His new movies feel like that episode of the Simpsons where Marge keeps re-tailoring her expensive suit into other suits.

maybe this was the idea all along. get JJ to direct the first movie because he's really good at injecting new energy into things, but then hand it off before he inevitably fumbles it. Star Wars screwed up by doing the hand-off to that jerk kid who intentionally screws up the message during telephone game. Star Trek screwed up by not immediately picking a JJ successor. it's a delicate balance when you hire him as the fixer.
