The first is an absolute masterpiece, & will always be my favorite horror movie of all time. I like all of the movies in this franchise, but some of them were really not that good.. But what has always bothered me about these films is the way they seem to keep changing up the story -it honestly gets a little confusing after a while. I watched them all in order once (with a few breaks here & there), and it was like they couldn't quite make up their mind what story they wanted to tell. But, because I love these films so much I let it go and moved on. The only thing that seemed to keep lingering in my head was the question of Leatherface's origin. Something obviously had to happen to make him turn out that way (other than having an insane hillbilly cannibal family)..
so even though the newest installment, Leatherface, is not my favorite out of all of the films, it finally answered my question, and helped to make Leatherface make sense!! This movie wan't "bad" at all, it had great acting, lots of action & tons of blood & gore...
