I said the ideal gap was 2-3 years with a decrease in quality the further after that gap but maybe up to 5 years works.Also, I just checked, it was a 4 year gap between Back to the Future and the infinitely superior sequel, Back to the Future 2.
Oddly, I also think sequels/prequels out less than a year later (that aren’t part of a known series) tend to just be cheap money for Hollywood, not quality movies.
Probably another red flag is the number, like movie 2, ok.
Movie 3 successively worse,
movie 4, moving to hot garbage (rocky may be only exception)
movie 5, rarely reason to make it, certainly none to watch it.
Movie 6+ should be straight to video (streaming) that no one really knows it was ever made til accidentally coming across it.
