Each film in the series was written by the same screenwriter but shot by a different director. The original was high on octane but relatively tame in terms of elaborate action sequences.
The result was a huge hit in every sense of the concept and the franchise has been utterly outrageous ever since. And while the subsequent installments featured plenty of gripping set pieces the tone was discernibly less dark. However the movie—about a retired assassin seeking revenge on the men who killed his dog—quickly distinguishes itself by way of a comprehensive and thoroughly realized mythology.
While the sequel is ranked slightly higher on IMDb most fans enjoy both installments with equal relish. You may also like: Mistakes from the 50 best movies of all time. The first film in the series—directed by Gary Ross—delivered a promising but uneven start to the franchise. The movie was a big hit and it remains a cornerstone of comedy to this day. In an early unreleased version of the first film, the Griswolds take a powerful businessman hostage at the end of the movie. While that sequence was eventually cut , a very similar plot device would end up appearing in the third installment.
In the movie, Superman turns his back on his own superpowers in order to be with Lois Lane just as three Kryptonian bad guys are descending upon the planet. Unfortunately for those fans the first big-screen adventure involving Captain Kirk and his crew aboard the USS Enterprise was a fairly disappointing affair. The film is rife with memorable characters and sequences and it remains an important benchmark in the franchise as a whole.
Making the most of its low budget, the film earned a healthy cult following with acclaimed horror writer Stephen King being one of its biggest fans. Thanks to improved production values heaping amounts of gore and no shortage of twisted comedy, the sequel was a massive hit with fans.

Partly inspired by '70s conspiracy thrillers , the film sees its titular hero being branded a traitor by his own government before doing battle against a superhuman antagonist. By tackling broader political themes the sequel effectively stepped outside its own formula-bound box with audiences and critics definitely taking notice. Considering the dark trajectory the DC universe has taken, Superman Returns has aged incredibly well. While every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie is technically a sequel to every single previous MCU movie, Thor: Ragnarok qualifies for this list in both ways—it's better than the previous two Thor films, and it's one of the best MCU movies ever made.
Gone are most of the characters from those previous films, and instead we get a story in which Thor Chris Hemsworth finds himself stranded on a foreign planet without his weapon, without his luscious locks of hair, and with his home world in danger.
What ensues is a hilarious, loose, and silly sci-fi romp that is one of the most enjoyable blockbusters in recent memory. Ragnarok plays with character dynamics in a great way, as Waititi builds on the inherent contention between characters like Thor and Hulk, Thor and Valkyrie, Thor and Loki, Valkyrie and Loki, etc. We understand that Thor cares deeply about his planet and his people, and the story moves along thanks to these engaging pairings, but Waitit's primary goal is having fun.
It's a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, but also doesn't devolve into a slap-happy joke fest with zero stakes. Waititi walks a very fine line, delivering a sequel that is absolutely the best Thor movie yet.

But their scam backfires when they unknowingly invite a spirit into their home that possesses Doris. Origin of Evil is an interesting entry for its decision to jump backwards in time instead of continuing the story from the previous film. It's a welcome change that shakes up the story in new and exciting ways especially in a time period without modern ways to call for help, like cell phones with some fresh scares.
It works as a surprisingly successful and well made period piece, and director Mike Flanagan The Haunting of Hill House connects it back to the first film in a smart, uncontrived way that makes it a fresh and worthwhile follow-up. The Purge: Anarchy is the perfect antidote for viewers who felt cheated by the promise and potential of the first film. While The Purge was mostly a home invasion thriller taking place in one location, Anarchy opens up the world of the annual Purge, where any and all crimes are legal for a hour period, and takes it to the streets.
Naturally, chaos abounds. It's a feast for the eyes as well as serving to increase the film's levels of suspense since the very state of the annual Purge means that danger could be lurking behind any corner.
Anarchy features several stories that we follow separately before their eventual intersection. The sequel's approach to character-driven horror is a welcome and smart one, giving us reason to care about what happens to the characters when they find themselves in horrific circumstances.
Thanks to its prioritization on characters, suspense, and expanding the world of the Purge itself, The Purge: Anarchy both lives up to its promise and surpasses its predecessor. Two years after Rob Zombie 's directorial debut with House of Corpses , he followed it up with the much better sequel, The Devil's Rejects. While House of Corpses has the frenetic energy and wild editing of a music video, The Devil's Rejects features a more refined and focused sense of filmmaking from Zombie, and is a much more polished final product.
