Fishflesh Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 the list of perfect trilogy's (tell me when i forget 1) Back to the future Starwars trilogy (4,5,6) Indiana jones The Godfather Trilogy's that had fialed (or did alrady) Alien Matrix Terminator Starwars preqwels Austin powers the only one who is left trough becoming on the perfect list = Lord of the Rings
Young David Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 That list makes no sense at all. How dare you calling the SW prequel Trilogy and the Matrix trilogy calling bad!!!! And Austin Powers aint bad either ... he just has a different style Yeah baby, yeah I've only seen Alien (1) and the first 2 Terminators ... but they're okay with me. I think LotR is the better trilogy (the book is, the movies might become that ... we'll see in a few months). None in your list are bad trilogies ... from what I've seen (haven't seen any Godfather movie)
JediMasterEd Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 I agree with the Original Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Lord of the Ring. The Matrix Reloaded, I heard, plumeted faster than AotC did. But yeah, Reloaded was...boring. Austin Powers, I've only seen the last one because I kept on hearing is was good, so I wanted to prove them wrong and failed. It was a good movie .
Redwing Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 NL_Ackbar: Your list is kinda strange... Everyone I've talked to agrees that the third Godfather didn't come close to the first two (I have seen 1 and 2 but not 3). But Terminator, the SW prequels and the Matrix haven't really failed (fialed isn't a word ), just weren't 100% as good as the first. I wouldn't know about Alien, but you have an interesting idea of failure.

None in your list are bad trilogies ... from what I've seen (haven't seen any Godfather movie) i am taking story wise and you can't call the matrix perfect... and i am not saying that the trilogys that fialed are bad , there just not perfect. and you know its hard to make a perfect trilogy. you can make your own list if you want to its only my view on these trilogy's
Zygomaticus Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 You haven't even seen the 3rd matrix yet And I don't know how you judge "perfect." Something is either good or bad - not perfect or imperfect. No movie is really "perfect.":p
pbguy1211 Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 T3 was BORING.... Reloaded wasnt bad. Better than the past 2 SW's. And if Return of the King is anything near as good as the book... watch out! That's gonna be a good ass movie!!!
Zygomaticus Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 I'm not sure of the Godfather's Oscar History, but of all those, the LotR series is the only one with an Academy nomination (atleast) in Best Picture for all the movies (so far). If RotK gets nominated, that'll be something
Admiral Odin Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 IT is a shame that LOTR didn't actually recieve the award. I'm really looking forward to Rotk. Going on a perfect and imperfect scale then none of those trilogies would be on the perfect list. Each has it's faults, even LOTR would fail under that standard.
pbguy1211 Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 i dont think i'm going out on a limb in saying return of the king will be better than the two towers. more drama, more action... it's going to translate very well to the big screen.

None in your list are bad trilogies ... from what I've seen (haven't seen any Godfather movie) I totally agree with you YD, though the third Austin Powers was....bleh! I thought that the predator series was preety good along with the aliens series. I also do not agree with Ackbar.
Admiral Odin Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 The Alien series would have been great except for Alien 3. That one was bad compared to the others. Alien 4 (Ressurection?) was decent. Favorite has to be Aliens (2nd movie)though.
Compa_Mighty Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 I find the SW prequels quite good. I think Reloaded was BAD. I haven't seen T3, so I can't say anything about it yet.
Havoc Stryphe Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 First of all: Aliens is not a trilogy, it's a Quadology, wait... Quadology? And The Predator series, TieDefender75 mentioned them in passing, is only a Duology. Awesome Trilogies: Original Star Wars Trilogy Star Wars Prequels Indiana Jones (Soon to be no longer a trilogy, but another Quadology) Back To The Future Matrix (Well, it WILL be a trilogy in a few months) Lord of the Rings (See above) Evil Dead Series Terminator Series Die Hard Series (Soon to be a Quadology) Godfather Trilogy Only true failure of a Trilogy: Tremors but, really, when it comes down to it, if the movie(s) truly sucked or failed, the Movie Studios would have never okayed two more movies. They must have been good enough to make alot of money! (With the exception of the Evil Dead Trilogy, it was made on a budget consisting of Pesos and Peanuts ) As far as Austin Powers, I don't know where to put that. Probably in the same category as the American Pie trilogy (Stupid, but funny enough to make money enough to make more of them... ugh!)
another_trooper Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Originally posted by Havoc Stryphe Only true failure of a Trilogy: Tremors NOoooOoOOOoo!!! I saw all 3 and I have to say they were quite entertaining. . . Man, they were so hilarious ! I remember seeing ( a long time ago) the part in the first movie where the giant worm (or whatever is its exact name) jump the side of the cliff and then it exploded in a flurry of what makes these small instant pizzas ! :D Anyhow, yeah they did suck. They sucked so badly that it was funny watching them though. . .
pbguy1211 Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Originally posted by Havoc Stryphe Die Hard Series (Soon to be a Quadology) O...M...G... why??? And the SW prequels are bad... sorry. They are. The Indy series was really, REALLY good. As was the Back to the Future one.
Artoo Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 Originally posted by Havoc Stryphe Only true failure of a Trilogy: Tremors But... but... it had Burt... how could it be a failure if it had Burt... life's not fair!!!
Fishflesh Posted July 22, 2003 Author Posted July 22, 2003 Originally posted by Havoc Stryphe First of all: Aliens is not a trilogy, it's a Quadology, wait... Quadology? it was a trilogy thill part 4 came but i don't count that whit the trilogy there are more trilogys then you can think off trough. like jurrasic park From dusk thill dawn Robbocop
