You say all franchises with four or more installments and I would tend to agree: for instance, the fourth Hellraiser was tripe, the third okay, the second quite good and the original good. Trilogies tend to be good and it is indeed the fourth installment that often lets these series down.
What about the Alien series though? Personally, I thought Resurrection was pretty dire; largely reliant as it was on over-the-top gross (CGI?). IMDb gives it 6/10 though; indicating that a lot of people think it has merit.

i actually liked alien ressurection.
and it had a talented director and a good cast ... hardly on par with any of the slasher series ..
yeah there will be exceptions to my thoughts .. i couldnt think of any more franchises when i was writing the note ...
the ones i specifically mentioned were the ones i was thinking about when i wrote the post ..
TCM could be another too i guess ..
or psycho
i'm mostly tired of the Freddy/Jason/Michael holy trio... they were the worst examples of watching good initial movies turn into crap
