The following trilogies suck, and you're wrong if you state otherwise

[Dead Nigga Storage]

Star Wars - the only defense I ever hear for this is that it was either a) the first of its kind or b) 'it's star wars.' yeah, well, guess what...maybe star wars should have never become "but it's star wars" to begin with if people gave two shits about acting or writing abilities...cuz both completely destroy this fucking trilogy. and yes, i'm talking about the original trilogy.

The Matrix - i liked it better when it was called the bible, and didn't feature keanu reeves begging me to punch him in the face. so in-your-face-wannabe-cool, with a wholly unoriginal basic story frame, and special effects that got old after the first 5000 times they were used in the opening scene.

Lord of the Rings - if i want to see boring characters walking around getting lost or meeting misadventures for 10 straight hours, i'll watch the blair witch project 6 times in a row.


Fuck all 9 of these movies.

[Roarke]

star wars is a compact and fluid telling of a simple story, but somehow compacts an entire mythology within it.

to say the acting of the vader duo, harrison ford, carrie fisher is bad is silly. the rest get the job done.

so you're obviously very wrong there.

i always thought lord of the rings was a series people had a right to not enjoy--its long and much of it requires a love of long shots. i highly enjoyed it, but was sort of surprised it did as well as it did. geek chic.

matrix blowz.

[brancely]

someone has been watching a little too much clerks 2

[Dead Nigga Storage]

can't say i've seen clerks 2 all the way through, sorry. i should make another thread about how all kevin smith movies suck. that'd probably take a fucking book though.

i stand by all star wars comments.

[lolpenis_taco]

agree agree and agree

[kevin]

never watched any of the movies mentioned, never plan on doing so

[brancely]

i agree with the kevin smith bit. clerks 2 had a scene of the clerks making fun of lord of the rings and star wars for 20 minutes

[Roarke]

i mean, the star wars phenomenon is fueled by

a) it was, however illogical the argument is to support its defense of current standard of movie, ahead of its time in terms of production and appeal.
b) a general family friendly mix of humor, suspense and good-hearted story. (i still laugh out loud at most of harrison's lines)
C) like i said, the sort of engrossing mythological presence. it sparks the geek tendency of a lot of people like few ever have (general medieval mythology, harry potter, and a few others im likely forgetting are the only to match it). some people [myself included] are very naturally attracted to things that have this, especially at a young age, and it tends to stick there on out.

[caribou]

will we all at least settle on pirates of the caribbean

[bmac]

i don't mind the star wars trilogy that much but matrix trilogy is lame and i've never had any desire to see any of the lord of the rings

[Dead Nigga Storage]

will we all at least settle on pirates of the caribbeanno, but i will give you rush hour.

[caribou]

jesus was that thing a trilogy?

edit: yes. i don't even remember the third one coming out

[SilverEagle]

This could come in handy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_film_trilogies

It's difficult coming up with an entire trilogy that sucks. 2/3 are crap most of the time.

[Jamie]

good to know I'm not alone in my dislike for lotr

[kuumuus]

never watched any of the movies mentioned, never plan on doing so
first the wesley snipes thing, now this? fuckin a. you're on a slippery slope to becoming the next red right. please don't tell me your favorite trilogy is trois couleurs or apu.

[kevin]

probably the godfather.

i don't really give of a shit if you think i'm the next red right. i'm not going to watch movies i don't give a shit about

[Dead Nigga Storage]

i could have added the godfather to this thread, but it didn't suck...it was just boring for very long periods of time. i'd say between the three films, there were probably 3+ hours that could have been hacked out that bored me to shit. particularly every single thing that happened in italy in the first one. zzzzzzzzzcity.

[bmac]

i honestly commend kevin on never having seen a snipes movie. there are only a couple good ones.

and the first godfather is pretty much flawless

[kevin]

the first two are flawless to me and i like the third one quite a bit more than most people.

[jim]

The first two Godfather films do not need a single second cut from them. They are as close to flawless films as I have ever seen.
The third could have been trimmed down a bit, it got bogged down too much with all the Vatican Bank stuff. But the parts of the film that focus on the family are as good as the first two.

