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 wasn’t 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.
Terminator 2 was better. Ouija 2 was better. Empire strikes back. Back to the future 2.
I can’t think of any more.
Indiana Jones got better and better for the first 3. Then dumb.
If the Cornetto trilogy counts I think hot fuzz was the peak.
Alien and Aliens. But only because Aliens was deliberately a different genre: so it’s a bit of a stretch.
I see this view everywhere all the time, but personally I strongly disagree. Terminator 2 is good no doubt, but the original had a sense of dread and urgency literally from start to finish that is unmatched in any of the sequels, in my opinion.
Terminator 1 is far superior to 2 in all things cool 80s action and dystopian future.
Terminator 2 is the perfect sequel - expands on the original and shakes things up while maintaining the general feel. I don’t think it would be as highly praised if it wasn’t a followup on the first movie. It would still be a great movie in a vacuum, though, don’t get me wrong.
As such, it’s pretty hard to compare the movies, it will always come down to personal taste.
OK it’s worth a rewatch then
Mad Max
I’m sure there are people who will argue that Back to the Future Part II was the worst of the trilogy. Part III might be the best.
I can agree that part 3 might be the best one as an adult, but as a child that flying DeLorean and hoverboard was the shit in part 2 even though it did have a darker tone.
Here I was thinking the OG is where it’s at. TIL
Sure, but there are like 6 more movies. And they do not get better
Godfather part 2 edges out the original.
Part 3 was a turd.
Definitely terminator 2. As well as the original Star Wars trilogy and back to the future trilogy are the few that I consider good all the way through.
