No Film has ever had Great three sequels in a row

[Kirk Langstrom]

Rocky 3 was a good film. 4 was a bit goofy but wasn't terrible.

But yeah, for the most part the thrid movie is where things go wrong. but only because the studios tend to think of things at that point as being a cash and carry affair.

Raimi still appears to care deeply about this franchise, and luckily, the studio is willing to give him what he needs. This as opposed to the FF films, which are made by a committee of morons.

Lol, so true.

Sad...but true.

Spiderman 2 was poor compared to the original. It's only fair to expect that the next one will not surpass that.

Your logic is ******ed.

 

[Eggyman]

I have a feeling that the Spidey trilogy will be similar to the star wars trilogy (original trilogy, that is). Return of the Jedi seems to be favoured more by the fans, where as The Empire Strikes Back is deemed the better movie by the general audience. Spidey 2 will probably be in the end classed as the better film, but number 3 has more in there to please the Spidey fanbase. Just a thought.

 

[Naite22]

Have you not seen Aliens 1,2 and 3?
Have you not seen the LOTR movies?
Have you seen Dr No, From Russia Wilth Love, GoldFinger, Hell even Thunderball?....That's 4 classic movies in a row



I hope so too but I'm not holding my breath, sm1 and 2 were mediocre at best imo and believe it or not sm3 has some good competition.

I'm not all that into the Bond flicks... Aliens (as in alien 2) By James Cameron was the only REAL badass alien flick, it's far better than any of the others! as for LOTR, I think FellowShip is the best!

I know there's a lot of movie's coming out this summer; Pirates3, Transformers, Harry Potter 5, Die Hard 4.0... I still believe that Pirates will come in on top at the box-office though... It's definitly competition, but as for the better movie, It looks like Spidey 3 should feel more threatened by Transformers, then Pirates3.

This thread is ******ed! Spiderman fans, or moreso the creator of this thread, are now so cocky to believe that not only Spiderman 3 will be a great film but they now think the same of Spiderman 4 - not knowing ANYTHING about it or if it will even happen??!!

Lmfao, return of the jedi is viewed as the first dissapointment star wars had to offer, every fan is different but the general consensus is 5 was the best star wars movie, i hardly ever talk to anyone who thinks otherwise, return of the jedi was the only oringinal trilogy entry that some people say is inferior to one of the prequals (episode 3). Usually the third movie of any major franchise is disliked, or dissapoints at least on some level.

Star Wars original trilogy (debatable)
x-men 3
alien 3
blade 3
batman forever
superman 3
matrix 3
tmnt 3
highlander 3 lol
army of darkness critically wasnt as good as 1 or 2, and i tend to agree that after 2 it dissapointed.
alien vs predator was kinda like an unofficial predator 3

Does this mean spider-man3 will suck? NO way, and i agree with your point that Raimi looks like hes handling it very well and hopefully it will break the curse.

 

[Spider-Bite]

Third one's usually where these trilogies start to lose steam, yes.

The difference here is that Spidey 1 is mediocre. Spidey 2 is better but still no masterpiece. So 3's not going to have a hard time topping them.

everybody liked spider-man 1. As far as movies go it was unique, fun, and depressing.

spider-man 2 blew people away i think.

I think the franchise will lose steam after this becuase of the villain choices they made for part 3. part 3 should have been the lizard, green goblin, and the return of dock ock.

don't forget Die Hard guys

We do know or believe where the story might ahead, since the comic books and the storylines are so strong. And don't put everyone in the same bag, dude.

D!

 

[gap5ewl]

i think it will be the greatest comic book trilogy so far. The 2 resons being the films have been consisitent as they go and havnt gotten too over the top or flashy. The other is X3 sucked bad. Be thankful Singer left X3 lol

 

[Spiderine]

Exactly what was the creator of this thread referring to in terms of a great trilogy? Are we just talking about just an opinion based on quality or the stories of these movies? Or are we talking about the actual success of these movies based on box office figures. What was the angle he is getting at?

 

[DonnyLebeau]

I think the original poster was trying to express that often times, creating a sequel to a trilogy has often ended in failure and it may be the same with Spiderman.

