 Which films from series you love do you skip? When you are watching a film series you like, are there any films in the series you hate so much you just cannot watch them?
I generally do not. Generally if I do not like a film in a series, it is the first or second, and it turns me off watching ANY of them ever again (like Transformers), even if I liked the first.

Re: Which films from series you love do you skip? Funny, I couldn't think of a good example until I read your Transformers comment. I honestly really enjoyed the first one, maybe even loved it, but I hated the second one so much, I'd probably avoid ever watching the first again.

Re: Which films from series you love do you skip? I don't love the Star Wars series, but if I would decide to watch the saga, I'd skip Ep. 1 and 2.

Re: Which films from series you love do you skip? I will revisit Jason Bourne a lot less than the other four, which I love.
I mostly ignore the third and, especially, the fourth Alien films.

Re: Which films from series you love do you skip? Yeah, skipping two out of 3 terminator films makes sense as does the late Die Hard's sadly.

Re: Which films from series you love do you skip? I would skip Batman Returns, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Terminator: Genisys. The latter I try not to even recognise its existence. I would also skip Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and every Die Hard movie after Die Hard with a Vengeance (not even sure I would watch Die Harder but it's one of those that always dupes me because I feel it's not so bad but I usually end up hating it when it's on).

Re: Which films from series you love do you skip? Oh, and I'd also happily skip The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies.
