But yet the third one was good. Ya 90 % of the time that doesn.t happen.
The closest thing I can think of would be Iron Man. But even the first one was barely even counting as a good film. and the third one maybe less.

Since you brought up Iron Man, easy cut would be Thor.
There's also the SW prequels (you didn't say the first had to be good).
I'm in the minority, but Back To The Future.

Thor trilogy
Ocean's trilogy
Disney's Aladdin trilogy
Disney's Cinderella trilogy
I'm mixed on Attack of the Clones being deemed "bad". It's disappointing for sure, but at least, it's more mature than The Phantom Menace.

I am going to assume 'bad' means Thumbs Down and 'good' means Thumbs Up and we can list any 2nd movie vs 3rd movie of a trilogy or series. so with that said only one comes to mind when looking through my favorites... Mission Impossible II (2000) (5/10) vs Mission Impossible III (2006) (7.5-8/10) that's definitely the best example in my book of a 3rd movie topping a 2nd movie of a trilogy or series. p.s. for the record... I used to praise Mission Impossible II at one point in the past. but come to think of it... I may give Mission Impossible II another re-watch just to ensure my 5/10 stays as I rarely re-watch movies I score a 5/10 or lower but I figure this one might be worth re-watching given the rest of the movies in the series don't score below a 7/10 for me. I have not re-watched Mission Impossible II since April 14th 2012. but lets say I re-watch MI2 and my score shifts to a 6/10, I will no longer be able to list it in this topic. FridayOnElmStreet For me personally at this point in time... 1)Transporter 2 (2005) - 6/10 2)Transporter 3 (2008) 3)The Transporter (2002) - 4/10 (below average) At this point in time I only mildly like the 2nd/3rd movies(i.e. 6/10) as the first one is pretty dull(i.e. 4/10).
so going by what the OP said, I can't list it personally since I like both the 2nd and 3rd movies and not to mention I like the 2nd a little more than the 1st.

Scream trilogoy, if only because the Greek chorus and the rest of the stage play crap ruined 2, and Parker Posey made it so 3 just covered the spread (honourable mention to Liev Schreiber as Cotton Weary Version 3.1NewMoneyDouche in the opening).

They are entirely about Thor and take place on Asgard or are directly connected to Asgard and the mythology. Yes but they’re influenced by the other movies between them each time. The only possible exception would be Iron Man going into Iron Man 2. There’s not much between those two. |

The rest of the movies in the MCU aren't Thor movies. Captain America: Civil War is a bit different because it is very much about The Avengers and Iron Man almost equally as it is about Captain America, but the main story is about Captain America's relationship to Bucky Barnes and that is a plot point unique to the Captain America story.

Let me guess, you hate the MCU. Wrong. Just ventured a glance at the last page and a half of your posting history. Captain Marvel is the one movie in the world you refuse to watch, Aquaman is a "masterpiece" and far superior to Black Panther, and Avengers: Endgame is a 3/10. Basically, you wasted my time. Have a like. |

Have a like. Captain Marvel is one of 20+ movies in the franchise. The Aquaman post was tongue in cheek because the since-deleted weirdraptor and I were discussing the very subject earlier. Endgame is utter garbage. Of the MCU movies I’ve seen (all but Antman 2 and Captain Marvel), I have rated exactly five of the remaining 20 negatively (meaning less than a 5/10). Liking/loving 15/20 seems pretty good to me. So you are very wrong. And I wasted more of your time. Happy to help. |

I agree that they’re more or less linked thematically, but it seems to me that you can’t judge Civil War or Iron Man 3 or Thor: Ragnarok without looking at The Avengers or Age of Ultron beforehand. Then you’re not just judging a trilogy, you’re judging a smaller thread within a larger tapestry. They can’t exist without the other movies outside of their trilogy existing as well. |
