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 wasnโt 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.
Which franchise doesn't get worse with each consecutive movie?
Mad Max. Evil Dead.
The Lord of the Rings
The lord of the rings trilogy could be a single long movie. I feel like it fits but really isn't in the spirt of the question.
I feel like it needs to be "First movie was so good, so they made a sequel"
Universal Soldier
I pray the Spaceballs sequel will be good and i'm not even religious
They already fucked up the name so we'll see
cant believe im scrolling 1/2 way down and couldnt find
~~The power of family~~
Fast and Furious Franchise
JP went from a Dinosaur Movie to a very generic monster movie with the exact same plot every time.
Greedy evildoer wants SuperDino for nefarious purposes and must be defeated. Repeat.
Pirates of the carabian.
The first was a masterpiece in comedy.
The second and third were good but I would still rate them slightly worse each gen.
I am indifferent to 4 and hate 5
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.
so most franchises usually have a product Decline?
Terminator 2 was better. Ouija 2 was better. Empire strikes back. Back to the future 2.
I can't think of any more.
The actual question should be: which doesn't?
Yeah, that's all I can think of right now.
Lord of the Rings barely counts, because not only were all three books out and classics before the movies started (obviously), but the three movies were basically worked on at the same time. It's nuts, but somehow they managed to do it.
So it's not like they released the first, got crazy hype, and then phoned everyone up and said "electric Boogaloo, you in?". They'd already shot most of the second and third by the time the first came out, as I recall.
Also I really liked Glass Onion ๐
Not a film really but Marvel films have been in rapid decline since Avengers 1
For me the peak was Endgame
Infinity war was really good. Endgame was a fucking disaster. It was a horribly written piece of shit that proved to marvel that they could make a ton of money off of complete garbage.
I would argue that Blade II is the better movie. Guillermo del Toro is a much more interesting director, and the Reapers are basically a dry run for his take on Vampires in The Strain.
