is there another franchise where the second movie is the worst?

Watching the Mission Impossible Franchise, I can say without a doubt the second movie is a bit of a step back in quality under the first.

I still enjoy it, but in a stylized "gun-fu" sort of way. The rest of the franchise is pretty solid and are just well made movies regardless of genre.

Looking back, it seems like it's kind of weird for a franchise to have the first sequel (second movie) be completely outshined by every other movie in the same franchise.

I'm sure there are other examples, what are they?
