Dirty Harry fans - Can you tell me if any of the sequels are as good as Dirty Harry?

I would say Dirty Harry is the best, but the rest were all decent. The order you watch them really doesn't matter.

I haven't seen the sequels, but here's a logical standpoint:

As action movies progress in a series, they get more ridiculous, usually getting more awesome (Die Hard went from terrorists to riding a jet), and as movies progressed, music was added to action scenes. Also, Sudden Impact is just as famous as the first, so it's probably the best sequel.
