Grating Ratings: Third in a Trilogy, Part 1 of 4

Here are some movies that are the third of three in its series:

  • Godfather Part III: D- This is the classic "ruining a classic series by making one too many". The Godfather Part II was a great sequel and even won six Oscars . . . and then they had to go and make this.
  • Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves: F Execs knew this was a lousy idea, I think, so that's probably why it went straight to video. They did shrinking, then they did enlargening. And now we're back to shrinking again? Been there, done that.
  • Major League: Back to the Minors: C+ This one isn't up there with the original, but it really wasn't that bad a movie for its genre. The only real problem is the oxy moron between the title and the subtitle.
  • Naqoyqatsi: A- If you enjoyed Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi, this one lives up to the same standards.
  • Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over: C- This one really played like a direct-to-video film. It lacked the luster of the first two Spy Kids movies.
