Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the theaters...Hollywood must be desperate for ideas.
I didn't even realize they'd made a JP3...
JP1 was good, JP2 was kind of ok good, JP3 was totally corny. I also thought after JP3, Spielberg said he was done with the JP movies, just because JP3 was so bad.
@theobserver Like a gambling addict, Hollywood has trouble not rolling the dice again and exploiting a potential profit. Especially with product licensing for sure hits such as toys and fast food tie-ins. Also, there is the perception of possibly resurrecting the reputation of JP3 in a new and improved JP4.
