When it comes to the Mission: Impossible series, you can’t really go wrong with the majority of them (Mission: Impossible II being the closest thing the series has had to a misfire). Still, if one had to be singled out for being top of the line in just about every way, such an honor might have to go to Mission: Impossible – Fallout, especially since the also excellent Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part Onefeels – as of 2024 – a little unfinished. Mission: Impossible – Fallout doesn’t s...

The Planet of the Apes franchise is a seemingly unstoppable one, having been relatively popular decades ago and then finding itself re-energized come the 2010s, thanks to a prequel series kicking off in 2011 with Rise of the Planet of the Apes. That series within the broader franchise has continued to 2024, with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, but to find the best Planet of the Apesmovie, one has to go back about a decade. In 2014, Rise of the Planet of the Apes got its first sequel in the...

The Raid (2011) was already about as perfect as straightforward martial arts movies can get, but then, three years later, things were kicked up a whole other level with The Raid 2. Unlike the first movie, which took place largely inside one apartment complex, The Raid 2had a more large-scale plot that allowed characters to fight in all sorts of places. Things mostly stayed hand-to-hand, but there were more weapons used throughout, and even a car chase at one point. The gargantuan level of vio...

As a series, The Fast and the Furiouswas arguably on shaky ground for much of the 2000s. It kicked off with a movie that was just fine, had a sequel that went a little wilder and is probably over-hated, went back to its roots a little with a new setting in the (somewhat flawed) third movie, and then stuck around in familiar territory with the fourth film… one that vitally brought back the main characters from the first movie in key roles, though. Then, most of the people introduced throughout...

Far from the only Toy Story sequel worth commending, Toy Story 2 is nevertheless the first sequel in the history of the series, as well as the first sequel Pixar ever made. It’s this one and the third Toy Story that remain the best sequels in the company’s history, with Toy Story 2admirably taking the characters from the first into interesting, new, and complex places, all the while introducing various new characters who became series staples. There’s a great deal of fun to be had with Toy St...

The Rocky series has proven to be a surprisingly lengthy one, with the original film in 1976 being an underdog movie that told an underdog story, and went on to be a huge critical and commercial hit. The first Rocky had five sequels over the next 30 years, and was followed by the Creed series, which continued Rocky's story while centering on a new protagonist. The first Creed from 2015 takes what worked about the best Rocky movies and gives it a more modern, harder-hitting feel. It's also pro...

If there's any criticism to be directed towards the largely great Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade it's that it feels a tad familiar to the first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). It's understandable to an extent, because the Indiana Jones series did go into darker, more divisive territory with 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and so maybe something a little safer was needed to conclude what was once considered a trilogy. Still, it's the father-son dynamic between Harrison F...
