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.)

    The chameleon dinosaurs would have been a no-brainer! They were scary as hell in the book and easy to translate to the bog screen. Give 'em a predator-like cloaking vibe, but more obvious. Catch one fading into the treeline, stuff like that.

      I think the bog screen is where they’re debuting Swamp Thing, no?
