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) |

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.

I know that the Matrix sequels get a lot of hate, but I really loved them and think you should definitely give them a watch. In fact, often, I watch the three films as a triple feature. Recently, I played Saints Row IV, which references just about everything and one of the main references was the Matrix movies, which actually made me want to watch them again (I have probably seen them dozens of times).

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.

I definitely agree that the first Matrix is the best in the series, but the others were also quite good, in my opinion, also. I saw the first Lord of the Rings. I am not really a big fan myself. I don't really like the fantasy genre. I do love science fiction though. Almost as much as horror.

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