Hmm! This is a hard one because the only ones I don't like are the horror ones.
I've had a lot of people diss later movies in franchises/series that 'lose their way' and while I think that's a valid argument, I feel that as long as the movie itself has something to offer, consistency with other movies is kind of secondary. I mean to say that if the film is reasonable on its own merits, then why should we worry that it's not as good as another in the franchise? After all, there are always going to be movies you think are weak or movies you don't like and that's generally subjective.
I like the X-Men franchise and, as you may have guessed from yesterday's entry, I love the Three Colours trilogy. Christopher Nolan's Batman series is shaping up to be good—better than X-Men, despite the delightful X-Men: First Class. I'll eat my hat if the third film isn't brilliant.
Another series looking to be huge is the Marvel franchise, right now a disparate bunch of films about the origins of certain heroes—Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America—which will culminate in The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon. I already know this will be good, but just how good? We'll have to wait until next year.