[billi vanilli]

first matrix impresses me to this day. the second and third are bastard children that i couldn't care less about.

lotr films are great movies but i'd never care to watch them again

[kuumuus]

lotr is the only perfect trilogy. i'll excuse the 8 or so endings in rotk given that it was wrapping up an 11 hour saga.

also, http://www.thebestmartialartsmovies.com/images/Wesley%20Trent%20Snipes.jpg rules

[brentholomew]

i used to love star wars as a kid, now not so much. prequels battered its reputation moreso. in complete agreement with the matrix but

lord of the rings rules.

[H Thompson]

lotr is the only perfect trilogy. i'll excuse the 8 or so endings in rotk given that it was wrapping up an 11 hour saga.


Well yeah but it would have been a 10 hour saga if it wasn't for the endings being so long.

[BeyondBeyond]

Star Wars - first two parts of the original trilogy are entertaining space
fairytales, the third is a badly executed parody.
This trilogy was made for kids and as such is a good one.

Matrix - first part was a very good pop sci-fi film on its own, two other parts
were rubbish, Matrix trilogy is redundandcy to the extreme, first one
was enough, however I still prefer Ghost In The Shell from which
Matrix stole a lot.

LOTR - it is a good trilogy, it retained books' atmosphere quite succesfully,
is visually carefully constructed and actors fit their roles well.
However, the original cinema versions have a lot of plot holes, some
characters are too shallow and those battles take too much of a
screentime. First part was the only one which I liked in cinema version.
On the other hand, extended editions have overall better
pacing, better crafted plot, more fleshed-out characters and
those overlong battle scenes are proportionally shorter because most of
the added material consisted of the dialogues.
LOTR in extended version is a great fantasy trilogy and easily the best of the three.

[box elder]

i have a soft spot for white men can't jump

[America: Fuck Yea!]

i agree with everything roarke said in this thread.

[nathaniel]

the worst thing about lord of the rings was the era of terrible cgi fantasy movies it helped usher in

[:bang:]

i agree with everything roarke said in this thread.
same

[You Bent My Wookiee]

You are right about the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies since they basically sucked a bit. And you are right about... I think thats about it. Rather than finding out the message of all three movies, you just whine about its special effects, acting, plot, etc. There is more to a movie than all that (it helps to have good acting, cgi, etc.) Why don't you go watch Transformers because that has good acting, cgi, characters, and a plot (why hear about the corruption of guys when you can watch a bunch of robots duking it out.)

[grübermeister]

LOTR- Overrated
Star Wars- Overrated
Matrix- Very Overrated.

The only trilogy where all three films are good are the Bourne films where each one is better than the last.

[You Bent My Wookiee]

Bourne films better than LOTR... Since when (I don't hate Bourne, I like that series, but there is no way its better than lotr imo)

[The mayor of Albuquerque]

I'm always happier when I have at least 2/3 disagreement with dns.

You really nailed the Matrix right there, buddy.

[grübermeister]

Bourne films better than LOTR... Since when (I don't hate Bourne, I like that series, but there is no way its better than lotr imo)

Yeah, i just prefer good films to films about goblins doing battle. And i have seen the lotr trilogy.

You really nailed the Matrix right there, buddy.

Damn straight!

[You Bent My Wookiee]

Yeah, i just prefer good films to films about goblins doing battle. And i have seen the lotr trilogy.
Its more than fighting goblins and anybody who has seen lotr should know that... 8-)

[grübermeister]

Yeah i guess, if by more you mean also fighting orcs and other creepy critters of the sort while trying to destroy a ring which makes Elijah Wood's eyes glaze over while little men who later appear in 24 and LOST bounce around jovially.

Actually maybe i aughtta watch it again cos that sounds MY KIND OF FILM! Y'know what I'm say'n?

[You Bent My Wookiee]

My kind of film is Billy Jack

[BeyondBeyond]

LOTR is a damn good film in its category. Especially for those who enjoy goblins doing battle.
It's a fairytale or heroic epos if you want, with strong visual accents and without the ambition to have any deeper philosophical extensions and as such should be evaluated :).
In its nature, LOTR is very similar to the original Star Wars trilogy.

For a deeper kind of fantasy(not only) I'd recommend Zelazny's Amber series, though it will probably never be cinematized.

