This is bait.

I can't wait for Dune 3. If Villeneuve sticks the landing his trilogy will become for Sci-fi what LotR is for fantasy.

Two towers is the weak link

...yeah, no...

Cruelly overlooked: getting Tremors 1, 2, 3 and Highlander 1, 2, 3 onto this chart.

Kinda telling how many of these are Spielberg, movie making beast

I know it doesn't fit the trilogy thing, but you left out the best Rocky movie: Rocky IV.

Personally I enjoyed matrix 3 more than 2.

The Star Wars one could also apply to the sequels, keep the proportion but maybe lower by half? Ep. 8 certainly was the least bad.

A lot of those crappy trilogies were not written all at once the way LOTR was. The more common case of writing follow-ups to cash in on the popularity of the original is a time-honoured way to make money while producing derivative garbage.

I feel like we need a different word to separate those “cash grab” trilogies from proper multi-part stories like LOTR.

I love all three Godfather movies.

The Godfather, The Godfather II Part 1, and The Godfather II Part 2

That other one doesn’t exist as far as I’m concerned.

Mad max is wrong. While sequels...they are not even in the same space. The first one is good for its simplicity.

Since no one here is talking about the Jurassic Park trilogy, I'll go ahead and say my hot take. JP3 is way better than 2. And obviously the originals are all miles ahead of the Jurassic Worlds.

Whoa whoa whoa mad max 1 is the best of the three. Sure, the sequels have crazier worldbuilding and fancier visuals but the first is tight, well shot, and tells a good story well.

I totally forgot Blade is a trilogy