Not that a 4th movie would be a terrible idea, but they may end up losing the story trying to out due spidey 3 and we'll just get something like Carnage to appease the fan boys or Venom turning good to "add to the character."

Some comic movies with a part 4 nearly killed the franchise ie: Batman & Robin, Superman IV, & Alien Resurrection. Only to have them NEED to re-tell the story and remake the movies in the last 4 years ie. Batman Begins, superman Returns & Alien Vs Predator(bad movie, but decent attempt at an action flick)

Subsequently all three of these comic films did well in the box office and have sequels coming out in the next 2 years.

the difference between comic films and Harry Potter/LOTR is that they are a long series of NOVELS that were all received well and had people lining up at midnight to get a copy. The books were well done and translating it into an on screen epic is not as difficult as translating a comic into films.

Spiderman 1 & 2 are one of FEW comic films that have been successful in the last 7 years. Part 3 will no doubt be the big finale and for the sake of the franchise, it should probably end there. Granted, there are dozens of great villains and stories to adapt, but many of these actors don't want to spend the rest of their careers playing these characters and will want to move on. This trilogy should go out on a high note and we will all be pleased with the third film so much so that we can all die happy knowing it was the end of a great era.

I didn't mean to generalise, hence why I said "moreso the creator of this thread", but I do think it's VERY presumptious to already be thinking that Spiderman 4 will be a great movie and Spiderman will be the first franchise to have that happen.

I think they still have plenty of stories to tell, the introduction of Gwen Stacy was a good step, so you don't lose the continuity. We were already introduced to Connors in 1, showed him in 2, and now he has a main appearance in 3. I think is very likely that we'll see that arc in the 4th one.
Ok, the main story of revenge between Peter and Harry might be over, but there are stories to be told. Gwen, Connors, Jameson's son (Man-Wolf) and perhaps new introductions (Felicia Hardy?).

OK, fair enough. But is just an opinion, and this is why the topic was created for, to discuss if that's possible, keeping in mind if the same team of the trilogy is back, and what are they gonna do in it.

D!

Who the f*** are you to say that? Don't post in here ever again please...do us all a favor.

 

[>>>venom<<<]

another good comic book movie trilogy- blade

The first Blade was very good . . . the other two were meh IMO.

 

[chaseter]

On Butterbean's behalf and his pm threats...he/she did say that no movie franchise has had a good, quality, successful film after 3. He/she isn't talking about trilogies...he/she is talking after trilogies. I don't agree with him/her or what he/she said but to get this thread back on track that is what he/she means.

 

[Master Snake]

Just to get technical, LOTR is actually not a trilogy. It's one long story broken into 3 parts. That, and the fact that the movies were all shot at once, makes it a better and more cohesive movie franchise than others.

Well I found it bland, shallow, cheesy, and boring. Needed more wisecracks too.

Spider-man 2's most notable for Molina's performance and the action scenes. That's all I really remember about it. It's also a rather shallow and cheesy flick.

My point really is that the franchise never really had steam. It's not like the superman franchise which is currently struggling to get out from under Donner's film's shadow.

You call Spider-Man cheesy and you don't think most of the action in Reeve's Superman as well as the dialogue wasn't cheesy. I forget which movie it was but a man drives over a water hydrant and his car fills up nearly killing him. The dialogue in those are just atrocious. Those movies are for the most part cheesy. I do agree though that Spider-Man needed more quips when he was fighting. Other than that, I think 2 suprassed 1 and I believe 3 will surpass 2.

That's why they should have spinoffs for those characters. Tobey and Kirsten surely wouldn't want to do ANOTHER spider film if it is going to focus on minor characters. Dunst(dead or alive) will be gone after this one and Tobey will want to do other projects. So making it Spiderman 4 with a new Peter and MJ would water down what the original 3 films have accomplished.

How long do we have to see MJ and Peter say I love you and have cars thrown at them? It will get redundant and boring. A spinoff is the best outlet to tell the "other stories" but IMO this story should end here and not be dragged on or bring in MORE villains to outdue the previous film.