[The Southern Zombie]

Billy Jack is so silly, it's like some weird hybrid of a Chuck Norris movie and a hippie movie. Yeah, most trilogies tend to run out of steam before the third installment (i.e. Spider-Man, X-Men), or don't have interesting enough characters or stories to justify a first sequel, but get two just because the first one made money (Matrix, Rush Hour). I've got nothing against the Star Wars trilogy, I just found them all very forgettable. I couldn't stand the first Lord of the Rings movie, so I haven't seen its sequels.

Both The Godfather and Terminator series didn't need a third movie. The first two Scream and Mad Max movies would've been better off without sequels too. I thought the second Indiana Jones was disappointing. I love Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, but while Army of Darkness does make me laugh, it's a bit too goofy and wacky to be considered as excellent as its predecessors. Maybe the only trilogy I liked from start to finish was the Back to the Future series. Even with its weird, dark middle chapter (kinda like Temple of Doom), I didn't mind any of its parts much.

[I-CloWn-I]

ehh i dnt really like any of the triliogies

[Chuckles Manson]

The only flawless Trilogy is the Evil Dead trilogy :bang:

The Star Wars "Prequels" are god-awful, beginning to end.

If one can consider Star Trek II-IV a "trilogy" (they are one continuous story), then only II mildly holds up.


"Godfather" fails in the third act. Actually, a lot of Trilogies fail in the third act:
Spiderman
X-men
Return of the Jedi has a lot of weak spots
Austin Powers
Mad Max
Re-Animator

Then there are trilogies that have a really weak second act, but then return with a good third act. I can't think of many. The Exorcist (one and three) and Cube (cube and cube zero) are the only ones that come to mind right now.

[You Bent My Wookiee]

Billy Jack is so silly, it's like some weird hybrid of a Chuck Norris movie and a hippie movie.

And it sucked as well. I was so close to watching Epic Movie during the part when we get to that screwed up school.

[aoife]

The Matrix - i liked it better when it was called the bible, and didn't feature keanu reeves begging me to punch him in the face. so in-your-face-wannabe-cool, with a wholly unoriginal basic story frame, and special effects that got old after the first 5000 times they were used in the opening scene.
Fuck all 9 3 of these movies.
This is correct. I can't stand any of the Matrix movies. My mom loves them all, I don't understand that.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

you just whine about its special effects, acting, plot, etc.yeah, boy...cuz hating a movie's plot, its acting, and its special effects (which i think i mentioned once)...totally illegitimate reasons to dislike a movie. totally.

retard.

[America: Fuck Yea!]

I can't figure out what exactly is left if you dislike the special effects, acting, and plot.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

i suppose i sorta liked laurence fishburne's trench coats.

movie redeemed.

[America: Fuck Yea!]

even though the acting, plot, and special effects were terrible, the sound editing was phenomenal.

[brancely]

[kimpanties]

HAHA. word.

[ARMslingerJoshua]

Why stop at trilogies? What about tetralogies?


Lethal Weapon? Alien? Die Hard? I just wiki'd and apparently there's an Austin Powers 4 in the works. wut? Indiana Jones? Rambo?

[Sniper Squirrel]

I'm pretty tired of defending the Star wars trilogy, so I'll just say I like them, but don't take any offense for those who do not

As for lotr, I think they're extremely well made movies, the ending's a bit too long, but oh well, that's about the only thing I can think about

Never been a fan of the matrix films, I would've liked the first one a little more if it was just thought of as more of a triditional hollywood blockbuster, but instead it lead to nerdy fags comparing it to religion or giving the "what is reality" rant they usually yammer on about, also the other 2 films in the trilogy are complete diarrhea

[Dead Nigga Storage]

someone needs to learn dns the difference between its and it's.yeah, i know the difference. the only time it ever seems to happen is on this damn message board when i'm typing as fast as possible to reply to something. i dunno why.

it's still better than the errors in writing throughout star wars.

[brancely]

yeah, i know the difference. the only time it ever seems to happen is on this damn message board when i'm typing as fast as possible to reply to something. i dunno why.

[Clark Westfall]

Star Wars is way overrated
The first Matrix was good, but the other two sucked major balls
Haven't seen LOTR and don't really have an interest too

I have yet to see a trilogy where all three films were good.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

indiana jones is a better trilogy than all three of the aforementioned trilogies in this thread.

by far.

