Oh poor Alien 3. It had everything going against it. David Fincher did a brilliant job with what he had, but it was like Michelangelo carving David out of shit. I liked the return to the claustrophobia, and everything felt dangerous. The twist of having Ripley infected was perfect at that point. The writers and development hell had painted them into a corner so they had no choice but to end it that way.
For me:
The Mummy 2 took the over the top from the first one and just made it stupid.
With the exception of Nolan's Batman movies, I hate any sequel that replaces key characters with actors different from the originals. Like the Crow 2.
The 2nd and 3rd Tremors undid what made the original work.
The Saw movies beyond 2
Any Highlander after the original
The New Testament - Jesus really really pussified the narrative with all that love and understanding shit. That god would never have destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah let alone turn an innocent woman into a pillar of salt for looking over her shoulder. (I'm kidding)
