Definitely better than the first. Sure, face-melting a bunch of Nazis is pretty awesome, but Sean Connery, holy-grail healing and super-aging one Nazi wins. Also, JP 1 should have been a little higher. Great music, very epic feel. I think the author of the charts might have actually thought worse about JP 1 because 2 and 3 were so bad.

How could anyone—ANYONE—rate Superman II higher than the original?? The original is a classic, and arguably the best superhero movie ever made, while the second is a poor combination of bad plot devices and poor special effects. Tearing off the “S” and throwing it at the bad guys? Sorry, where did Superman get THAT power??? Ah, I hate to jump in with my, “I agree completely, except for…” comment, but I really have to.

Reloaded is a great, I love the scenes with the Merovingian, the highway chase, the burly brawl, the weapons fight in the hotel, and the Architect. All great, memorable scenes if you appreciate the story. I agree in the ordering though. The Revolutions was the weakest, but it still had some great moments too.

Given the 1984-5 release date of Terminator, it was a fantastic movie on the large screen - for the time. The second, of course, was much better. This may also account for Raiders II getting any blue in the box at all: only someone who was a similar age to that little bratty kid would rate that piece of trash at all. (IMHO, YMMV!) Still, a fun exercise. Thanks for sharing! I think some of those with low first-feature scores reflect a series where the rater saw the second film first, then saw the first.

Neither 2 nor 3 are any good, but 3 is definitely worse than 2. Also, Rambo deserves a special mention for 4 being awesome.

The movie was pretty enjoyable, but if you read through the book, it makes the movie seem so cheesy and hollywood-ized by comparison.
