Movie Series You Rank In Release Order
I've been thinking with the up and down quality of some movie series, are there any series of any genre with at least three or more movies where your ranking for them is the release order they came out in? With the first being the best, the second being the second best, the third being the third best, etc.? A lot of user rankings for some movie series vary greatly, but how often do you rank any series in release order? It seems somewhat uncommon but not overly rare.
For me, some series I rank in the order they came out: Jurassic Park RoboCop Iron Man (not counting The Avengers) Paranormal Activity Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (live-action trilogy) |

A New Hope Empire Strikes Back (Empire is better is some ways) Return of the Jedi Also: The Lord of the Rings The Matrix X-men (X-men 2 is better in some ways) |
That reminds me, I've never seen the LOTR films and never saw The Matrix sequels, only the original.

Hmm...
Horror The Alien films (Yes, I like Alien more than Aliens, although I go back and forth on part 3 and 4) The Predator films (Predator, Predator 2, Predators) The Alien Vs. Predator films I considered a separate series although they would go in their release order. Maybe the Children Of The Corn series (It's been awhile since I've seen a few of them) Maybe the Wishmaster franchise (Again it's been a while since I've seen parts 3 & 4) Non-Horor I agree on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I'll have to think about this a little more. |

There's no doubt the 2 sequels are inferior in both cases, but it doesn't mean they're poor films. They all have payoffs for the story lines. |

I did think of the Alien series, but I just saw Alien 3 again this week; my first viewing since seeing it in the theater. Oh my, it's even worse than I remembered. It's so simple as to be dull. I actually liked Alien Resurrection, even though they passed over so many interesting topics they brought up in the film, particularly the Alien social research. |

That's not uncommon for people to prefer Alien to Aliens, though both movies are always close. |
