Ridiculous.
There is only one correct answer for number one:
Nothing will ever be as hyped, or as disappointing. BECAUSE of The Phantom Menace. TROS didn't have 1/100 of the hype.
I kinda agree with this tbh, i was so underwhelmed with this movie after all the hype I had for it.
I remember some initial hype because of Cameron's involvement as a producer, Linda Hamilton's return, being hyped as the true continuation to T2, and much more positive initial impressions than Genisys.
They go into this into the article, but prequels did not qualify for this particular list.Ridiculous.

I just called out Batman Returns. I really enjoy The Last Jedi, but if we are talking about a disappointment AND only the sequel trilogy, I'm looking directly at that one. In either scenario, they should be notable, but not making a serious cut at #1 like that.
As usual, this is a dumb list and from a dumber source who thinks terrorism is sexy.
In their top 10, there are two valid examples. Some other notable ones in the mix, though the effort seems unfocused. I do see the lazy Batman & Robin, when Batman Returns is a better case study.
Crazy that to this day a movie literally about the flaws of hero worship and the effect it can have on a person when they fail to live up to that ideal still to this day has so many takes specifically about how they "should" have unironically let us worship the hero in question instead of portraying him as a person with feelings.
Nailed one. Exorcist II for sure. Highlander is in the conversation, though I think it was a step down in terms of overall appeal in comparison to the universal appeal of the others.
Lmao terminator listed 3 times.
US Marshals is legit great. Shouldn't be in this list
I'd say that is most of the folks who just went to the cinema and saw it, not connected to any further online discourse.
While Reloaded was a huge downgrade I think Revolutions and Ressurection are more fit for such lists. Especially Revolutions because it completely missed the landing for what was supposed to be a trilogy at the time.
Is less about what is the outright worst, it's more about what added overall caution to the brand.
TROS was worse than I expected, and I was concerned when they announced Palapatine's return. Things I didn't expect was Rey kissing Kylo Ren at the end who has been trying to seduce and kill her throughout the films, and they reveal her parents sold her to protect her which is a crazy story idea.
Yes, the original Wes Craven film. The one with a dog flashback sequence.
When you change up a legacy character's personality from how they were portrayed in previous movies (in this case Luke) and have them act in a way that's contrary to how many fans hoped and expected they would, you're going to obviously get some criticism and backlash from the fans. We can argue all we want about whether the fan backlash makes sense, but the fact still remains that as a writer, when you do this type of stuff to beloved legacy character's like Luke, many people might not leave satisfied with it.
