That makes them suck so bad?
Now, I just watched Blade:Trinity last night, but don't worry. I'm fine. The shakes have passed. The overwhelming need to vomit is gone.
Don't get me wrong... the first Blade movie was good. The second was good. This one? Yick. It's like they took every possible bad idea for a vampire movie and put it in this one. Okay, not every possible bad idea... they saved some of that shit for the screen version of Queen of the Damned.
But let's look at some famous trilogies. The original Star Wars trilogy: Star Wars kicked ass. (the original version, not the remake of the remake of the remake of what Lucas really wanted to do). The Empire Strikes back was also good. Return of the Jedi? Okay, all I got to say here is one word: Ewoks. Again, overall, not a bad movie, but it just didn't have the punch of the first two.
Spider-Man trilogy - the first movie rocked. The second movie, was even better. (What can I say, I think the casting of Molina as Doc Ock was head and shoulders... and four metallic arms above Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin). The third movie? Well, I haven't seen it yet. But when you have to throw three villains at the hero... it's not a good sign. The problem is that there are only so many top tier Spider-Man villains, and they killed off two of them in the first two movies. Venom, by himself, would have been an awesome villain for the entire goddamned movie.
The X-Men movies? Well, I think we can lay the blame for #3 stinking on two big reasons. (1) Brett Ratner and (2) the production company being a bunch of big fucking babies and not wanting James Marsden to be in X-Men 3 and Superman Returns at the same time. Well, that, and they already had to be irked about Bryan Singer dropping out to direct Superman Returns.
The old(er) Batman movies? Yeah, not going to go there. The first one wasn't bad, but all the other stunk.
In fact, the only trilogy I can think of that actually stood up, movie for movie, was the Lord of the Rings series.
