oops. Well substitute this then:

epic trilogies

How many epic trilogies have we had lately, anyway?

Faust

lotr and back to the future are the only acceptable ones if I recall correctly.

Chairman Risus

Does the matrix and spiderman count?

Faust

matrix was terrible after the animatrix. spiderman was enjoyable all the way through, but none were well made films

Chairman Risus

But the criticsTM said I loved it and kept coming back for more!

:argh!:

Faust

and more, and more and more.

the matrix series is supposed to be starting production in the next three months

Cramulus

the spiderman movies don't count. It's not a trilogy if they're just gonna keep churning out more of those failballs.

SPIDERMAN 4: EVEN CRAPPIER THAN SPIDERMAN 3



More and more you see a movie and at the end, instead of closure, you get some crap STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT MOVIE IN TWO YEARS bullshit which won't deliver anyway.

Oh man, they're making this into a TRILOGY!

Back to the Future
Indiana Jones
Godfather
The Matrix
Terminator
Austin Powers
The Lord of the Rings
Pirates of the Caribbean
BOTH Star Wars Trilogies
Bourne Trilogy
Blade
Spider Man
Jurrasic Park
Shrek (?)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

some of those don't fail.
many more of them do.

Maybe if they started naming the next film, like in Bond movies?
