Thread 212932071

Can the Jurassic Park franchise ever get back to good scripts, or is it too far off the rails?

>>212932071 (OP)
At this point, it has a new fandom, that would be mad if you tried to do something other than just generic monster flicks.

>>212932071 (OP)
The last one was the best since the 1st, and it was still trash.
So it proves the only good premise for a movie is a “fresh” one, so no.
In order for good dinosaur kino to return it requires a new franchise.

>franchise
I thought you needed at least two good movies to be a franchise

>Jurassic Park
>Jurassic World
call the next group Jurassic Land and do a soft reboot

What can you even do with that concept?
>Dino park on an island and it malfunctions?
Done in JP1
>Dinos on a different island escape to the mainland and wreck havoc
Done in JP2

From then on it's the same concept or retarded monster-dinos.

>>212932071 (OP)
needs to go off the rails and just be a movie entirely from the pov of dinosaurs

>>212932071 (OP)
There's still room for good stories in the JW universe. For example, Rebirth could have been alright without the annoying family, if it were just a team of mercenaries getting picked off by dinosaurs. That's all these movies really need to be at this point, fun action movies with interesting characters. They don't need to reference or tie into the original JP anymore.

>>212932071 (OP)
when in doubt go to space

>>212932071 (OP)
No. Jurassic Park was at its place in time where humanity was still optimistic (and blindly capitalistic from Chrichton's POV). None of the concepts of the series make sense in clown world where we're all just waiting for as peaceful an end we can get. There's no new beginning on the horizon.

No Jurassic Park film has had a good script.

You've just been fed pure shit for so long you're nostalgic for half-and-half shit and porridge.

>>212933311
Could definitely work, maybe as an animation. A little dinosaur trying to survive the big predators and humans after the park systems break. For extra nostalgia points make it happen during the events in the first Jurassic Park.

>>212933159
actual source material #2 would be far better than the Spielberg garbage we got.

>>212932071 (OP)
It's just really shitty writing and shark jumping that's holding it back.
World (open park) and Fallen Kingdom (active volcano threat) both had GREAT concepts but unfortunately were written and directed by brownoids and nepo babies that only want to appeal to Funko Pop aficionados.

At this rate, the only way Jurassic Park ever becomes "good" again is, and I hate to say it, by redoing the whole thing and actually fleshing this shit out.

>Can the Jurassic Park franchise ever get back to good scripts

the question is why would they bother? the people who go see these movies are apparently going to keep coming back no matter what. it's like asking if there's going to be any more good Halloween movies.

They need to do one and frame it like a documentary, following the dinosaurs and their behavior. Filming dino fights and mating competition, etc.

Jurassic Park is Spielberg's weakest movie pre-2000

>>212934474
>haven't seen 1941
>haven't seen Always

more like cretaceous park desu

>>212934594
1941 is worth six Jurassic Parks

>>212932071 (OP)
It's a theme park/zoo movie. How many of those are there? There's not enough things you can do with it. Thus the franchise became a monster one. You could maybe do something like Beverly Hills Cop 3, where the theme park is just part of the setting, but the main plot isn't really connected to it.

Don't pussy out again and embrace dinosaurs in modern human civilization. The sauropod in New York was one of the best scenes in Rebirth.

>>212935338
Shut the fuck up, Boco.

this

>>212936505

Yes sir...

>>212934440
The Blairasauros Project

>>212932071 (OP)
You cannot make a good dinosaur movie when the movie is made for no other reason than have dinosaurs onscreen. Same with Alien, same with Godzilla, same with anything.

>>212932489
>not Jurassic Galaxy followed by Jurassic Universe
After they literally went with dinos unleashed on Earth the franchise fell to Jurassic Park vs Art the Clown tier of nonsense
Imagine the military of any country being fine with letting bigass predators roaming on civilized lands or just fucking up the ecosystem in the wilderness

>>212932071 (OP)
The story only worked as a single film. It's not possible to make a good franchise out of it because you're just repeating the same thing over and over.

>>212937469
Aliens kind of works because you can set up different scenarios involving a reason to be in contact with them. Other stuff doesn't because they all involve earth and a monster being on the loose. After a while it's like "well just kill them and be done with it".

>>212932071 (OP)
The story only worked as three films

>>212937575
Lost world wasn't a good story. 3rd was ok at best.

>>212932071 (OP)
The only good one was the first one. Here's an idea: Jurassic Park on Mars. After terraforming Mars in 3000 CE, raptors are transported by shuttle to Mars, but they... ESCAPE!
That'll be $10k USD plus 2% royalties and a percentage of toy sales.

JP = LW >>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest

>>212934038
It sure worked for Dino Crisis

>>212937469
I think you can if you cut the human characters.

>>212938024
Incorrect.
JP >>> JPIII > TLW >>>>>>>>> The rest

Just do Jurassic Park 4 and pretend the Jurassic World movies don't exist.

>>212934474
>>212934254

Just reboot it starting with 2 and stick to the books.

>>212938226
It's called a kid movie.

>>212938827
Make a hybrid TLW and JPIII as the third sequel and make the second one an actual sequel to Jurassic Park with the shaving cream can and everything like they were supposed to.

>Jurassic Park is Spielberg's weakest movie pre-2000
1941, Twilight Zone: The Movie, Always, Hook, The Lost World. Not even close.

idk no matter how bad the jurassic park films get i still enjoy it, i just love seeing the dinos

>>212932489
Nah, they've got to do Jurassic 64.

>>212934474
>Jurassic Park is Spielberg's weakest movie pre-2000

HOOK

THE LOST WORLD

>>212933311
Just watch Walking with Dinosaurs if that's what you're after.

>>212934474
Spielberg himself would tell you The Lost World is his worst film.

>>212934364
'18 was genuinely good, Kills is fun if you just want to see Michael fuck shit up (the "Evil Dies Tonight" thing is completely overblown), and while I would have preferred they stuck with the idea of the whole trilogy taking place over a single night, Ends isn't terrible if you kind of sympathize with the Corey character.

>>212937897
Fuck no. Dinosaurs in space is what killed Dino Crisis.
