duds meaning they were/still are* considered a disappointment critically and just general audience opinion but weren't necessarily flops at the box office but in most cases will have underperformed.
(*of course some may since been reappraised as being ahead of their time)
Alien (A3, AR, Prometheus, Covenant - not including AvPs)
Predator (AvPx2, Predators, The Predator)
Every hellraiser after 2
shareHow could i forget Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The first is a horror masterpiece, every sequel since was a mess (the 2003 reboot was decent)
shareSTAR WARS is up to 8 now:
TPM
AotC
RotS
TCW
TFA
RO
TLJ
SOLO
If you're gonna try to force this thing by including Clone Wars and Force Awakens you might aswell count RotJ in and call it nine duds in a row. Maybe there really are only two Star Wars movies that are truly great films, but I would only say there are two duds in the franchise with RotS and TLJ being almost-duds
Alien 3 was better than Aliens. Not by much though.
I put Aliens on mute the other day and realized how awful it was in compression to the original. Then the famous knife scene with Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton came on and I took it off mute.
After how stupid it all looked in comparison, I had to hit mute again.
Choppy dialogue, subpar special effects with the models, cardboard cutout secondary characters...the film is ** 1/2 stars at best.
this has to be the worst opinion I have ever seen on a site discussing movies ever, or on any site in general for that matter
shareAll those silly soldiers:
"I just need to know one thing...where they are." A jaw dropping embarrassing moment.
Point. Bam. Boom.
The 25-45 minute portion of the movie is pure garbage.
Those silly mercenary soldiers.
That's 20 minutes of straight up screen time for the cardboard characters.
Cameron did the same thing with Abyss.
Agreed Alien3 was better then Aliens but only when you consider it a stand alone film. It was a series killer which is why its ranked so low.

I thought about Halloween but I think altho H2 wasnt too good it wasn't/isnt hated? and HW3: Season of the Witch is now considered something of a cult classic (it wasn't at the time tho) and I think fans were/are kind of ok with HW4: Return of Michael?...then I think 5 and 6 are considered bad. but 7 (H20) was basically what 2018 was for the Scream audience and was a hit and i remember everyone kind of liked it at the time..then 8 was an absolute joke/insult.. then the 2 Zombie remakes are generally considered bad, and finally 2018 which was a huge hit and everyone dug... so as far as can tell there isn't a straight 4 dud run...I might be wrong tho

Halloween 4
I watched HW4 for first time last night (previously only having seen the opening and ending on utube ) have been rewatching some of the HWs over past couple of weeks (H20, H18) and yeh HW4 definitely was pretty good despite the mask being bad (then again its just what Michael could find in the shop lol). the opening credits has a really atmospheric/ominous feel that screams 'halloween time' and having Pleasence back makes it as genuine a HW film as having JLC back for H20/H18. and the end is quite chilling.
am going to watch HW5 tonight for first time :)
Star Wars (the prequels all sucked, the animated movie, Force Awakens was ok, but gets worse with repeated viewings, Rogue One is perhaps the best one they've released since Return Of The Jedi... Last Jedi and Solo are complete sh!t)... I don't know about their box office performance, I guess Phantom Menace and Force Awakens grossed what was expected from them, since they broke records upon release.
