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 still think Jurassic Park takes the cake here. I can’t speak to F&F or Halloween, but most of those franchises have at least one good sequel. The Matrix sequels aren’t great but in my opinion they’re better than JP’s. JP also has an edge with volume.

        eh star wars shows hit more often than JP sequels do. Clone Wars, Madalorian, Andor are all good.

          Except The Book of Bobba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ashoka and The Acolytte were all trash…
