Which Trilogy Was the Best?

Pirates of the caribbean...

"Bourne" but by just a nose over "Pirates." It's difficult to even compare them -- spy action thriller against outright fantasy. The third "Shrek" was very weak. "Spiderman" is also probably nose-to-nose with "Pirates." "Die Hard" died hard with the weak part two and three.

Back to the future was the best trilogy ever

Bourne shouldn't count, there's another 1 coming...

but definitely BOURNE...

Agreed, good clean all round family entertainment.

ALso like the
original Star wars trilogy.

The forum has had a thread on the best trilolgy and the best franchise. "The Lord of the Rings" won by several lengths on the trilogy and James Bond on the franchise. LOTR is logical just because of the enormous box office, the over 90% critical acclaim, three Oscar nominations and one win, and its standing on the IMDb user chart. Nothing else even comes close.

However, there was no LOTR movie this year -- also no "Back to the Future" or "Star Wars" which has unfortunately grown way past a trilogy when it would have probably been best to leave well enough alone. The third weakest of the first trilogy could be why if couldn't overtake LOTR. I often wonder why Lucas couldn't come up with something other than another Death Star for the Part VI episode -- that was one of several elements that pulled it out of an A list.

STAR WARS! seriously bourne movies were cool, but oddly boring, i saw the last one on bootleg thoguh so i dont wnt to comment officially.

pirates was AWESOME! i forget the main dudes name but he is a great actor.

Actually, the original poster, and welcome to A2K incidentally, has asked about trilogies which had a movie released in 2007.

I saw The Bourne Ultimatum last night and wasn't impressed. The first one still remains the best of the bunch. This last one seemed to be a half dozen frenetic vignettes separated by mere seconds of substance.

So no Lord of the Rings fans here? That is a pretty good trilogy! If you like that kind of thing!

The Godfather- Two out of the three were fabulous, while the third was very good.

Re: Which Trilogy Was the Best?

You have your quoting skill down to a science, Lightwizard.

Well, I thought we were to choose from the list... not vote for best trilogies of all time.

However, nobody mentioned the matrix trilogy. It's not great but still pretty ok.

Did you have a point?

Okay, you guys, are you posting without reading the discussion?

You are right- I jumped in in the middle of the thread, without looking at the beginning. Actually, I have only seen one third of the listed triologies, the second Bourne. I was not impressed!

Embarrassingly enough - I did not read it well. Please forgive me. I like Pirates of the Carribean best out of all the releases this summer. Good detailed explanation pointing out my stupidity though. You feel better?

I'm sorry for being so hard on LightWizard. Like Phoenix, I, too, am guilty of skipping over material.

I feel so ashamed. And cheap.
