None of them had the same actor playing the lead role despite them all being the same character. Each one was basically the same story over and over with a few different things sandwiched inside.
The first was the icon. 2 was serviceable. If you were the right age for it, likely a classic just for nostalgia alone. That and the tragic story why the lead actor couldn't have returned for 3 regardless. The most noteworthy feature of 3 was that Jack Black was in it. For maybe 10 minutes as a bully? One of "the nasties".
Oh I know why 3 sucks. I only ever found out it existed as an adult, and, yes: Jack Black was the highlight despite being in it for like 5 minutes and he plays a douche. Lol
I guess I was just the right age for having fond memories of 1 and 2, and still enjoy them now. I actually was surprised that there was a 3rd one because I was so into the first two, I find it crazy I never heard there was a 3rd as a kid.
It's like fighting out about home alone 3. And all the movies after that.
