Completely untrue.
Partially true.
Completely untrue.
There are plenty of great trilogies...
The Godfather
Toy Story
Star Wars Episodes 4-6
Back to the Future
The Bourne Trilogy
Lord of the Rings
I doubt we have anything to worry about. Seriously. Nolan is a talented filmmaker, the script is strong, and there's a great cast involved in the project. Besides, the approach that Nolan takes to the Batman films makes it less likely this film will fail.
If anything, we should worry about the 4th film... What director might destroy the franchise?
True, though the strange part is that more often is the third "not as good as the first two" than it is "not as good as the second, but better than the first". Why? I don't know.
Well when you look at the previous franchises that fell victim; we never saw it coming, at least not from the outset.
If the expectations are raised & the 3rd one falls short, fans will attack and condemn it relentlessly.

But Nolan's TDKR won't be going through the mistakes that other third films went through. That's almost a guarantee right there that Nolan's Batman trilogy will become the best CBM trilogy by having great 1st, 2nd and 3rd acts.
A big reason I'm not concerned about this film suffering from the 3rd movie curse is I feel Nolan has been improving steadily with each film. As in, regardless of which is your favorite, I think in each film he's made since Memento, there's at least one area that he expands on or shows a marked improvement in.
- The Dark Knight Rises will probably feel like an organic part of a whole, not just in that it brings the story full circle but simply in that it will most likely uphold the feel of the first two films.

For me, it's the main one.
It's all planned in 3 parts. That changes everything. Because for part three, most of stories claim for and ending or some kind of change.
You were talking about Spider-man 3. To me, Venom or not, the problem was that they had to do something more extreme but at the same time they had to be thinking in leaving stuff for the fourth movie. That's how there's a convulted Peter-Mary Jane arc there, but in the end they end up without much change.
