2. Jurassic World
That’s right, we’re starting with some controversy at the very next spot. Now, as I said on the last slide, the drop-off here is considerable. In fact, I don’t even really think Jurassic World is a great movie. But it benefits greatly by being so incredibly connected to the original. It’s almost a guilty by association bonus.
Jurassic World answers the question every fan wondered after the original film. What if everything went right? Everyone was safe and the park not only opened but thrived. It’s a very smart way to revisit the franchise and, for the most part, it delivers on those promises. If anything, it’s a bit too ambitious for its own good, but the ideas and links to the original really make Jurassic World stand out.
