post replying to you is an argument. I think that’s the problem. You viewed it as an attack. It was conversation.
