Mad max is wrong. While sequels...they are not even in the same space. The first one is good for its simplicity.

Whoa whoa whoa mad max 1 is the best of the three. Sure, the sequels have crazier worldbuilding and fancier visuals but the first is tight, well shot, and tells a good story well.
Since no one here is talking about the Jurassic Park trilogy, I'll go ahead and say my hot take. JP3 is way better than 2. And obviously the originals are all miles ahead of the Jurassic Worlds.
I just watched the first one again and it's still a pretty good movie.
I totally forgot Blade is a trilogy
Blade 3 is... not good.
That's the one where Wesley Snipes was throwing a bit of a tantrum and refused to open his eyes for a scene, so they had to use CGI.

A lot of sequels aren't as good because the original director and writer (and maybe other staff) aren't involved. The original staff may have had a vision for the one movie, and when it's completed, they're not interested in making another one. So the studio that owns the copyright hands it to some newbies so they can get experience and do a low-budget cash-grab sequel.
Nice try... cant trick me into studying trilo-ology.
Matrix is great all the way through. The problem is that a lot of people didn't understand the story. There's a good explainer on YouTube by Looper.
Eh, the subtext in 2 and 3 is neat but the first movie is by far the best. It sets up a premise and concludes it beautifully and doesn't get too big for its britches. I still enjoy some of the over the top moments from 2 and 3 but there's definitely a leap and I'm not sure the pay off is as good as the first film.

Is this counting films in trilogies, or the trilogies themselves?
Interesting choice not to include the Hobbit movies! I'd probably go 1>2>3, but all those bars would be appropriately hobbit-sized (sans ent-draught).
Bro. Have you seen Fellowship of the Ring? It’s 3 hours of “Hey, could you schedule a meeting so we could nail down our deliverables and figure out a timeline?” And 30 minutes of “good meeting, everyone.”
I would rank them similar to matrix on chart. Liked the 3rd matrix more than "listed" though.
