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.)

Man I do not get this one. It seems a very popular online opinion to shit on the Matrix sequels, but I love them.

They aren’t as good as the original by any means, but I also enjoyed all three.

The first one was mind blowing, and the next two were good in their own right.

I would say they aren't as bad as Jurassic Park. Also Jurassic Park has Matrix beat with volume.

2 and 3 isn't as good but it's not bad either? At least they ended the story. JP doesn't even need a sequel and they got like a shit tons.

Rebirth was really good in my opinion, arguably the second best in the franchise. Jurassic Park is the best. I'd have to watch World again to compare it, but Rebirth was genuinely pretty good.

There are more than a few stinkers when you go down the line Alien sequels, especially if you count the Alien VS Predator films.
