10 Upcoming Movie Sequels Nobody Wants
3. Jurassic World Rebirth
It's genuinely sad to watch a once outstanding film franchise limp toward the finish line. Jurassic Park is one of the most iconic and influential movies of all time, and though some have been better than others, none of its five sequels have come even close to catching that same lightning in a bottle.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park is still arguably the best of the bunch, while Jurassic Park 3 was a huge disappointment. Jurassic World offered hope of a fun rejuvination of the franchise a decade later, but Fallen Kingdom and Dominion saw a steady and swift decline.
After the latter promised a world in which dinosaurs lived alongside humankind in the wild, only to deliver a storyline revolving around locusts while wasting the return of the original trio of Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, it seemed as though the franchise was done for good.
Somehow, a soft reboot of sorts was greenlit. Jurassic World Rebirth will move away from Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), but even having names like Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali attached doesn't conjour up much excitement for yet another instalment in a tired franchise. Just let this one die, please.
