Isn't 3 better than 2 and World better than 2 and 3? (I didn't actually see 3, so I'm going with what I've been told.)
The bar for worst sequel ever made is quite high.
2 is more divisive. It seems like it was fairly well received when it first came out and then popular opinion cooled on it. A lot of people still like it or will at least defend it, but the people who hate it will go into agonizing detail about how bad it is.
3 is the one that nobody liked very much, but by the time it came out nobody expected much either. It feels closer to a straight to video sequel than a legitimate entry in the franchise. And while it made its budget back, it was by far the least successful movie in the franchise. There's a reason why this was the last one they made until the soft reboot a decade and a half later.
Oh... Looks like I'll continue not have seen 3 then.
I was starting to reevaluate that.
FWIW, I enjoy 3, watched it many times. Ranks behind 1 and World.
I feel like i could write an entire essay on why 3 is the second best in the franchise. For me its JP 1 > 3 > 2 and then none of the World movies are worth the time even if you can watch for free.
I think two was the best one. Maybe not the ending so much but the rest of it sure. Easily better than three though.
Having just watched them all for the first time recently, I put World and 3 on about equal footing, above 2, and the sequels to World below all of that. All of them pale to the original, but some (a lot?) of that has to do with how recognizable parts of that first movie were from cultural osmosis.
