Good third movies, do any exist?

[Watchman]

The Third Man

 

[Octoberist]

I have friends who dislike spider-man 2, but love spider-man and spider-man 3, friends who find the nolan batfilms boring, but love the burton ones religiously (I like both series), think X2 sucks but love wolverine, and so on. There is not a bound to fail rule, there is a "well studios interfering are screwing over the movie" rule though.

Good God, you need new friends.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

lol, never said I agreed with them :P

[Doc Ock]

Return of the Jedi is definitely a good third movie IMO.

 

[CrypticOne]

what is it about the number THREE that turns good franchises to ****?

off the top of my head I can only think of a few good third movie

1. toy story 3
2. back to the future 3
3. return of the king (although I hated the multiple endings)
4. harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban

and then I'm struggling.

Toy Story 3. Return of the Jedi. Return of the King. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Some of the other part threes aren't as good as the second installments but are still enjoyable /

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Jurrasic Park III is a decent movie.

 

[Doc Ock]

Jurrasic Park III is a decent movie.

Definitely! Better than its second installment at least.

 

[Guhndoi]

Undisputed III: Redemption. Just as good as the previous.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Definitely! Better than its second installment at least.

[Sam Fisher]

The Return of the King
Return of the Jedi
Toy Story 3
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The Bourne Ultimatum
Back to the Future Part III
X-Men: The Last Stand
Mission: Impossible III
Spider-Man 3

 

[JAK®]

Back To The Future III was better than II.

Don't forget Goldfinger as well.

 

[The Englishman]

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

 

[Jick]

I think Tokyo Drift is my favorite FF so far.^^

No.

Yes

 

[JeetKuneDo]

The only other 3rd movie that I really like that hasn't been mentioned is ...

Christmas Vacation

Almost as good as the first, in my opinion.

Agreed.

I think everything else mentioned in this thread except Toy Story 3 didn't live up to previous installments. Some of the "part 3s" were an improvement on "part 2" but still couldn't touch "part 1". (i.e. Back to the Future 3) If The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is the third part of a story that counts too, but I wasn't aware of it being connected to any other movies.

Well the title is 'Good third movies'. The movie doesn't have to surpass the original, it just has to be good. I'd say that Back to the Future 3 is a decent sequel to the original.

 

[Drizzle]

I noticed that "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is absent from the thread. I wouldn't call it a bad movie, it could just use a lot of editing.

 

[DocHoliday]

I actually like "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" but mainly because Depp's character was a badass.

M:I3
Tokyo Drift
return of the Jedi
Return of the King
Ocean's 13
Bourne Ultimatum
Goldfinger
BTTF Part III (although I think it's the weakest)
Toy Story 3
The Last Crusade
Army of Darkness

Probably leaving some out.

 

[vanson]

Mission Impossible 3 was great imo

 

[Rowsdower!]

LOTR: Return of the King
Return of the Jedi (even though Ewoks suck, dude)
Die Hard: With a Vengeance
Mission Impossible 3
The Bourne Ultimatum
Back to the Future III
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Christmas Vacation
Toy Story 3
Army of Darkness
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Prizoner of Azkaban
Saw 3 (not great but it would have been a decent end to the series... unfortunately, they ran it into the ground after that)

 

[Ajendo]

As someone else said, Goldmember.

I said, Goldfinger not Goldmember.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

Back To The Future III was better than II.

I think I prefer II as it is more of a time travel movie like the first one, and it focuses on Biff, who is one of the funniest villans in cinema history, if not the.
III is very good, but it is basically just a comedy of manners, while trying to find a solution to their fuel problem. The love story is sweet, but hardly a great drama.
Anyway OBen-Wan, you are, em, obviously in the middle of flying over in your DeLorean to pick up your new wife to be, so you can get back to me on that one once you have exchanged all your pounds for dollars and settled in and all that.
