The Trilogy MeterPublished by Toronto Mike on February 18, 2009 @ 11:54 in Movies
I think it's spot-on, especially The Godfather one.
8 Responses to "The Trilogy Meter"Wayner I'll bet the box office takes, did not suffer with each sequel...producers know that they have a built-in audience and choose to pay for "stars" rather than worthy story-telling... The_Voice I don't want to be the one guy that says it, but a number of those aren't trilogies... although I understand the argument that most of them that aren't trilogies became non-trilogies many years after the original trilogy. But the last Indiana Jones is WAY better than Temple of Doom. Also, the true Star Trek trilogy is 2, 3, and 4, not 1, 2, and 3 (2, 3, and 4 have a consistent storyline leading from one to the next to the next). Ajax Mike I'd rank Indy 2 lower, Matrix 2 higher (just a little), Alien 3 higher, and Rocky 3 higher. I mean c'mon, that's where both 'I pity the fool' and Eye of the Tiger came from! :) cpierson Third Godfather worse than the third Superman? Not on your life. I'd say Temple of Doom a bit lower, Matrix 2 a chunk higher, Superman 3 all the way to the bottom, X-Men 3 slightly higher, all three LotR movies pretty much at the top, Die Hard 3 much lower, Godfather 1 at the top, Godfather 3 higher (but not very high), Terminator 3 a little higher, and Alien 3 a fair bit higher. But other than that, great. ;) Coach That is awesome!! Buffalo Boy Mike Yeah I would give full marks to the Indy Trilogy, I also thought that Terminator 3 was better than his ranking. Jaws 2 was miles better than 3, 3 was a joke and should be canned forever and forgotten about.

That is a surprising accurate list. I would only argue the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was better than The Temple of Doom. I agree with everything else. Nice find.
