The first Jurassic Park movie is all time one of the greatest films ever made with the special effects still holding up to this day. The 2nd film was still very enjoyable in my opinion but it was just a cookie cutter sequel not bad, not good. The 3rd film wasnβt great at all. But compared to the rest of the series the 3rd film is basically the godfather.
As another personal pick the 1st blade movie is a hood classic good. The other 2 not so much.
Is there any what gets better? There are good sequels, but once it becomes movie franchise, it all turns to shit. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower.
The Matrix.
Not sure how that isn't mentioned yet!
First movie was a masterpiece that became a classic, the rest were completely unnecessary.
When my brother showed The Matrix to his kid, she asked "Is there another one?" and he said "No."
Taken 3 makes Taken 2 look like Taken 1.
I felt bad for Lost World, because Crighton went out of his way to write a novel that was a sequel to the first movie, not the first book, and then Spielberg just basically ignored it like it never happened.
I wanted to not see the chameleon dinosaurs, damn it!
It would be far more interesting to ask, what movie franchise DOESN'T get worse with each new film.
