The first Jurassic Park movie is all time one of the greatest films ever made with the special effects still holding up to this day. The 2nd film was still very enjoyable in my opinion but it was just a cookie cutter sequel not bad, not good. The 3rd film wasnโ€™t great at all. But compared to the rest of the series the 3rd film is basically the godfather.

As another personal pick the 1st blade movie is a hood classic good. The other 2 not so much.

Tron. It ends with tossing out the one before and letting Jared Leto get his stink all over it.

Marvel Cinematic Universe should have stopped sometime before Phase 4 (Eternals, Black Widow, Wakanda Forever, Multiverse of Madness).

The Matrix should have ended at 1.

The Jason Bourne movies should have ended when Jason Bourne's story was concluded, without extending it to Aaron Cross's story, played by Jeremy Renner.

    Endgame was iconic, genuinely fun and an incredible accomplishment. I would love to have ended there, even have the spiderman movie to show the repurcussions and coking to terms with what happened and showing that the universe continues. It would be a great cap to end with what ended up being a spiderman origin film.

    I liked Loki and a few others, could have been considered spinoffs in the vein of dealing with the aftermath.

    Then reboot

    It was supposed to be.

    They wanted to make 3 movies but they were told to do one so they squished it into a single movie. When it did really well they were told they could make the other two and they had to come up with new stories.
