Correct answer. They diminish in quality, but none of them stink.
Film Greatest trilogy ever?
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
Absofcukinglutely
The Purge?
Vengeance Trilogy?
Rises is the best batman installment. Come at me bro
Inspired by this thread I’ve started watching Batman Begins.
Had seemingly forgotten how awesome this movie is! All the attention naturally shifted to The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises - understandably so given the scale of those films - but Begins is brilliant in its own right.

BB is a fine film. It takes the character/s and source material as seriously enough without going too tonally dry and pretentious.
Sure there's a few elements that are goofy because, hey, it's a guy wearing a fancy dress outfit punching baddies, but Nolan keeps it all together with ease even with its imperfections.
Wally's cinematography is a highlight too.

This is why we need Martin Scorsese posting here. When talking greatest films ever we don't need comic books . They belong in the wrestling thread with their steroid induced actors
Gotham looks grimier as well, rather than just Chicago.
Yep. I prefer it over TDK. The world building gives off more character.
There's a slither of Burton aesthetic running within the films overal design.
Back to the Future. I think the 3rd one is vastly underrated.
Yeah but this discussion isn’t about greatest films ever; it’s about greatest trilogies. Outside of the Godfather (and the third instalment was shite), I can’t think of too many classic movies that were part of a trilogy.
Yeah but the second one sucked.
Rises looks meh on the first watch, but I found it a much better viewing on the second watch. The opening scene was absolutely fantastic
Yeah it's sometimes kinda forgotten cos of TDK but it's excellent.
I thought Rises was brilliant ar first, and then it has gone down in my estimation simce then. Still good, mind, but the weakest of the trilogy and at least a few notches below The Dark Knight which is a legit masterpiece.
Empire is the best indeed, but Return of the Jedi is the second for me. A New Hope is one of the most overrated movies of all time IMO.
WHAT !!! Empire strikes Back is the perfect film. ROTJ was good but not perfect.I actually had a convo about this with some buddies of mine not too long ago. We went so far as to make excel spreadsheets and assigning scores
(Godfather trilogy scored 245… 100/100/45)
Temple of Doom is a fair score.
The Ocean films, first 2, yeah I would agree, but the 3rd was average at best.
Rewatched Knight recently it's really good but it depends heavily on Ledger's performance.
I cant agree with that, its not perfect granted, but far from overrated.
It does, but I don't really see that as a negative thing. It's obe of the all time great performances as far as I am concerned.
It's the best one of the three in my opinion
This is right up there with rating Oceans 12 as the best of that trilogy.
Agreed, although TDK is still great it’s a bit too long. For one thing they could have cut the whole scene with the two boats.
Rises was such a disappointment.
There are some wild takes in this thread, and even as someone who thinks that Rises gets too much hate and is an ok 3rd installment (but below the first 2), that's pretty crazy.
I agree about Empire, but I got outvoted when we were scoring it.
12 is better than 13!
LOTR, every movie is fantastic. The Godfather 1 and 2 is amazing, 3rd movie is poor though in comparison.
Did the Die Hard trilogy get a mention? Always enjoy the first three.
Yes yes you have terrible taste in film, you've made that clear, no need to hammer the point!
Star Wars originals
I have exemplary tast in film. Like tremendous.Yes yes you have terrible taste in film, you've made that clear, no need to hammer the point!
Don't know how people can view ROTJ as the second best SW film, unless they like Han Solo stood by a door for 45 minutes.
No wonder Ford wanted Solo killed off in Empire.
