Worst movies in a film series

I can remember as a kid, loving the movie Speed when it first came out. Then, a few years later, was so excited to see Speed 2 in theaters. Then, after walking out after the show, I can still remember that sense of extreme disappointment..how they could get it so wrong with such a great franchise. I hadn't felt that disgusted about a sequel since then.....until now with a Good Day To Die Hard. I won't even go into how bad this film is on so many levels. (It actually makes even Speed 2 look like a decent movie) That got me thinking though. What are some of your opinions on the worst sequels or terrible movies from a good franchise series. Here is my short list:

A Good Day to Die Hard
Speed 2
Godfather Part 3
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
Batman and Robin
The Next Karate Kid
The Mummy: Curse of the Dragon's Emperor
Jaws: The Revenge

Any others that come to mind?

I agree on almost all those movies, except I actually did like Mummy 3 better than 2... but not by much.

Speed 2 and The Lost World were so bad, I wanted to walk out.

In all fairness to Christopher Reeve, his vision for Superman IV was sabotaged by the distributor.

But throughout it all, my motto was "Dignity! Always dignity!".

There is no topping Superman IV. Even seeing it in a theater on opening weekend at age 15, I was stunned at how awful it was. That is and probably always will be the worst bungling of a beloved franchise installment in movie history.

Jaws does not belong on your list. It was never a good franchise in the first place. That requires at least one decent sequel. Just one great movie followed a stream of garbage only varying in intensity of stench.