[nathaniel]

soon to be a deeply flawed 4-agy

[Dead Nigga Storage]

[:bang:]

not too many people really liked matrix 2-3 right?

[SilverEagle]

As long as a film is down with the Sickness, who cares about such things?

[Dead Nigga Storage]

not too many people really liked matrix 2-3 right?i dunno. i know the first one is loved to death...and the second one has an above average score on IMDb and in most reviews. it's mainly the third one that people shit all over.

[nathaniel]

loved the first, but no desire to revisit it. never saw the 2nd or 3rd

most people i know are the same

[box elder]

i saw the second and it was incredibly boring and stupid. no desire to see the third. and i might watch the first again if it was on tbs or something, but i wouldn't seek it out

[kimpanties]

i slept through the second one in the theaters. i don't intend to re-watch it. ever.

[America: Fuck Yea!]

I walked out of the theater during the middle of the second one. never saw the third.

[thecapecoddah]

what I mostly remember about matrix revolutions was talking to my buddies about how awful it was on the ride home from the theater.

[mr. broom]

The ending of Lord of the Rings was going to have a lot of people bitching about it no matter what. It's what happens when you get millions of people invested in two years of waiting between the first and third chapters of an 11-hour-film. Had they gotten more abrupt on the ending, you'd have had tons of people saying that it didn't do the rest of the films justice because there needed to be more resolution (laying aside the fanboy outcries).

Bagging on the Matrix trilogy--let's not go out on a limb, now.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

clearly the only point of my posting was to go way out on a limb.

although i will say that the last time i said the matrix sucks on this board, i think the debate raged on for like three pages with a couple different people defending it to the death, so i had no idea it was so overwhelmingly disliked.

[You Bent My Wookiee]

As long as a film is down with the Sickness, who cares about such things?

Okay, the Disturbed stuff is getting old.

[Otis P Jivefunk]

Okay, the Disturbed stuff is getting old.

I'm getting sick of this...

Star Wars trilogy is not bad, Matrix trilogy starts good and gets worse. LOTR trilogy is technically good, but can get rather boring on the entertainment front...

Spiderman trilogy was good until the third one. Terminator trilogy again was good until the third one. Indiana Jones is all good, I don't care what you say. The new one could ruin it, but maybe not...

Maybe the Toy Story will be the first truly brilliant trilogy when the third one comes out in 2010...

[:bang:]

i loved the first but i remember the second pissing me off, and the third causing me to yell at the tv. my roommate at the time called me one night all drunk and left a 5 minute long message about how 'the matrix 3 totally makes sense'

he didnt remember how it made sense the next day

[Greased Scotsman]

Matrix trilogy - I saw Matrix 1 for the first time about 2 weeks before Reloaded came out, and it didn't impress me at all, primarily because I'd seen all the spoofs and parodies before I saw the actual film. I thought Reloaded was pretty good, dull in parts but I own the DVD purely for the freeway car chase. Revolutions sucked.

LOTR - Easily my favourite film trilogy. I agree with kuumuus.

Star Wars - I like all six films. Go ahead, shoot me. While I understand all the love that is poured over IV-VI, they're not "ZOMG BEST FILMS EVER" imo. Very very very good, but not the best ever.

Die Hard - Great trilogy. I don't acknowledge 4.0 on account of it being too far-fetched and generally shite. Pre-2007 this saga was near-perfect.

Rocky 1-3 - Brilliant trilogy. They should have gone straight from Rocky III to Rocky Balboa. That would have made this saga perfect. As it is IV and V were made and people don't rate it as highly.

Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End greatly let this trilogy down. COTBP and DMC were fantastic, but AWE was a pile of manure.

Austin Powers - I actually like the 3rd more than the 1st, believe it or not. Probably because I saw 2 before I saw 1, so I saw all of the recurring gags in reverse. Spy Who Shagged Me is one of my top comedy films.

Ocean's - I'm surprised no-one's mentioned this trilogy yet. Loved it. Eleven is one of my favourite films of all time. Thirteen is almost equally awesome, but Twelve was a bit of a letdown. Still good though.

X-Men - First two were great, but they tried to do way too much with the third. A good trilogy overall, but The Last Stand was the least good.

