The meme is funny, I'm going to acknowledge that first.
But what are these rankings? Indiana Jones 3 is ranked the same quality as 2. Spider-Man 1 is ranked demonstrably worse than 2. Jurassic Park 3 is ranked work than Jurassic Park 2????
I know it comes down to a matter of opinion but I also have to wonder if the person who originally created this meme watched the movies, because those are some spicy takes.
Most people think Spider-Man 2 is the high point of that series, and sometimes superhero movies as a genre. I think they got that one right.
I'm one of them, I'm just saying it's a closer call between Spider-Man 1 & 2 than this chart denotes.
(And Spider-Man 3 is not that bad.)
The Road Warrior was also way better than Beyond Thunderdome.
Edit: oops, I meant the first movie, Mad Max was better than BT. I should have looked up the title. 2 was obviously the best of the original trilogy.
Last Crusade is better than Raiders. Fight me.
What about side by side with a friend?
Indiana Jones 3 is as good, if not better, than any other movie in the series.
Back to the Future 3 is nowhere near on par with 2.
This is some ragebait right here
Agreed, the third movie is kinda meh but have you played the telltale game? That for me is now the third movie
Wtf do you mean, part 3 is awesome and has some of the best humor in the series. Sure it's a bit derivative, but that doesn't stop it from being a better 3rd in a trilogy than most others. It's also got a lot of quotable moments, I quote this for just about anything that's hot
Well, I suppose if you had a straight stretch of track with a level grade, and you weren't haulin' no cars behind you, and if you can get the fire hot enough, and I'm talkin' about hotter than the blazes of hell and damnation itself... then yes
I disagree with the Indiana Jones ratings. The third movie was better than the second, and possibly better than the first too.
Awman, I didn't think matrix 2 and 3 where that bad.
I remember enjoying them.
I think Matrix Reloaded would be improved greatly by leaving out the Rave Zion Dance Party.
Low point.
I don't agree with most of those.
The bars for the LOTR trilogy are only that scale because of how long the movies are.
In what world is die hard 3 worse than die hard 2. It’s arguably tied with die hard 1 as the best one.
LOTR is the same as star wars. First one is 95%, second is 100%, third is 80%. Way too much climbing and whining in the third one.
THANK YOU; everyone (that I've anecdotally seen) thinks the second LotR is the low point while so much irritates me about the third, in comparison to the first two.
Blade is definitely better than Blade 2 IMO.
I might pick Die Hard 3 over 2 as well, but it's been a bit since I saw 2.
I am fully aware I'm pretty much alone with my opinion, but I find Terminator 1 far superior to T2.
Even with the limited budget T1 manages to create a far more horrifying vision of an unstoppable killer coming after you. The lo-fi'ish synth soundtrack sets a perfect oppressive feeling. The casting is perfect, Michael Biehn' s scarred and wiry Reese with Hamilton's young and scared next door girl going against metal-Arnold in his prime is the epitome of underdog scenarios.
And the pacing is very good, the plot flows.
T2 is a good film, but like many sequels, it suffers from the "let's do the same thing from a different angle, but bigger and louder!" - syndrome. It doesn't really get to be it's own kind of beast. I was very surprised that Cameron fell for the trap, after he avoided that mistake with "Aliens". Switching genre from space horror to space action made that film stand firmly on it's own feet and the result was good.
Lastly, T2 has the young John Connor doing the "badass kid" - role, which so many seem to love. I just find the character annoying.
I agree with you!
The first one didn't age all that well. My teenagers can't finish it. T2 on the other hand..
Arnold is on his peak here though. He is very very scary. His expression(or better: lack of) , his body language..
And the police station scene is forever etched in my memory.
Back to the Future is, as a whole, the best trilogy on this list.
I'm a bttf super fan to a degree but even I acknowledge the third movie is very weak and better replaced by the telltale game
Strong disagree on Back to the Future. The last one's probably the best one
You are insane. The first two are good, the third one is pretty bad and better replaced by the telltale game story.
😬
