Cool movie triology meter

1. It's just not worth making the third movie...

interesting visual

2. There were a surprising number of franchises that jumped the shark with the

third attempt. Still there seems to be an equal number where the quality held strong on the third attempt, such as Star Wars, LTR and Indiana Jones.

3. Of course, most of these are not true trilogies anymore.

Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Matrix, Back to the Future, and a couple of others count as trilogies with an actual beginning and an end. Star Trek, Rocky, Alien, Rambo and those who extend beyond three films do not. And Star Wars is iffy. It's a true trilogy if you count the three original films and the story ark, but then you have to figure in the three crappy prequels.

And how are we judging Batman? By the films of the 90s? 00s? Were there Batman movies made in the 60s, or was it just the TV show?

4. There was one Batman movie made in the 60s

Although there may have been even older serial movies, I am not sure. The one in the 60s was with the same cast and was along the same lines as the hilarious TV show.

5. Good point. A "trilogy" isn't just three random movies with the same cast.

6. The second Indiana Jones was way worse than the third

And in the fourth, the filmmakers raped Indiana Jones.

7. for the most part, i'd have to agree with the graph

i wonder what a 'police academy' one would look like?

8. They're all good except for the Die Hard one...

I'm sorry, Die Hard 2 was a classic example of a shitty 80s sequel that was only made because the original made money. However, since it was still entertaining despite that, so I'd put it down somewhere around the halfway mark.

9. I agree, I thought that was the one that I didn't agree with either

DH 2 was nothing but a pale copy of the origninal. The series didn't pick itself up again, until the 3rd one (with the 4th one being pretty good as well, even if the premise was far fetched).

10. I'm going to disagree with the Jurassic Park assessment

I think the third movie was actually the best.

11. Only a couple of these that I completely agree with.

Movie's are such a personal experience that everyone is going to have a different opinion.

12. Die Hard 2 & 3 rate that high? Really?

Has anyone seen these films lately?