Fast and the Furious - Haven't seen the third, but I thought 2 was great and 1 was good. Hopefully 4 will be as good as the first two.

Toy Story - I'm dreading Toy Story 3, for the simple reason that I fear it's gonna be a massive letdown. The first two films were animated perfection, no question. And without the voice of Slinky Dog it just won't be the same.

Indiana Jones - Never seen it. I know. And I'm going to see 4 this month.

Godfather - Never seen it. Yes, I know.

Speaking of film trilogies where the third film is so crap it lets down the first two...Ace Ventura 3 is being made. Without Jim Carrey. :angry:

[nathaniel]

id like to hear more of your thoughts on fast and the furious: tokyo drift

[Greased Scotsman]

id like to hear more of your thoughts on fast and the furious: tokyo drift
I've never wanted to see it because I've been told it has no connection to the Brian O'Connor story from the first two. I don't like film series where the story isn't carried over between movies (excluding James Bond).

[box elder]

yeah, i'd expect more from the follow up to 2 fast 2 furious

Since the order in which you see films affects how you perceive them and your developing of terrible opinions, please do this board a favor and see the first three Indy films before the fourth one so this board isn't subjected to you gushing about how Indy 4 is the best of the saga.

Duely noted. The same thing happened to me with Rocky (I like III more than I) and Ocean's, although with Ocean's the gap in quality between 11 and 12 was too big for reverse order to corrupt my opinions.

[The mayor of Albuquerque]

Rocky I and II were "sports movies". Rocky III was a comedy. that's not how you make a trilogy (assuming they had stopped there).

[America: Fuck Yea!]

there are seven Rocky movies, right?

Rocky I-V, Million Dollar Baby, and Rocky Balboa?

[brody]

rush hour, fast and the furious, and austin powers might have three movies to their name (sure to be more), but nobody should consider them trilogies.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

unless you're trying to assign the word 'trilogy' some arbitrary, secondary meaning that would imply it has to be an epic of exceptional quality, then there's no reason rush hour wouldn't fit, but indiana jones would.

both follow a character (or two) and their, at best, loosely connected adventures across three films. all three films in both trilogies operate as standalone films where either of the other two have little to no bearing on the story arch of the one.

[America: Fuck Yea!]

if "The Man with No Name" is a trilogy, then Rush Hour and Austin Powers are trilogies.

[Greased Scotsman]

The films don't always have to work as standalones tho. Certainly LOTR makes hardly any sense unless you watch it in order.

[My Little Needle]

godfather is well made and all but it's still overrated as hell. don't get its massive appeal really

The films don't always have to work as standalones tho.which is why i didn't say they have to.

Snow Buddies
___________
Controversy
Disney imported 25-30 under-aged golden retriever puppies into Vancouver, Canada for the filming of the movie. Many of the puppies contracted the highly contagious parvovirus, against which puppies are usually vaccinated at 8 weeks of age. At least 15 puppies showed signs of the illness, including parasitic infections of giardia and coccidia, and all thirty were removed from the set. Three were euthanized. After the enforced removal of the first set of puppies, Disney hired 28 older puppies to continue filming. These puppies were also exposed to the virus, increasing the death toll. At least five puppies are reported to have died during the making of the movie.[2]

[ZQFMGB]

Geez... finding out some puppies died in order for 'Snow Buddies' to be made is quite literally one of the most depressing things i've ever heard.

[Magnum]

try for most obvious

[Sloppy Jimbo IV]

"no animals were harmed during the making of this film. they were actually euthanized, so technically they felt nothing"

[Eddie]

are there really that many air bud movies? jesus, kids are fucking stupid.

[America: Fuck Yea!]

who cares about those dogs dying? we got another air bud movie that propelled the overall arc of the story.

[Magnum]

I like that after exausting basketball, football, soccer and baseball, fucking volleyball was the next logical step.




Although she is not good at baseball by any means, Buddy is, for he has the uncanny ability to play baseball! However, trouble occurs right before the championship game when two scientists who live in a mobile home/laboratory kidnap Buddy with hopes of cloning animals who can play sports. It is then up to the Framm family, with the aid of a local anti-genetic research fundamentalist church, to track down the scientists and get their beloved companion back. However, unbeknownst to Andrea and company, the fundamentalists have an ulterior motive for finding Buddy...SO WHICH IS IT? RELIGION OR SCIENCE?!

