Two more completely pointless threads today and you have a trilogy right here on FOFC. I will be watching for that.

Won't the LotR trilogy take part of tomorrow, too?

No Matrix since the last two basically sucked. Or to steal Molson's thunder, watch the Matrix trilogy, but instead of parts 2 & 3 watch Part 1 three times.

And are we talking the ORIGINAL original Star Wars trilogy, or the remake where Greedo shoots first? That makes all the difference in the world.

Did Reloaded have the whole orgy / primitive dance scene? That whole bit just turned me. I think the first part of the second one was pretty good (and maybe if I'm honest the first part of the third one was reasonable), but the end of the second and third both just left me disappointed.

I loved the action scenes, it was when they stopped to tell a story that they did a much worse job than they did with #1.

Primitive dance scene was awful for sure and Zion was pretty disappointing on the whole.

I don't even associate that part with the movie b/c I usually get up and doing something during that part (or fast forward if I have it DVRed.)

Instead of a trilogy just go with the late 70's TV miniseries version of Shogun. It's doable in one sitting if you're really dedicated

No one's mentioned Terminator? I even think the third one is alright, but #2 is just aces and #1 is still solid.

Either Lathum is about to finish up the first Matrix, or he's passed out from stroking through Debbie Does Dallas I-III.

It was a bad movie. The dance/orgy scene was bad, but other than the highway scene, the action scenes were also quite dull.

The Neo vs. 1,000 Mr. Smiths was like watching a video game. None of the fights had any texture or granularity to them. It was just boring. Neo, the invisible guy, versus a bunch of people. None of the punches or kicks or blows seemed to have any impact to them and there was never any real sense of danger or peril. It was just a bunch of effects and people going through the motions.

It was the complete opposite in the first movie. People bled, there was always a sense of danger with the various agents around, and even with all of the cool effects the fights felt sort of real and not just video-gamey.

Reloaded also ended with that scene with that old dude in the white room. That was just a bunch of insufferable pretentious babbling non-sense.

All this being said, it was much better than Revolutions or whatever the third movie was called.

Both sequels to the Matrix are so bad (3rd is worse than the 2nd though, but both are a MASSIVE step down) they actually diminish the quality of the 1st.

Try the Vengeance Trilogy from Park Chan-wook:

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
Oldboy
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance

On second thought, don't. Watching all three of those in a row would probably just make me whimper and go to bed.

I really liked a Danish crime trilogy called Pusher (1,2 & 3), but it's really slow and low-budget.
