That's the best trilogy of all time

D'ya hear what I said, Tone? Heh heh

Actually Godfather 1, 2, 3 is in the running for best trilogy of all time because the first two were flawless and the third one is fine, but not sublime.

No love for Goncharov?

And casino?

To be fair even with Godfather 3 being a total turd it still averages to the best trilogy.

You know I was thinking the exact same thing with Alien and Aliens, they should make a 3rd!

Obligatory XKCD

Yeah, they did the big plot reveal in the original, so any sequels would just have been going through the motions and padding it out with special effects and fight scenes.

Yeah, I feel the same way about Terminator. I'm sure a third one of those would have been awesome, but the second one kinda said all that needed to be said.

It isn't a bad film. I am particularly not-generous when rating film, I think I would only give a 10/10 to two, ever. It's just that one of those two would be Godfather I (while giving Godfather II a 9/10). It suffers by comparison. If 5/10 is average, I'd say Godfather III is a 6/10. It's got some great cinematography, the acting is mostly good, the score is solid. If it wasn't a Godfather movie, people would remember it more fondly.

(If there's any curiosity at all, the other 10/10 in my book would be Animal House)

If you watched it simply as a standalone movie, completely divorced from the baggage of being a Godfather sequel, and you ignore some of the bad (Sofia Coppola) and bizarre (we get 90's Scent of a Woman Pacino rather than 70's complex and brooding Pacino) performances; then it's just a fairly meh mob movie. Better than some, worse than others. Just thoroughly mediocre.

But the fact that you have to consciously excuse all that before you can even begin to fairly judge it on its own terms means, in my opinion, that it is just a bad movie.

It just has impossible expectations to live up to

Old man peabody owned all this area and had the plan of breeding pine trees

Tracks?! Where we're going, we don't need tracks!

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.

I dramatically put on my sunglasses and just say "Roads." in reference to this, but no one ever gets it.

You're just not thinking fourth-dimensionally!

Wouldn't that be most trilogies too?

None of them are actually bad though it really avoids the trap of getting a completely shit third movie.

I don't know about favorite, but definitely better than the 2nd. But the 2nd is more culturally-relevant since futuristic is cooler than westerns, I guess.

Even the trees walked in those fuckin movies.

At the Evening with the Hobbits panel at Fan Expo Boston (which Kevin Smith and the Clerks cast were also at) the moderator asked if they wanted to fire shots back at Kevin Smith. I thought it was about to be hilariously awesome but they (Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd) all paused kinda said something to the effect of “no we’re good, everyone’s allowed an opinion,” and that seemed like an equally great reaction.

It should have ended on the one logical ending...

"3 Movies of people fucking walking."

Fuckin A

Danger Danger, my name is Anakin, shitty acting is ruining trilogy

look at you two whipping out your preciouses

"Dude is way off"

Literally vomited

Even the fuckin trees walked in those movies

Even Anne Frank can see that.

And Sam gives Frodo that really gaaaaaay fuckin look….

I loved them all individually, but as a series, we're missing a lot of important filler. LOTR is a straight forward and throughout adventure

I recently heard someone say that you can tell someone is a really big Star Wars fan by how much they hate Star Wars.

True. We have a couple masterpieces and a lot of straight trash (cough cough THE LAST JEDI cough cough THE RISE OF SKYWALKER cough cough).

You should watch Andor. Finale dropped today and imho its by far the best from the entire franchise

Original trilogy is classic and while I don't necessarily think they're perfect, they're great films. Hate ewoks though.

I can at least appreciate parts of Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones like the music, battles, characters like Obi-Wan ans Qui-Gon, elements of them. Revenge of the Sith is my second favourite Star Wars film and I'll fight anyone who disagrees with it being good.

The prequels are also good on paper, like the political intrigue and such is a great idea. The fall of the Jedi, literal revenge of the Sith etc. It just wasn't always well executed.

There was no trilogy after the prequels, so no further comments can be made.

ANDOR is amazing if you haven't seen it...It feels like the "real" star wars universe.

Yup. There's something so magical about the star wars mythos. I'm a fan for life but they make it tough. Atleast Andor is dope.

No time for love Dr. Jones

I hate fists.

You chose…wisely.

Juniah!?

Bold statement - Raiders of the Lost Ark is best in my opinion. Sean Connery is terrific in Last Crusade don’t get me wrong, but let’s not get it twisted.

Last Crusade is the best 80s film of all time.

I find it too heavy on the comedy, and Temple of Doom too dark. Raider's hits the sweet spot so well.

Junior! You call this archeology?

Yesss - LOTR in the fall, Harry Potter around Christmas, spring is a mix of everything, and summer is for Star Wars/Jaws.
