Sorry, but you can NOT watch these movies as stated above. You HAVE to watch them in the order of their release date…the reason for this is very simple, at the end of each movie is a glimpse of the next movie. Don’t know why someone would ever have posted this blog, but they seriously screwed up.
To each their own. This is just one perspective. Watching them in order of release is another good option though!
I didn’t notice anything that threw the next movie off and I watched them in order so far. Just finishing up the last few. If you’re talking about waiting till the end of the credits, I never do that anyway.
