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.)
I swear my taste in films isn’t always so shallow. I like films to have good moral messages and a good story. But sometimes, I also just wanna see cool things on screen. Sometimes, I just wanna see dinosaurs on the big screen.
If you want to see an entry into the Jurassic franchise that actually has a good story, check out the animated series Camp Cretacous and its sequel Chaos Theory
I agree, sometimes you just want pasific rim. Giant monsters fighting giant robots, to a kick arse sound track.
After the first JP, the rest are just cool dinosaurs on screen.
