OT - Worst/Weakest/Least Favorite Film In a Series


Had this here before sometime ago. Of the following movie series that have at least three or more movies, which installment to you find the be the worst/weakest one overall? It doesn't have to be a movie you dislike, just which is your least favorite. Remakes, crossovers and prequels count in any series that has them. With so many new sequels and remakes/reboots out now and coming out I thought this would be fun to do.

My picks for each:


Star Wars - The Phantom Menace

Indiana Jones - The Last Crusade. Still love it though, just enjoy the others more, though this one and Crystal Skull tend to swap for me.

Lord of The Rings - Haven't seen any so far, believe it or not.

Alien - Alien Vs. Predator

Predator - Alien Vs. Predator

Terminator - Rise Of The Machines

RoboCop - RoboCop 3

Star Trek - I've only seen First Contact and liked it.

James Bond - Don't remember which I've seen, so abstain for now.

Jurassic Park - Jurassic Park III

Batman - Batman & Robin

Superman - Only seen Man Of Steel and Batman v Superman; love the former and think the latter is meh.

X-Men - The Last Stand

Spider-Man - Spider-Man 3.

Marvel Cinematic Universe (overall) - Like them all a lot and have a hard time picking a least favorite. I guess Iron Man 3 but I still enjoy it a lot.

Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 1 - Tough choice. I suppose Thor, but I still like it.

Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2 - Probably Iron Man 3.

Iron Man - Probably 3, but I still like it a lot.

Captain America - The 1990 movie is the only real option. Both the MCU Cap films as well as The Avengers films are amazing.

Hulk - Haven't seen the 2003 movie but saw the 2008 reboot and The Avengers films, all are great.

Thor - Liked them all. Probably the original the least, but it's still very good.

Transformers - Original. At least the sequels were dumb fun in a way, the original to me was just dumb and boring.

Rambo - Rambo III (still love it).

Rocky - Haven't seen any, so abstain for now.

The Godfather - Been so long since I last watched any I can't fairly say.

Die Hard - A Good Day To Die Hard.

Lethal Weapon - Probably Lethal Weapon 3, though it's still pretty good.

Back To The Future - 3, but I still like it.

Planet Of The Apes - Only seen Rise/Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and loved both.

The Fast And The Furious - The original. Not bad but forgettable, IMO.

The Expendables - The original, in all honesty. Not bad, but it doesn't fully utilze the concept, IMO.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Probably the third, though I don't think it's horrible.

Godzilla - Been too long since I watched the older one, need to go through them again. The recent 2014 film is definitely not the worst.

King Kong - See Godzilla.

MAD MAX (1979)
THE ROAD WARRIOR (1982)
BEYOND THUNDERDOME (1985)
FURY ROAD (2015)

Each shiny and chrome in their own way. THUNDERDOME is the weakest because it leans on an MTV ethos.

The intro-outro songs by Tina Turner are good, okay for the film. Great action, even with the long wait to the end car chase. Good story deals. But the jazzy musical score is anti-Max. Mixing/confronting the character with children is hard to pull off, they mostly do. The failure is moving Max too far forward too fast, and mixing in Spielberg-type emoting and humor.

Sorely missing the symphonic score by Brian May and a focused approach to match the other three.

What no man Can give ya. And none Can take away.
