Comments on: Top 10 Best Fourth Movies in a Franchise https://www.scene-stealers.com/top-10s/top-10-best-fourth-movies-in-a-franchise/ Movie Reviews That Rock Tue, 03 Apr 2012 00:54:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.2 By: wayne swab https://www.scene-stealers.com/top-10s/top-10-best-fourth-movies-in-a-franchise/#comment-8853 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 21:44:05 +0000 http://www.scene-stealers.com/top-10/top-10-best-fourth-movies-in-a-franchise/#comment-8853 I can’t believe there is a bitchtreal going on about INDY 4. That movie was so bad I fell asleep in the theatre. And yes I did see it again. It was one bad scene after another. The CGI was horrible, but even the real-life stunts were obviously catered to a 65 year old, wannabee action star. The fact that I just wrote 65 year old, wannabee action star, should end this conversation.

RAMBO was badass! The last 40 minutes played out like The Wild Bunch. RAMBO should have made the top 3. Sylvestor Stallone is the second coming of Sam Peckinpaw.

I recently watched all 4 Rocky’s and part of part 5 in a week’s time. The first one was great, but the rest went from bad, to kind of gay, to really horrible, and finally unwatchable. All that being said, it was still better than the Phantom Menace.

LAND OF THE DEAD was awesome, and Sudden Impact probably should be number 1 on this list.

TOM E. I went to UT when Manning was there. Just as Manning led his team to a bowl game, Woodson led Michigan to theirs. Both players equally as important to their respective teams. However, Manning lost his bowl game; while Woodson played over his head and almost single-handedly won his. I know they voted before the bowl games, and Manning should have won the trophy, after the bowl games it seemed that the voters made the correct choice.

I think people have an inflated idea of how ‘realistic’ the old Indy movies are. It’s always been over the top, serial adventure fun. I think the CGI of the new Indy is probably what set off the bullshit alarm in fans more than anything else. Its the most obvious formal difference…

It is no more ridiculous than the previous three. You’re just not twelve anymore and have finally accepted that you’re not going to grow up to be Harrison Ford. Your response to the other three would have been the same if they didn’t have the glow of newness attached to them.

Aliens, religious mythology, it’s all the same to me–fiction!

It is terrible. Aliens have NO PLACE in Indiana Jones. Indy is about religious mythology, not bloody Aliens. The film was just a money spinning pile of crap for Lucas and Spielberg and it is a complete insult to the original movies.

Heck, Alien Resurrection deserves to be on this list above Indy 4. Or Rocky 4. Or Police Acadamy 4. They are all crap, but nowhere near as insulting to the original films as Indy 4 was.

Especially Harry Potter: We must obey the cup, and Star Wars: It was just midiclorians all along. Are you trying to say that there are only 1 or 2 good 4th movies, and so even 3rd place has to suck?

I found this page to see if there were any good 4th movies. You listed one I hadn’t thought of, Star Trek IV. I also thought of another, T.M.N.T. It isn’t really good, but it doesn’t suck.

The ending scene, as expected, leaves room for sequels. I don’t want to give spoilers though. Anyone know if there is a way to put things under spoiler tags in the comments?

Such a letdown. I can’t even talk about it. However, I still maintain that Rise of the Machines was worse, though it may be that my expectations were higher for that one. Sadly, I learned my lesson.

Seriously, Rocky IV! I love all of the Rocky movies passionately, and IV was my favorite as kid – probably because it was most contemporary for me at that age. I’d have to admit, I was horribly disappointed by Rocky V when it first came out, but on repeat viewings, I’ve actually come to appreciate it. Okay, enough about Rocky, sorry, but if there’s a Rocky marathon on TNT I’ll be watching. “I must break you.”

Oh, and speaking of Stallone, the new Rambo was so great! Everything a Rambo movie should be, and more (more blood and guts, that is). And, Sly had the cortesy to leave the shirt on his 60 yr old body – through the entire movie.

Also, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is awesome – possibly my favorite of the franchise. Feldman is so incredibly creepy in the end when he shaves his head and goes apeshit on Jason. And, Jason’s face is super-awesome-gross when his mask comes off!

Great calls on The Muppet Christmas Carol (probably my favorite, but it’s a close call), Die Hard, Land of the Dead, and Star Trek IV!

Sadly, Indiana Jones (I love the franchise, but couldn’t keep my eyes open in the theater – which I deny had anything to do with my raging hangover), and Star Wars I (IV) were both so incredibly terrible. Honestly, when you get to number four in a series, it has to at least be able to be consistent and true to the original feel, because all it’s really got going for it is our sentimental attachment to the original.

Thanks for the fun list, Eric!
