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.

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".

    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.

    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.
