Is there such a thing as a good Part IV?


The trilogy had a great ending. Why ruin it?

reply

From the top of my head,

M:I Ghost Protocol
John Wich Chapter 4
Fury Road
Rambo 4
Rocky 4 &
ST: The Voyage Home

The main reason I'm genuinely excited for this is cause the trilogy was great. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this world they set up.

Avengers Endgame
Thunderball

Rocky 4

I liked the first movie of this series, but didn't like 2 or 3. It's unlikely I'll watch part 4.

reply

I think 4 is a bit of a change from the previous , like Star trek 4, you might like it , but I'm no Rocky expert , or fan particularly

reply

Sorry, I meant regarding the Planet of the Apes series. Of that series I liked 1, but not 2 or 3.

I'm a big Rocky fan and love them all. Even 5 which isn't a good movie.

The Matrix Resurrections isn't a bad movie. You just didn't understand it, man.

Someone actually said that to me, with a straight face.

reply

Too funny!

reply

I liked it, it was better than Reloaded/Resurrections Imo

reply

I think you mean Revolutions.

reply

Yes lol

reply

No worries. The sequels all kind of blend together.

reply

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is BELOVED?????

In the original Apes series, part 4, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, is usually considered either #2 or 3 in quality after the original.

reply

I considered saying Conquest and I believe it was quite well received, but really it and Escape are so dumb.. I mean the Apes escaping on Taylors downed ship! , and then the whole business of Cornelius suddenly revealing the Apes took over after some space virus wiped out cats/dogs so humanity wanted., apes as pets?? And then Apes took over? Wow even back as a kid/teen I figured that was ridiculous and tarnished the original (2) Heston movies where it was obvious it was due to some man made nuclear war that obliterated humanity and the fallout brought about the upside down world of the apes (which happened over thousands of years, not the near future as in Conquest). At least the remakes portrayed all that more realistically.

Sharknado IV

Part 4s that I like, personally are:

Scream 4
American Reunion
Friday the 13th - The Final Chapter

reply

Police Academy 4 was great

reply

Fast and the furious.

The series didn't start to get good until the 4th one!

reply

for me it was the 5th one, when they started getting really crazy.

reply

True, but four kind of laid the foundation for the new direction of the franchise.
