Has any film series ever come back from making a really crappy movie?

Evil Dead did this!

Batman….?

How about the Bond films?

Star wars?

Star wars hasn’t come back so much as just continued…

terminator…not that 1 was that bad, but 2…man !

yes but terminator 3 was a bit depressing… It was just a scene by scene remake of 2 in parts. Still there’s hope for 4 I suppose.

Star Trek 1 and 5 both sucked. Didn’t stop them from making 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8.

Let’s not talk about 9.

I’d say pretty much all of them. I can’t think of one film series that I’ve seen that doesn’t have at least one bad film in the mix.

Highlander?

Godfather Part 4 was much better than Part 3.

Yes, a film series can make a comeback from crappy predecessors. Take, for example, the restart on the Batman franchise. Remember Clooney in a codpiece?

Well the start of the problems with the orginal Batman films was Val Kilmer in Forever. The man has no chin which is a problem in the Batman costume…

and they added nipples to the batsuit…never a good idea

…nooooooo…

which batman was the one where they zoomed in on the bum crack? scarred. for. life.

batman begins, x-men 2, incredible hulk, star trek 2, the new bond movies.
