Why are so many third films in a franchise underwhelming, when the second films can be as good if not better than the original?
Godfather Part II is exceptional, while the third film is often seen as fairly poor.
Aliens is regarded as sublime, Alien 3 is very much not.
Terminator 2 Judgement Day is generally seen as the best film in the franchise (I still like the first one). The third one is mostly carried by Arnie.
Lethal Weapon 2 arguably has better villains than the first one (Joss Ackland’s best peformance arguably). The third one fees like a regression and the villain is pretty small fry.
Only exception I can think of is possibly Die Hard With a Vengeance (I personally prefer Die Hard 2, but Samuel L Jackson is decent in the third), but you still feel like you would rather be watching the more interesting Gruber brother, Hans rather than Simon.

Boxer Corrie Sanders (1990’s). Sanders would go on to demolish Wladimir Klitschko within two rounds, to win the WBO title. He was also a hero outside the ring, giving his life to protect loved one’s during a robbery.

We have had the hill giant club (melee), we have had the bryo staff (magic). Now, the last F2P unique should be the war sling (ideally fires skulls, but if not then stones).

What is your favourite end fight scene in a film that is brains over brawn?
I really like the one between James Bond and Brad Whittaker in The Living Daylights (1987). The way Whittaker opens the fight with a rather clever trick and fitting to his character treats the battle as a wargame more than anything else. They don’t engage with hand to hand once, as they don’t need to.
It is to me, only second to Sean Connery’s battle with Oddjob in Goldfinger (1964). I like how believable Whittaker is as a villain, there isn’t a scheme for world domination or stuff, just a guy acting as his own rogue state.

Were there any Union generals who were criticised for being sympathetic to the Confederacy? Or at least viewed as lenient on the South, after the War?
