Brian Fuller, the Hannibal guy doing the Friday the 13th prequel. That should be good and fataed up.

My friend:
Jurassic Park
The Lost World
Jurassic World: Rebirth
Jurassic Park 3
'World' trilogy (I think he's just indifferent about them)

It played like a mix up of TLW and JP3 plus some mutants.

I would agree with your list. Fallen Kingdom and Dominion are unwatchable. Kind of sad that they brought the original cast back and completely wasted them. My ratings would be:

Jurassic Park 9/10
The Lost World 7/10
Jurassic World Rebirth 6/10
Jurassic World 5/10
Jurassic Park III 4/10
Jurassic World Dominion 3/10
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom 2/10

I can't quite give Jurassic Park a perfect rating, since that's saved for perfect movies like Jaws. I honestly wish Spielberg would do one more Jurassic movie. Take a break from the sentimental stuff, and make another summer blockbuster.

Was there an early screening or something for Jurassic World Rebirth? Just wondering how you guys are rating it when it hasn't come out yet

[GordonBlue]

my family really enjoyed "K-Pop Demon Hunters" on Netflix.

Fuller is no longer involved. He was fired during pre-production and was replaced last summer.

Speaking of which, this series has finally started filming after countless delays and legal wranglings. Hopefully it's out by at least next year.

Ahh crap. Must have been an old site I saw that.

[Hemi-Cuda]

A Friday the 13th prequel just sounds so dumb. Is it just going to be following a nerdy Jason being bullied at his summer camp?

[FireGilbert]

Finally watched Lost in Translation before a trip to Tokyo. It’s certainly a good movie that is well directed with two excellent acting performances, and I get the isolated people in an isolating environment angle, but why is this deemed Oscar worthy and considered one of the best films of the 21st century? It’s a romantic comedy with very little romance or comedy. Would complain there is next to no conflict to drive the plot but there barely even is a plot. It’s like an hour of conversations and the rest is long shots of people walking. Would give it an 8 out of 10 but don’t get the hype.

Landmark does a "Mystery Movie" on Mondays, someone here tipped us off that it was going to be the new Jurassic. I went as well, only $10 and 1 commercial, was quite nice.

So if Rebirth doesn't suck, do you have to watch the rest of the wretched World series to understand anything?

[Engine09]

It's pretty much a standalone with a few nods to the past. I don't mind any of these movies, they're all what I expected and kinda fun.

Shawnessy is my home base theater but hit Country Hills for this one, I have an embarrasing friend that lives in Airdrie, those seats are worn the f out. I dislike the NW.

[Nadal Fan]

Denis Villeneuve is directing the next Bond film, they should bring back Brosnan and give him a proper send off.

[BigThief]

Pierce Brosnan is a 72 year old man. Let's let one of the best directors today so their own thing.

[trackercowe]

All signs are pointing to Aaron Taylor-Johnson being the next Bond. A solid choice. He's done very good work recently in a broad spectrum of work. I didn't love Bullet Train, but he was very good in that. Also excellent in 28 Years Later, Nocturnal Animals, and Nosferatu. It's hard to believe Kick-Ass will become Bond... maybe they can get Chloe Grace Morentz to be a future Bond girl!

Nope, it practically ignores the last three outside of some exposition early on explaining why dinos aren't on the mainland any more (or dying out there).

Not one mention of a locust. Its kind of nice.

I guess the first 'World' was ok, I just hated the entire raptor plot and how terrible some of the CG looked. Maybe I'm looking at 3 too favourably. I just love Sam Neill and the use of animatronics. That movie was the best the raptors have looked. Then they looked totally different and awful in the World films.

Agreed about Speilberg (even if its selfish to want another out of him). I love the old jeeps and 90s tech from the first couple. I really think they should do one based around the time of the original park and try to extract a story from the novels.

[BigThief]

Jurrasic Park is a 10/10, the Lost World is decent 6/10 and the rest are forgettable at best. The three World movies are just the worst..is the latest one a continuation? They should have dropped that. And how does Colin Trevorrow still get work.

And as for Aaron Taylor Johnson.. Matthew Vaughn has spent the better part of a decade making trash Kingsmen movies when he should just make a 3rd Kick Ass

[trackercowe]

^ No it is not a continuation from Jurassic World. The only connection is a lone brontosaurus at the start of the movie. The same one that was stuck in the city in a previous movie.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Gareth Edwards directed it (Godzilla reboot, Rogue One). Pretty sure Trevorrow hasn't landed any notable projects since Dominion. And rightfully so. That thing sucked out loud.

[Shazam]

I didn't mind the first JW.

NGL seeing Bryce Dallas Howard raises the movies up a notch.
