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.
Pirates of the carabian.
The first was a masterpiece in comedy.
The second and third were good but I would still rate them slightly worse each gen.
I am indifferent to 4 and hate 5
5 was one of the most insultingly bad movies I’ve ever seen.
I thought 3 was a deal better than 2. 2 was generic Hollywood schlock that dragged in the middle; 3 at least attempted some interesting things, and even bordered on artsy at times.
1 was, of course, the best. Haven’t seen 4 and 5.
The first movie was a complete package that told a story well, and where it ended was the right place to end it all.
But of course, money.
Really tarnished my feelings about the first movie and I don’t think I could even watch it the same way anymore.
