For some reason, wanted to go through the Resident Evil Series. There are like 5-6 of them or something. Got through 2, anyways, first one is fun - I've seen it several times. Finished the 2nd for the first time and thinking of stopping here - it's pretty bad... and not in a good way

Hot take: I like both the Resident Evil and Silent Hill movies. Yes, they're terrible, but they're those type of movies I can just shut my brain off and enjoy, with just enough fan service to get me through them.

I've been working through the Alien/Predator/Alien VS Predatoror movies and after the first few it seems the same as what you described.
The quality drops massively but they are still fun. I just finished Alien Covenant last night which had some bad CGI but an ok storyline. I think I just have 'The Predator' left then im finished.
We also started the Final Destination series from the beginning the other day. Its been ages since I saw any of them but I imagine it will be the same 'so bad its good' situation.

I love the first two Alien films , have a soft spot for the first Alien Vs Predator movie , the first Predator movie ..and massive disappointment with all the rest ...
I live in hope for a decent addition to the franchise

I have the same assessment as you and think the first 2 Aliens are great, and the first Predator, plus the first Alien Vs Predator.
I do like Predator 2 for the fact that they chose 1997 as the 'future' setting, it's so bad it's good. The story actually works and the characters are great.
The others (including Prometheus) didn't really add much and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem was just the worst cringefest ever - theres a part where they are on a helipad next to a helicopter and one of the characters shouts "Get to the chopper". A nice, if unsubtle, nod to Arnie but the fact they are metres away from it makes it a stupid phrase to cram in.
I watched Alien Covenant last night and thought the 'twist'
When the 2 android's, Walter & David, switch at the very end to put the crew in deep sleep and infect the other passengers
was obvious but really good and left it on an interesting end. Overall I liked the plot but the CGI wasn't as good as on others.

Ive only seen the first 3 Alien movies and Prometheus. I didn't watch any of the crossover stuff with predator. I think I was one of the few that enjoyed Prometheus.
I need to catch up. There was abandoned Neill blomkamp Alien that I was super excited for but it seem to have died

I really enjoyed Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.
Also, The Assembly Cut of Alien 3 is waaay better than the original theatrical cut. It’s obvious why Fincher disowned the originally released version.
The problem with these films is the gap between what they teased and what they delivered. The movies are fine -- I guess -- but they are not anywhere close to their potential.
I would agree with that. I thought they were much better movies than the films that directly followed Alien 3 which I understand isn’t saying much but if you want to explore the Alien world further these were much better than what had been put out prior. Also Michael Fassbender’s David might be the best sentient AI villain since H.A.L.
The first AVP is not at all bad for what it is. It could have been much worse and I give credit to the filmmakers for actually trying to make a decent movie when it would have been very easy to phone it in. It's not a masterpiece or anything but I don't mind watching it every once in a while.
Prometheus and Covenant both exited my brain right after I watched them, they have just no staying power, with the exception of one scene in Prometheus that I think anyone who saw the movie will remember. What's especially bad is I'm pretty sure I saw Covenant two or three times in the theater and all I remember about it now is some shots where the alien looked cool. I've only seen Prometheus a few times but it's just not a super memorable movie to me

Yeah, the Alien and Final Destination franchises are in the same boat for me. Progressively worse, but still dumb fun in the moment. At the same time, I'm the same as @gaporter in that I don't honestly remember much about the later movies, even having seen then multiple times each. I do remember liking Danny McBride's part in that movie. He's always been a big goofball to me, but it seemed like he was trying to be more serious here, and I appreciated the effort.
