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.

    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.”

      I can respect the fourth one. Sure, it was a terrible movie but it feels like a deliberate piss take on the idea of reviving the franchise. And I can respect that.

          I said I can respect it, not that it’s good. It feels like a deliberate attempt to torpedo the revival of a series that really didn’t need to be revived. That’s what I can respect, not the movie on its own merits.

        I’m not 100%, but I’m pretty sure Lana undertook it to destroy the series and get the movie studio to stop asking for sequels. It’s like the central theme of the movie.

          The latest Gundam series is like that. The GQUUUUX one. “LET THINGS DIE AND MAKE NEW THINGS INSTEAD” says the original Gundam from the original series in the same art style while looking directly into the camera.
