Star Trek 2, 3, 4, and 6 all exceed The Motion Picture.
Also, most of the Harry Potter movies. The first was charming, the second was repitious. Im not a fan of the third but most are. The 4th has rightfully mised reviews. But 5, 6 and 8 are all excellent, surpasding the first movie by leaps and bounds.
Yep, as someone who's read the books so much that my coppies are nearly worn out, I am aware.
Truthfully, the first book, simple as it is in comparison to the final few, is equally good as any other to me. After all it was the simple charm and wonder, the more complicated than it seemed but still straightforward mystery, and the wonderful characters in book 1 that hooked millions of readers. The movie captures a great deal of that, but still, due to acting skills improving, better budgets, and better directors, the films have an arc of best to worst that the books do not have, imo.
Ohoh, and Indiana Jones! Personally 3 is my favorite, The Last Crusade. But really all 3 of the originals are great, so this one I'm not as atrongly for.
My husband says, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, far surpasses all other vacations.
Oh crap, AND Back to the Future 3. Come on, the Wild west ones the best one, right?
Also Adams Family Values. That movie is hilarious!
