Best: Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
There ’ve been a lot of movies that could ’ve stood on their own without a sequel , but that does n’t always happen . Most of the clip , original movies are the good in a franchise , but when it total toTerminator , that ’s not the event . Director , James Cameronre - shape the action at law continuation so it ’s locked and loaded with a well - polish up hurl , amazing digital effects and moments that leave the interview breathless .

Worst: Assassins (1995)
It ’s hard to have a argument about 90 ’s action moving-picture show , without bringing up actors such as Sylvester Stallone . He made a name for himself by 1995 , so there was an first moment from him andAssassinswas definitely unexpected . It was a chip of a flop and perchance it ’s forgivable since the Wachowski siblings were the writers on it . A few years later , they would go on to directThe Matrix .
The writing was over - the - top and the action successiveness were not so nifty ; this was a letdown since the cast was there and it still did n’t save the motion-picture show .
Best: The Matrix (1999)
Though this flick scantily made the 90 ’s , the Wachowski ’s sibling ’s classic action at law / sci - fi flick was blot - on and just what that decennary require . The plot line goes down the coney hole with John Anderson A.K.A. Neo , ( Keanu Reeves ) and bends the creative thinker in all the right places . This movie has it all - it has special present moment throughout and sets the scene for the movies that survey it .
There was no other somebody to play Neo , but at one point , actor Will Smith was considered for it and turn it down forWild Wild West .
Worst: Wild Wild West (1999)
Will Smith was the one of the go - to guys for well - achieved action movie such asMen In Black , Bad BoysandIndependence Day , but this one was a bad decision .
Even a dedicated song byMr . Smithcouldn’t keep open this one , because not only was it one of the worst films of the 90 ’s , it ’s one of the worst films ever . The book was operose to follow and the whole conception is crummy ; Will surprisingly pick this movie instead of play Neo inThe Matrix .
Best: Jurassic Park (1993)
The 90 ’s was n’t as advanced in the CGI - epoch yet , but Stephen Spielberg broke through those barriers withJurassic Park . Not only was it one of Spielberg ’s unspoiled motion-picture show to particular date , but it also was a intermixture of scares and legal action - pack scenes with prehistoric fauna .
This was also the compass point that viewers were treat with extra force andCGI featuresand the film still resist impregnable today . This film would spawn several other movies after it that could n’t match the original .
Worst: Street Fighter (1994)
Jean - Claude Van Dammewas one the 90 ’s best beefed - up actions genius , but his " love to detest " role inStreet Fighteris more bad than dear . Although nostalgic , spectator could n’t get past the fact that Van Damme ’s acting was " wooden " at time and was n’t at all as exciting as the video game . That aspect alone made this a hard - to - please picture and it definitely did n’t please the masses like it could have .
Best: Independence Day (1996)
Before the semi - questionable subsequence came out , Independence Daywas fine standing on its own . witness fall in erotic love with the 1996 blockbuster , as it was fun to see and the shape was packed with sympathetic heroes that were other in their careers .
Jeff Goldblum , Will Smith and Bill Pullman deliver incredible performances and the engineering behind this creepy , otherworldly film was beyond its time .
Worst: Batman & Robin (1997)
BeforeBatman & Robincame out , theBatmanfranchise was doing well because ofTim Burton’stouch and great hurl member ; this one was very camp . George Clooney is an A - lean actor , but he just did n’t make the cap crusader a memorable superhero .
Other punch-drunk characters such as Mr. Freeze ( Arnold Schwarzenegger ) and Poison Ivy ( Uma Thurman ) , only added more fuel to the attack and made it to be one of the cheesiest and disappointing natural process films of the late 90 ’s .
Best: Point Break (1991)
It has been said thatPoint Breakloosely pave the way forThe Fast and the Furiousfranchise , which is loved by a lot of people . This is n’t just a top - open activity movie , there are a lot fantastic scenes with actual signification and the human relationship between insurrectionist surfboarder , Bodie ( Patrick Swayze ) and flat - laced FBI federal agent , Johnny Utah ( Keanu Reeves ) is a match - made in casting heaven . The action - wad scenes stood up for a well - rounded 90 ’s film .
Worst: Speed 2 - Cruise Control (1997)
Fans know that some sequel make an original well and at times , ties things together ; there ’s also a time where a film should stand proud on its own and that wasSpeed . Speed 2 : Cruise Control was a kettle of fish that could ’ve been stopped when Keanu Reeves declined to come back . Instead , Jason Patric took the spot of the new love life interest .
Willem Dafoe was over the top as the scoundrel and the plot was a recap of the original . Also , Sandra Bullockhasmixed feelingsabout the sequel .
