What do you think is the best/worst movie series?

Asked by anthony81212 (389points) July 31st, 2008

I’ve always thought the Godfather series was great.
Pirates of the Caribbean had a good start, but it got progressively worse.
What are your favorites/least favorites?

Does 007 count? I love Bond movies but some weren’t so great.

I agree with actor and blogger Wil Wheaton on VH-1’s “I Love the Millenium” who said Lord of the Rings was the redemption trilogy for all geekdom. That trilogy restored geeks from the tragedy of Star Wars I, II, and III.

Truth!

I just watched this a few hours ago and that statement from him is so true.

Best: LOTR, Jaws, Star Wars, and Harry Potter.
Worst: Friday the 13th, Halloween
Series that Will Never Be: His Dark Materials, what a shame….:(

Worst: The Bourne series (Matt Damon = Blech!), or Pirates.
Best: I love the Resident Evil movies (Mila Jovovich is hot), the Before Sunset/Sunrise series, Kill Bill, and the Airplane movies.

@ AstroChuck, I guess so; I can’t believe I haven’t thought of that when asking!

@ tinyfaery: I agree, Kill Bill was great

Best: Terminator (#3 was weak, but the first two were awesome!), Matrix, Transporter, Borne (Sorry, tinyfaery, but I’ve got to disagree—Damon kicks ass in those flicks), Tremors

Worst: Second Star Wars Trilogy, Tremors

I don’t know if anyone has seen “Night Watch”, or “Day Watch”. There’s a third one, but I can’t think of it right now. They were huge in Russia, but not in the U.S.
I liked them though.

I would like to say the best is The Godfather series, but number three is what makes it a series, not just a movie and a sequel, and number three was just awful, so I can’t really vote that way. The Lethal Weapon series or the Harry Potter movies would get my vote.

As for the worst, for me it would be a tie between the Rocky movies and The Karate Kid.

Back to the Future, Bourne series, the original Star Wars films and the Oceans films (Oceans 11, 12, 13). But I have to admit the first film in all of those series is definately the best :) oh…damn what’s it called…Die Hard, that’s the one. Just action packed, late night films that I’ve only seen two of the four. ‘tis good. :)

As for worse series, I’ve never watched any, I only tend to watch the series if the first film appealed.

Best = Bourne series and Godfather, Oceans is decent.
Worst = Pirates for sure.
