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.

    Alien at least had the second film better than the first, which was a hell of an accomplishment since the first film was great. Fortunately they never even made any movies after the second one.

      Come on, now. The third was OK, the fourth was enjoyable, and Romulus was phenomenal. It was basically “let’s take the best bits from Alien and Aliens and stick them together” and they did it brilliantly.

        C’mon, killing off Newt and Hicks at the start of the third was unconscionable. It’s in the same category as “somehow, Palpatine returned”.

          “Somehow Palpatine returned” is lazy writing forced on them due to Snoke dying in the previous film.

          Hicks and Newt dying is perfectly reasonable in the world the action takes place in.
