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.)
FWIW Prey, the predator sequel from a couple years ago, and Alien Romulus were both pretty good.
I have heard that a lot, but was skeptical, so I eventually watched it. Prey was a lot better than all the other Predator sequels but I did not love it. I had a hard time swallowing how she became the biggest warrior around.
Alien Romulus, I will take your word for it. I am just done with the franchise
Prey was straight ass imo. They had a good idea and made something bad out of it.
