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.
I'm tempted to say the Rocky series, given Rocky V. But the fact is, III and particularly IV rocked!
Guardians of the Galaxy, The Hangover, Star Wars, The Fast and the Furious, there are so many. Once that cash cow starts squirting powdered milk out of its teats they just keep squeezing.
See, The Hangover is hard to categorize like that, because it's the same movie every time.
Transformers, the Bay ones.
You can argue that the very first one was an honest attempt. But things immediately goes down hill once you get to Revenge of the Fallen. And it just doubles down and doubles down every entry that you would think it is a contest of how many stupid ideas can they get away with and do get away with per entry. I got off at Dark of the Moon because I've seen enough stupid that I didn't care of the other ones.
The Hobbit Trilogy
If you continued on, like I did, into the trilogy of this series, you'll know. An unnecessary, shoe-horned angle of a dwarf and a elf affection. I don't need to say more.
Tbh, the first Transformers is one of my favorite watch-it-when-it-rains-blockbuster, the story is not that bad and the score is just perfect.
Terminator? T2 is regarded as that franchise's best flick and it's only downhill from T3 onward.
Robocop as a franchise also infamously went down the toilet after the first movie, each sequel degraded in quality until the complete mess that was Robocop 3 happened.
Did you all know that there are three Sandlot movies? Oh, and the third involves time travel.
Machete.
Machete was masterpiece.
Machete Kills was so bad that it killed the franchise.
