Jurassic Park. The original was a horror/thriller that would have had to be unrated if they made it literally from the book. Instead, we got a PG-13 family film that really did not live up to the book.
In fact, it’s the first time that I read the book before seeing the movie, and I learned to never ever do that again.
The worst part of all these stupid spin off movies (besides how atrocious I’m assuming they are) is that they significantly reduce the likelihood we will ever get a movie that is faithful to the book.
I think since the Jurassic World series started, all of the reboots have mostly been “remember this” from the first movie, and none could really be anything more than that. Every one has to include a scene that’s a homage to the original. Honestly feels like the franchise needs to have a genre switch up to force it to be something original.
I mildly enjoyed that the message of Jurassic World was “This park (movie) is a soulless project that shouldn’t exist and only props itself up on increasingly mindless spectacle.”
