JJ Abrams is entirely unsuited to third acts, at least in a writing capacity.

So sadly this. šŸ˜¦

Whatā€™s the track record here? Do most of his projects fall apart at the end?
Iā€™m really not very familiar with JJā€™s works. Iā€™ve seen the Trek reboot and TFA. Thought both were ā€œmehā€ but not bad.
And he had something to do with Cloverfield, which I liked quite a bit.

He was the Producer of Cloverfield.

In terms of writing, he was involved with Super 8, Lost, TFA, Armageddon, and Mission: Impossible 3, among a few others that I havenā€™t seen. I also havenā€™t seen Lost but itā€™s infamous for flubbing the ending, so Iā€™ll count it. Of these projects, Super 8, Lost, and TFA have fumbled their endings. Armageddon and MI3 were serviceable in this regard, but one of these was a verifiable mess throughout. So really my hope for Episode 9 rests entirely on the strength of Mission Impossible 3, and that gives me copious amounts of pause.
