The Matrix
Yeah, a real shame, that
Jurassic Park
.... can we just pretend? Please?
Unpopular opinion, I actually really like the third one
............uhhhhhhh, I would ask your mom if she smoked while pregnant with you. There's clearly something wrong with the development of how your brain came out.
Look, I'm not saying any of them come close to the original, but imo it's the second best of the series (including all the dogshit jurassic worlds) because it sticks to what made the first one great; small amount of people trapped on an island with dinos. The Lost World was like half that but then it turns in to some weird almost king kong-esq thing. Also i love me some Goldblum but he's better as a foil imo and Chris Pratt has nowhere near the gravitas as Sam Neil. Like really besides the annoying parents what do you not like about the third one?
U can just say Téa Leoni is hot
Sure she is, but not in that movie :D
What was wrong with the second movie?
It became a parody of Godzilla movies for no real reason. And it came out of nowhere. I call it the movies 4th act.
Jurassic World is a guilty pleasure of mine.
It's good enough to grip you and at the same time so predictable and full of clichés it's also funny.
Plus, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are both hot as hell.
Promised Neverland s1
I think you wanted to post a top level comment.
Why pretend? There's never were a sequel. Fanfic, yes, not sequel.
I really don't get the hate for the second two.
There was a bit more to the story and required paying attention. The second two had more action that's wasn't directly related to the story but was still good.
As much as I tried to like 4 it was crap.
You call it a trilogy because you reject the fourth one
I call it trilogy because I reject the first one
We are not the same
Jokes aside, I would call 2&3 a long movie, which makes it a trilogy again. One mistake is to see them as separate
The thing is that "excellent" is something they are not... Look I enjoyed the movies too, they can be quite fun. Some aspects are great, the action and stunt work is in my opinion flawless for the time. Some other things were great too and some others not so much. But in general, really they are not good movies if we try to be a bit neutral, and at the very least they can't follow the complexity of the theme from the first movie while making it look so simple like that one did. It may just be the case of standing too close to the sun, the movies as part of the trilogy just can't compare. So people have a feeling of rejection to them. And probably the one thing people find it tough to come to grips with is the fact that the first movie had great action, that helped the movie go forward, while the others just seem to have random action scenes that are just not part of the story. It's just about how they are added into the story.
But don't let that bother you, enjoy the movies, I still do, they are just not the masterpieces the first one was.
And no, its not about wanting the first one again, in essence, I wish the movies would have managed to expand the story in a refreshing way like the Animatrix did. But they just fall flat instead, simple mindless fun that kinda finish the storyline quite OK for me.
Now the fourth part... That was brilliant, a brilliant crap, but brilliant nonetheless. If my guess is not wrong, it was a great middle finger to the movie execs that wanted to squeeze more money out of the movies.
