Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It is a common occurrence in Hollywood that the first movie in a major franchise is well-established as the best. Filmmakers hope that they can produce a movie sequel that is better than the original, but this is no small feat. As the franchise loses steam, they sometimes resort to cheaper or video-release sequels that the major review sites don’t even bother to score.
The first sequel suffered from the loss of Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler, but its biggest problems were in being the follow-up to a Hollywood milestone of storytelling and special effects. On the other hand, Jurassic Park III has a completely ludicrous plot that not even Sam Neil can save. The Jurassic Park sequels could have been good, but they still didn’t need to happen — and neither did the Jurassic World trilogy, which has its own set of problems.
8 Jaws Every movie after the first Jaws is a joke. Close Steven Spielberg set the bar for horrors and thrillers with his tale of a rampaging shark at a Cape Cod beach. The first movie has plenty of great performances, iconic lines, and, of course, its famous haunting score. The second movie asks the audience to suspend its disbelief further when another shark hell-bent on destruction attacks the same beach. While Jaws 2 lost Spielberg, it at least benefits from the return of Roy Scheider.
6 Halloween Halloween is an endless streak of failed movies after the milestone first installment. Close The Halloween franchise has a shocking number of sequels and reboots when the ratings would say that none since the original have been worthwhile. The exception is the surprise hit of 2018's Halloween, with a long stretch of bad movies in between. The fact that creator John Carpenter never planned to make a sequel says a lot about why the franchise has been such a mess since the 1970s.
The How to Train Your Dragon sequels feature two completely generic villains whose biggest contribution to the story is catalyzing character development and epic battles. The plot points of Hiccup’s mother’s secret double life and the Light Fury are somewhat contrived for relationship drama. The first movie’s storyline with no real villain, only the prejudices and misconceptions of the main characters, is the most powerful of the series.
However, Die Hard with a Vengeance came back strong thanks to the new buddy-cop dynamic and the incomparable on-screen chemistry between Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. It is widely considered the best sequel of the franchise, although not the best movie overall, an honor that still goes to the genre-defining first installment. Live Free or Die Hard was well-received, while A Good Day to Die Hard abandons the very premise of Die Hard by making John too prone to violence.
