the first movies are pretty decent, but i do not fathom how it continued past… idk, the fourth? and then became a different series set in the same universe
like the setting is interesting but not that interesting, and it very much falls apart if you scrutinize it too close. It’s basically just a theme park in story form: good atmosphere and some specific memorable bits, but it’s only good if you go there for a few hours then leave and go on with your life and maybe revisit every few years.
It’s beyond satisfying for me to as a child to see the books were badly made, and increasingly less edited, and now other people have had blinders removed with improved media analysis and just growing up.
