I liked Halloween 3. I thought the Halloween series jumped the shark with 4 and never quite recovered. I thought H20 was half-okay but it didn't do what Halloween II did for me.
Halloween II is at least as good as Jaws 2, as a cheeseball sequel. It's fun.

Isn't it when it lost it kind of line of direction? Isn't that the question? I watched pt 3 again recently, I got into it, but it definatley took the series off track. I can't imagine another movie taking a series that far off track actually.

Well maybe it's a bit of both, but even though Halloween 3 can hold up as a movie I think it still took the series downhill by going of track..
They should never have called it pt 3, just season of the witch.

It's already been mentioned concerning Halloween 3, so I'll leave that one go. I actually liked 4 and 5 as a basic continuation of the themes from 1 and 2.... obsessive madman out to kill someone. They pretty much nailed it. For that particular series I think H20 dragged enough to bore me (and I am rather tolerant of sequels at this point.) Although Resurrection did a good job of making the entire thing interesting despite completely lacking Pleasance and the involvement of anybody related to Laurie Strode.
I would say that 28 weeks later pretty much swung away from 28 Days Later. Too much focus on the american soldiers trying to look cool in the beginning. The entire movie had a very different feel. It was much more about gore and bloodshed than the first one had been. I don't mind that, but it seemed to be lacking the underlying message about society that the first one carried with it. I feel it did a disservice to the original movie by removing that. The third Phantasm...BAD. We watched it anyway because we wanted ot get the entire series under our belts, but we ended up giving it the MST3K treatment. I'm loving this topic, btw. I can't really speak on the Nightmare on Elm street or Friday the 13th series as it's been a while since I've watched all of them. But Jason in outer space was freaking ridiculous. I'm sure that one jumped the shark sooner than that, it's just not coming to me off the top of my head at the moment.

f13 sort of embraced its cheeziness fairly early at least by 3 - but i think the big jump had to have at least been at "Jason Takes Manhattan"

YES.
Thank you. I remember that one now. The scene where he's stalking through the city and...if I remember correctly because it followed on the heels of another Jason movie, there was a shot of him in front of a billboard with his image on it? Very good call.
