3 was great, much better than 2. 2 was a huge clusterfuck of plot holes and just a really dumb movie with a couple cool action pieces.
4 was just mediocre. 5 was just four random action scenes strung together with some awkward drama between no charisma son.
2 is fine I don't get why people don't like it. I like the ending sequence a lot on the runway. It's just not as good as the stellar original because it treads so much of the same ground and has less memorable villains and side characters, but it's like the same thing with the same dude.
Everything about the villains plot, the airport, planes, none of it makes sense at all. There is so many plot holes in the film that just fall apart to basic logic. Like literally John picks up the phone and calls Holly at the start of the movie on the plane (you can't do this), yet then no one on the ground can get in contact with the planes in the sky this same way. But then while this is all going on, folks are able to call from the plane phones without issue as we see the shitty reporter guy do it later on. So the whole them having no communication thing makes zero sense when they could have been contacted.
Theres also a ton of logic problems, like how the bad guys are forcing planes to crash, which ignores the fact that planes all have instruments built in that prevent this. Pilots don't look at the instruments, altimeters, or any of the basic safety functions on their aircraft that exist since the beginning of flight because the bad guys are telling them fake info over the radio?
The movie is just super stupid, and it's not even basic shut off your brain action movie like stuff.
