Hmm

Won't count the Turtle trilogy because only two of them were any good.

1. Star Wars (original Trilogy): top of anyone's list really, it worked on every level.

2. The Matrix: First film, pure classic, second film...Architect scene will forever be parodied...third film owns "Return of the King"

3. Lord of the Rings: Great beggining, battle-ridden second film, tear-jerking yet slightly overated third film

TMNT :D

Aside from that, there isn't anther movie trilogy where I've seen and liked all three movies. I'd say Tremors, but they have four movies now, and so, are no longer a Trilogy. :D

Yeah, same with the Alien series. Well, it's a quadrilogy anyway. But I think Terminator is a pretty good trilogy. First movie was amazing, very original story and good acting. Second was all about the action with no acting, and third one was a mix of both, but Arnold is getting too old and they put too much fake emotion into it.

Old Star Wars Trilogy for me...considering how rocky this new trilogy is going I doubt it will top the old ones.

Back to the Future by far is the best trilogy they've ever done! The continuity with different realities is by far the most perfect with very little plotholes (except for some obvious time travel glitches and alternate realities)!

I swear my dad resembles Doc! :P

LOL, that's kinda funny cause I always thought I looked alittle like Marty!

Denial is a sad thing. but it's true, "ROK" is great, I am not disputing that, but as a Toilken fan, the ending sickened me.

"Matrix Revolutions" ruled

1) TMNT

2) Lord of the Rings

3) Star Wars (old and new if they ever get #3 done.)

4) Jurrasic Park (The first two were great, but the third was ok.)

No, they have a completly different fate for Sauroman in Return of the King for the DVD

I thought ROTK was the best LOTR movie, and not overrated. I know movies don't follow the books they come from perfectly, but NO hollywood film ever follows the books perfectly. If they did, the movie would like 9 hrs long instead of 3 each. I am starting to read the books but have already been told by several who have read the books that they didn't like such-and-such parts in the movie cuz they were changed. I know a number of parts that were changed, and why some ppl would nitpick, and some may in turn may not like the movies. I'm already prepared. But even ahead of reading the books, I still know the movies were a very good attempt at bringing such a difficult series to film. Nuff said on that part, just my opinion tho.

My fav trilogies have changed. Originally I was comparing LOTR to Terminator and Star Wars, ranking it below them. Now after seeing how wonderful ROTK was, I ranked LOTR as number 1:

1) LOTR
2) Star Wars
3) Indiana Jones
4) BTTF
5) Terminator
6) Alien
7) TMNT

Yeah I know TMNT is last on my list (of all the trilogies that I can think of right now) but sorry, TMNT IMO doesn't beat the others. Esp. with TMNT 3.

Nope. They didn't even film it.

Lisardo
01-27-2004, 05:40 PM
They are supposted to add the whole Sauraman scene, plus others back into the film when the extended comes out. Can't wait. Cuz already I can tell a few of the cut scenes that were left out, from seeing them in the preview, but not in the movie.

You don't like Jennifer Parker? That's just crazy! I mean she was a key character for crying out loud! If anything they should've had her in more of the trilogy!

Savanti Romero
01-27-2004, 06:30 PM
I agree completely with Lisardo on the books to the film thing. I am also reading the books after the movies. I don't agree with Lisardo on the TMNT 3 not being good. I loved it!

But anyway, I think this topic could have used a poll.

Lisardo
01-27-2004, 11:06 PM
It's allllright, but it's not the best TMNT movie. I and a number of other ppl feel that way. Tho if you like it the best, that's cool.

The Stryker
01-28-2004, 02:20 AM
oh and one more addition o my list

the Batman trilogy (i don't qualify Batman And Robin to be a real movie)


Sure 3 wasn't the best but its a hell of a lot better then.......you know and i enjoyed the first three bats movies and count it as a trilogy

The Defibrillator
01-28-2004, 11:44 AM
I agree with Zarius about the Scouring of the Shire. That part was so cool. It's like the hobbits use everything they learned on their journey to help out their homeland! BUT the part wasn't necessary to the plot of the story, and therefore was cut......sadly.

1 - THE MAN WITH NO NAME
1 - THE LORD OF THE RINGS
3 - Indiana Jones
4 - Star Wars
5 - The Matrix

The Lord of the Rings is so awesome, emotional, overpowering, impressive, etc, however the films failed at following the books and added some very unnecessary BS while leaving out some very important and appealing scenes, such as the aforementioned scouring of the Shire.

Whereas The Man With No Name is not as technically impressive, it did not have to be. It's just plain badass!!!! Clint Eastwood owns Nicholas Cage, Vin Diesel, and most of those other craptacular "action stars" that people think are so great today.

Lisardo
01-29-2004, 01:45 PM
Oh yeah, forgot about the Batman series. Told ya i didn't think of all the trilogies I liked. With the LOTR movies tho, if you watch the dvds and esp. the extended verisions of the dvds (which has some deleted scenes put back into the movie), they have interviews with Peter Jackson and the other producers as to 'why' such changes were made. Kinda interesting I thought. Of course ppl's opinions are their own and that's fine. I was only saying that if anyone was curious as to why it didn't follow the books as much, or some scenes were changed/left out, they explain it pretty well on the dvd documentaries.
