1>2>3 - Alien.

1>3>2 - Star Wars prequels (though there is a huge gap between 1 and 3). Pirates of the Caribbean and Back to the Future (with the same qualification as the SWPT) qualify too.

2>1>3 - Terminator

2>3>1 - Lord of the Rings. Incidentally, The Hobbit fits here too.

3>1>2 - Indiana Jones

3>2>1 - The Matrix (fight me)
---

1>2>3 - Karate Kid
1>3>2 - Back to the future
2>1>3 - Terminator

First lotr is sooooo boring

1>2>3 The Matrix

1>3>2 Die Hard

2>1>3 Cornetto trilogy

Naw... best book and movie of the 3. But I prefer story over boring battle scenes

I did movies and games and ignored the specific trilogy rules somewhat because I'm classless and do what I want in threads where following the rules is kind of important.

1>2>3 Shrek (first three movies), PS2 GTAs (for thier time at least, not a huge discernible difference though), Donkey Kong Country...many other things go here by nature

1>3>2 Iron Man Trilogy, Cars, Halo? (Cant remember well but seem to remember liking first and third)

2>1>3 Star Wars Original Trilogy, I also think Toy story belong here, First Three Smash Brothers

2>3>1 Nolans Batman trilogy

3>1>2 Thor Movies, NES Mario's

3>2>1 The Witcher Series, Lord of The Rings, The Sims
---

tired of people overrating toy story 3. glad to see the first on top

interesting idea. hmmm...

1>2>3 The Dark Knight trilogy, Raimi Spider-man, New X-Men
1>3>2 Back to the Future
2>1>3 Captain America?, Edgar Wright Trilogy*, Original X-Men, Star Wars Prequels
2>3>1 Original Star Wars
3>1>2 Indiana Jones
3>2>1 I can't find an example of a set of three consecutive movies that each increased in quality (bunch of things that I haven't seen all three of though)

* Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End

well I put it as 2>3>1. Empire Strikes Back is awesome, Return of the Jedi is great but not perfect, and the first one is boring.

For me it's 1 > 2 > 3 but I'd accept Twins opinion. Jedi is crap, Empire is great but flawed and messy. SW is a classic

SW is a classic

it gets points for inventing the concept and everything, and it has memorable lines and stuff, but do you really enjoy watching it more than the other two? there are scenes in Ep 5 and 6 that I can't watch too many times, they're so good.

3>2>1 - The Matrix (fight me)

But there was no 3rd Matrix movie...?

See thAts how I feel about episode 5. Other than the amazing Hoth battle opening, the rest of the movie is boring as fuck, save for a couple mins at the end

A lot of differing opinions on the Toy Story movies. V interesting

1>3>2 - Jurassic Park (excluding the Jurassic World movies)
2>1>3 - The Karate Kid

1>3>2 - Pirates of the Caribbean (excluding Parts 4 and 5)

There was a 3rd Matrix movie. It was called The Matrix Revolutions, but it wasn't well-received.

That one is tough for me, because each one is nearly perfect. It's more of a matter of personal emotional attachment.

The first one was huge for me as a child. But even with putting that aside, it's classic and original in every single scene. The second movie was shockingly dark and twisted yet heartfelt and refreshing. And fucking hilarious. Those two definetly meant more to me than the third. But I still love the third
