It would be far more interesting to ask, what movie franchise DOESN'T get worse with each new film.
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.
It’s not even slightly like that.
cough alien requeim cough
That's Aliens vs Predator, not Aliens.
Aliens, Terminator 2, The Dark Knight are the first three that come to mind - but yes, in general sequels tend to be inferior.
Or which one gets BETTER with each new film.
star wars up until rise of skywalker
now, im going to put some popcorn in the microwave. be right back
If you go by release date then that can’t be true considering the prequels (even though I love them). TFA was also so bland compared to the rest. The Last Jedi was the only decent one since the original trilogy imo.
But oh my god rise of skywalker is so fucking bad.
rise of skywalker was so terrible they should have let rian johnson just do his thing again, even if people hated it like TLJ at least it would have had some thought put into it
TLJ at least is a real movie. Rise of Skywalker meanwhile is so soulless it’s shocking.
i liked TFA. It was a decent flick. But then they just got so. much. worse.
last jedi is my 2nd favorite
them's fightin' words.
my popcorn is ready
TLJ would've been a great third film in a trilogy. It absolutely sucks balls as the second film. It killed practically all the story lines from the first, leaving basically nothing for the third, including the main bad guy. Hux would've never been a good "ultimate enemy", and if Kylo Ren became one, it would completely overturn everything the previous eight films worked on.

TFA is the first...
Oh yeah, woops! My bad! I meant to reply here.
John Wick? They are not like the best movies in the world but they do get better.
