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

So sadly this. 😦

What’s the track record here? Do most of his projects fall apart at the end?
I’m really not very familiar with JJ’s works. I’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 haven’t seen. I also haven’t seen Lost but it’s infamous for flubbing the ending, so I’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.

What he did with Trek and TFA has made me hate him.
