I would say they aren't as bad as Jurassic Park. Also Jurassic Park has Matrix beat with volume.
2 and 3 isn't as good but it's not bad either? At least they ended the story. JP doesn't even need a sequel and they got like a shit tons.

I was gonna nominate the Hellraiser series, but the reboot movie that came out a few years ago was at least watchable.
I swear my taste in films isn't always so shallow. I like films to have good moral messages and a good story. But sometimes, I also just wanna see cool things on screen. Sometimes, I just wanna see dinosaurs on the big screen.
If you want to see an entry into the Jurassic franchise that actually has a good story, check out the animated series Camp Cretacous and its sequel Chaos Theory
I agree, sometimes you just want pasific rim. Giant monsters fighting giant robots, to a kick arse sound track.
After the first JP, the rest are just cool dinosaurs on screen.
Rebirth was really good in my opinion, arguably the second best in the franchise. Jurassic Park is the best. I'd have to watch World again to compare it, but Rebirth was genuinely pretty good.
i was watching jurassic world in the theatre and drinking heavily. i kept laughing at the god awful dialogue and ridiculous plot points. a couple people glared at me... the first time. The second time the whole theatre was joining in.
it was just so fucking bad. there is something about being in a theatre that helps people not notice the shit, and ive often found that all it takes is some laughter to cut theough the shitty veneer and the garbage is evident.
i enjoyed the movie. but it was not a good movie.
The dude saving the drinks when the pterosaurs were attacking is peak humanity though. Like, that would actually happen.

I'm really confused, if you liked it enough to see it twice in theaters why do you say it's a bad movie?
i only saw it once in theatres...?
not sure where i inplied otherwise....
oh. the first time i laughed. not the first time i saw the movie.
There are more than a few stinkers when you go down the line Alien sequels, especially if you count the Alien VS Predator films.
