"Movie trilogies often deteriorate, with every new entry being worse than its predecess or but in rare cases, the second film is the best. There are enough movie sequels that should not have been made, whose existence proves that adding more films to forcefully continue a film idea that apparently has franchise potential doesn't always yield fruitful results. This is why movie trilogies that peaked with the first film are particularly common with properties that weren't originally meant to be trilogies."https://screenrant.com/movie-trilogies-second-film-best/
