Are there any trilogies where this DOESN'T happen?
>>70240824
Dollars Trilogy
Jason Bourne trilogy
>>70240824
The Human Condition
The Colour Trilogy
Lord of The Rings
The Apartment Trilogy
The Star Wars Prequels, as pathetic of an achievement that may be
>>70240987
All three are amazing, but it still follows the trilogy rule.
hellboy, hypothetically
>>70241141
The third Hellboy wouldn't even be a Hellboy movie
You're right, the story in our heads is better than what would get made
Also this meme is shit
Once Upon a Time trilogy
The Lord of The Rings

What is it even supposed to mean?

Raiders of the Lost Ark > Last Crusade > Temple of Doomand they never made another one after that

I respectfully disagree with you :)

Nope. They are all subpar

this guy gets it. ROTK is a boring cgi snooze fest.
>>70241924
>Temple of Doom is better than Last Crusade
The Godfather has 1 and 2 reversedinb4 memers telling me 3 was pure Pakino
you mean where the third movie is the best? i'd say evil dead trilogy and the dollars trilogy. personally i think last crusade is the best of the 3 indiana jones movies too, though i appreciate people who think raiders is probably the better movie. toy story 3 is my favourite too i guess.
>>70241946
1 is overrated babbys first time travel flick. I don't evem really like 2 more than 1 but it was more entertaining
>>70241977
Good call. Dark Knight and Winter Soldier are the best from those two.
I'd say Terminator 1 and 2 are on equal grounds as well. First one has the best story and the most amazing apocalypse war scenes, the second one has far better stunts and action.
>>70240890
This is extra true about the dollars trilogy
>>70242045
THTBTU is the worst of the dollars trilogy by a wide margin
Captain America
>>70240824
captain america?
First one was okay
Second one was good
third one was average
Godfather part 2>
>>70242188

Seriously you're a fucking pleb if you think winter soldier is a good film

You're entire post is an embarassment even moreso than nolan is as a director
>>70242096
Terminator isn't a trilogy.
>>70243054
Terminator 3 technically exists.
>>70242555
Said the retarded neckbeard while contributing nothing to the medium of film.
>>70243198
So do 4 and 5 technically.

That story was overblown. Sure, the artist completely ruined the original, but it wasn't the fucking Mona Lisa or something. It was some shitty painting of Jesus done in the early 1900s.

That wasn't me anon. I'm anon. That's right motherfucker your in trouble now

This meme is false the second installment in nearly all trilogies is the best.

Beat me to it.

It stays at a constant level of sucking, so it does not satisfy the OP's question.
>>70240824
>>70240987
LotR follows this rule.
3 is still great but all those big battles (especially Pelennor Fields) let the "real" Peter Jackson shine through.

Thanks for biting for me. I was barely resisting. It's was such an delicious one.

The LotR Triloogy
>>70241698
1 is a great and beloved standalone film
2 has still some good parts, but it's objectively inferior to the original movie. fanboys will defend it
3 is a fucking travesty hated by critics and fans alike that never should've been made
The Cap trilogy gets progressively cooler/funner but The Winter Soldier is a better film than Civil War

The death of the western came with a bang. The gunshot fired by Italian hack Sergio Leone. One shot wasn't enough for Leone though, he emptied five shots into the body of the once great genre, and of those shots, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was the most fatal.
Whereas revisionist westerns around this time were brave, bold, and fresh coming from true auteurs like Sam Peckinpah and Alejandro Jodorowsky, Leone was stuck in the past, and a past he frankly couldn't understand. To him, Westerns were not about a new frontier. They were not about heroes looking for a fresh start, succeeding or failing for various reasons. They even lack the ability to subtly subvert roles and archetypes like John Ford would, and fail to even satisfy basic genre requirements of proper thrills and entertainment like a Howard Hawks film would.
Instead, what films like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly represent is the value, or lack thereof, of cheap genre filmmaking. Leone's westerns lack a world view. The stories are merely means to the end set pieces. Watch in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as Leone incorporates the American Civil War merely as an excuse to have a set piece in which they blow up a bridge. Why? Because David Lean did it, and the cheapness of Italian cinema at the time was dedicated to making copycat of everything popular cinema at the time.
Leone's trilogy is called "Dollars" trilogy, and in doing so he reveals his motivations as a businessman, not an artist. Corners are cut where they have to spend more than they want. The only reason this film has scope comes through Leone's use of Techniscope, and yet anyone bothering to pay attention notices how Leone betrays the composition of his own set up by cutting into close ups, simply because he's such an unimaginative hack. One can't completely blame him though, the Italian countryside is as empty as the souls of its filmmakers.

When will this stupid meme die? RotK is fucking brilliant and epic on every level. Literally 2 epic movies going on at the same time. And I use "epic" in the actual sense, not like a 15 yr old saying everything is epic. Fuck you contrarian faggots. All of your friends loved it and you just wanted to be different
Truly robbing the film of any scope it seeks to admit is a tired story about a chase for gold. Whereas people like Huston showed caution at romanticizing the adventure for gold, Leone revels in it, because it's all his cheap Italian bag of tricks has. The adventure itself isn't particularly adventurous anyways. This is a three hour film that spends most of its time lobbying around in rooms as characters try con the audience out of a desire for any actual forward momentum. Whenever this doesn't work, Leone throws in Ennio Morricone's nauseating score.
What was once a beautiful genre that turned out some of the best and most influential films cinema has to offer, Leone kills it and puts it back to the artistic value of a penny dreadful. His only reason for success comes at the opportunity of his film coinciding with the death of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Had the New Hollywood era arrived sooner, Leone would have been properly rejected for his cheap hack filmmaking methods. Instead he is improperly regarded as a hero of cinema, when he is nothing more than a hack. Yet the biggest offense is that his films are so boring in spite of their indulgence to cheapness. At least Spaghetti Western filmmakers like Carbucci made their trash fun.

Not a trilogy.

1 is only preferred because of people trying to be contrarian and pretending there's a ''film noir'' feel to a movie that's just a novelty slasher flick with jumpscares and immersion-ruining sfx.
>>70248430
2 is far and away the best one

>>70241698
Isn't the pattern,
1. Original work
2. Inferior extension of the original work
3. Inferior remake of the original work
e.g.
1. Alien - Great original work
2. Aliens - Natural extension, but doesn't quite live up to the first.
3. Alien^3 - Inferior remake of Alien
>>70248430
But ... but I prefer the original.Felt like anything could happen.By T2 you just knew you had a franchise on your hands and the good guys would prevail.
