10 Times Movie Franchises Totally Broke Your Trust
2. Dinosaurs Take A Back Seat In Favour Of Locusts - Jurassic World
Jurassic Park is one of the most popular movies of all time, but the same can't be said of any of its sequels. There was a steady decline through The Lost World and Jurassic Park III, before a brief spike in Jurassic World was followed by yet another decline.
This culminated in Jurassic World: Dominion, arguably the worst of them all. This may have been expected, as it's not often the sixth movie in a franchise is anywhere near its best, but there was at least reason to believe it may have been a lot better than it ultimately was.
The conclusion of Fallen Kingdom teased dinosaurs roaming freely in the real world. This was a tantalising prospect only heightened by the release of Battle at Big Rock on YouTube, a genuinely good short set between Fallen Kingdom and Dominion.
When Dominion actually released however, in spite of all the marketing pointing towards it, the story wasn't about dinosaurs in the wild at all. They were just kind of there in the background, something truly criminal for a Jurassic Park movie. Instead, the film brought back Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and Laura Dern to save the world from killer locusts. Name a bigger downgrade than being promised dinosaurs, only to be presented instead with big insects.