[America: Fuck Yea!]

yeah, I know what a redneck is. What does that have to do with Air Bud and the 46 sequels? It could be discerned that the demographic is abundantly children.

[You Bent My Wookiee]

I was being a little bit sarcastic.

ok, i just thought of something i'd like to discuss. y'know what i hate the most about some trilogies? the way they title them! now, this is just the result of my own crazy, OCD-sick nerd mind, but i can't tell you how much i hate this:

x-men
x2: x-men united
x-men: the last stand
--
blade
blade II
blade: trinity
--
shrek
shrek 2
shrek the third
--
american pie
american pie 2
american wedding

this is fucking incorrect! it should be x3: the last stand, blade III, shrek 3, and american pie 3. consistency people! even if you hate star wars and lotr, you gotta give them credit for making sure the titles on their dvd spines all look nice and cohesive.

i could correct a million more of these, but those are the first that spring to mind. and don't even get me started on jaws, any horror movie franchise, etc. and even though rocky balboa was a better title, they still should have called it rocky VI dammit!

[Dead Nigga Storage]

even if you hate star wars and lotr, you gotta give them credit for making sure the titles on their dvd spines all look nice and cohesive.stop trying to make us reach this retarded compromises with you.

i don't have a problem with it, because in the case of at least a couple of them, i think the different style of naming was supposed to show a level of finality to the story arc in those films. i especially get that vibe from the x-men and blade titles.

[The mayor of Albuquerque]

even more so from American Wedding.

no more pie for that guy.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

he hasn't exactly ever been well known for being 'choosy' about his roles. he's been doing shitty movies since the 80s.

When will Air Bud finally come to a close?

[Clark Westfall]

easy paycheck and young attractive ladies

That's basically what it comes down to.

[Sniper Squirrel]

When will Air Bud finally come to a close?

NEVER!!!:deadhorse:

[Drew]

When will Air Bud finally come to a close?


When Air Bud finally comes to a character realization and confronts his inner demons.

Then, and only then will Air Bud be able to close that chapter of his life and end the video chronicles of his life.

Personally, I loved the original Star Wars trilogy. The only bad scenes were in The Empire Strikes Back, when Mark Hamill overacts screaming NOOOOOO!, and the empire practically gave up to the Ewoks on Endor in Return of the Jedi. The first two movies of the prequel were pretty bad, and Hayden Christiansen overacted the entire trilogy.

I watched the first Matrix and thought it was complete crap. I have no desire to see the rest of the trilogy.

I thought the entire trilogy of LOTR was pretty well done with some minor flaws. The ending made the Return of the king drag on, but it was in the book, so I can see why they included it. I'm curious to see how well The Hobbit turns out.

[StrideR]

i liked the matrix better when it was called the allegory of the cave.

seriously, all three of those movies are fucking terrible.

The Matrix, the first one, is a well put together film, from top to bottom. Citing it's unoriginal concept (how many thousands of years passed between "the cave" and The Matrix, by the way?) as a way to diminish its quality is disingenuous at best.

Other trilogies+ not mentioned:


The gods must be crazy
Crocodile Dundee

I'm afraid I have an unhealthy emotional attachment to Star Wars IV, V and VI. The others...eh, I could take em or leave em. I loved going to the movies and watching these films when I was a kid. They were nothing like I had ever seen before. And effects, the stop motion animation was superb. It began my lifelong apreciation for Sci-Fi and model-making...and film in general.

The Matrix...could never sit through more than just a few minutes of each...was just disinteresting to me.

LOTR - well...another unhealthy attachment. I loved the books. And was fascinated with the direction and interpretation given to them. The theatrical releases...were...well so-so. But the extended versions were truer to the book and I am a total nerd, so...of course I am a bit of a purist in some regards.

Indy Jones and Austin Powers are good ones too!

I don't know...but Rush Hour, Lethal Weapon, Charlies Angels (that was 3 right?) They seemed to be mediocre.

Still waiting for Blade Runner 2 and 3. So many unanswered questions.

[al_fresco]

Oh yes, and Air Bud is slated to film a prequel to round it all out

- "Origin of Air Bud - Dirty Dogs Done Dirt Cheap".
