Best and Worst "Part 3"'s

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

The Bourne Ultimatum was a great 3rd movie.

And I know that most people will disagree with this but the third Matrix movie was better than the first 2.

The Bourne Ultimatum was a great 3rd movie.

And I know that most people will disagree with this but the third Matrix movie was better than the first 2.

Still need to see TBU but certainly liked number two more than the first one adding Greengrass as director made a big difference.

I think Matrix was only ever supposed to be a one part movie but then because of the unbelieveable success of the first film they were pressured into making more. Love number one, two had its moments but was a bit of a mess, still need to see part three.

I liked the first Bourne better than the last two. I saw Ultimatum first, and I was totally confused.

As for Matrix, I am the same as Keith. I have all the DVDs now, so hopefully I'll get to watch part 3. I remember Reloaded having about the same plot depth as your average porno movie, though.

Toy Story 3 would have to be the best Part 3. They found the perfect story and it was executed brilliantly. The managed to first set up a scenario that made sense after leaving such a big time period between the second and third film and they wrapped it all up beautifully. Bourne Ultimatum was another sold part three.

As for worst Rush Hour 3 was a massive let down. They left it too long between the second and third and resorted to too many cheap jokes. It wasn't as sharp as the first two. I didn't enjoy Rambo 3 at all, the story in Afghanistan was weak compared to the first two which I really like.

They are the ones that standout at the moment but if I think of more I will add them.

Worst:
1. Ju-On 3/The Grudge 3
2. Rings
3. Species 3
4. Return of the Jedi (Now, before I get hit in the head with anything, hear me out. Wasn't that last battle a little
anticlimactic? The entirety of the Empires forces being beaten by furries? Don't know what furries are?
Don't look it up. Even if a lone star fighter could bring down the Death Star, the Empire still has entire worlds
of foot soldiers, star ships and whatnots to fight back with. It was a cop out ending and that's all there is to
it.)
5. Ace Ventura Jr: Pet Detective

Best:
Red Dragon
Day of the Dead
Army of Darkness
Ginger Snaps Back
The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King (And, yes, even without the real ending from the novel. Eat it,
purists. It's still good! At least it followed the main storyline, unlike another director I know.)

It did not have the scouring of the Shire (admittedly a letdown), but it did end on the same quote by the same character in the same setting, which I thought was a nice gesture from Peter Jackson.
