... retroactively changed their mind on the previous installments? For example, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2. I was also going to say THE RISE OF SKYWALKER, but that has more to do with "I can't enjoy the previous two now that I know where the story is headed," as opposed to judging quality in general.

Maybe Star Trek V in relation to the first one.

Crystal skull? I feel like people gave the last 2 Indiana Jones movies a bunch of shit, but then when Crystal Skull came out they said the last 2 sequels were a masterpiece.

I actually remember a lot of people at the time saying that that Crystal Skull was better than Temple of Doom, as ridiculous as that sounds.

The last three Terminator films had to make people less harsh towards T3: Rise of The Machines.

After seeing Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I felt bad for liking the first movie.
I think the first Matrix film also suffers when lumped in with the lame sequels.

If the previous film feels independent from the sequels and can be taken as a stand-alone film, then it doesn't suffer as much if at all.

I don't recall anyone disliking Tobey Maguire's Spiderman films in the first place.

I don't recall anyone disliking Tobey Maguire's Spiderman films in the first place. Actually, from when I was lurking the old IMDb forums back in 2009 (before the reboot was announced), I remember there having been a number of anti-Raimi threads and posts there. There were a number of people who complained about how Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man didn’t quip enough, how Kirsten Dunst’s Mary Jane wasn’t hot enough, how Peter cried too much, and how Topher Grace was a complete miscast. After the Andrew Garfield movies though, it seemed like the hate bandwagon on the Raimi films had mostly died out.

"This Police Academy sequel sucks but the original is good."
Truth be told, the original isn't very good either.

Highlander: The Source
Suddenly the much hated Highlander II: The Quickening, looks like Back to the Future compared to this piece of shit.

Ghostbusters 2.
This is where Ghostbusters (2016) made the sequel looked forgivable and underrated for a lot of fans.

I know some Star Wars fans would like to suggest the entire PT compared to the ST. (I'm not one of those fans and I still find 2/3 of the PT terrible.). Even long before that, ROTJ used to be in this position compared to the PT.

Shrek was seemingly on top of the world until the third movie. Then it became cool to hate on, and now the franchise has become a full-on meme.

Home Alone 2, 3, 4?
I do feel like Home Alone went from children's zaniness on steroids box office machine to quaint modern Christmas classic after the sequels were so noisy & dumb.

Batman and Robin (1997) destroyed the reputation of Batman Forever (1995). Until 1997, the earlier movie was actually reasonably well-liked. After it, people came to see it as the first nail in the coffin of the Batman movie series as it then stood.
