Here is something put together by blogger Dan Meth over at his website that visualizes his enjoyment of each film in their respective trilogies in the form of bar graphs.
Dan comments on the inevitable disagreements and preemptively responds to any backlash by saying, "I know other movie geeks are going to have disagreements and that’s fine. And yes, I know some of these movies went more than 3 sequels, but none were ever meant to. These are rated purely on my enjoyment level on each film and nothing else. Frankly I’m surprised by how many sequels were better than the original. And I’m not surprised that the 3rd movie is never the best."
And so, here are my discrepancies with the chart stated in a declarative manner but not meant to be written as facts (but they probably are *wink*):
- Temple of Doom is definitely not better than Last Crusade
- The Matrix: Reloaded is not THAT bad of film at all. Reloaded and Revolutions get lumped together in poor quality, but Reloaded set up for an awesome conclusion and Revolutions ruined it all.
- Why is Jurassic Park so low? That film has most certainly held up over the past 16 years, especially in the visual effects department
- Die Hard with a Vengeance is much more fun and feels more like part of a trilogy than Die Hard 2 does.
- Rambo: First Blood is overrated and not even on the same playing field as the equally leveled Star Wars
- The Godfather Part III is bad but not worse than Spider-Man 3 in any capacity whatsoever.

The Godfather Part III is really the worst movie out of all 63 movies listed? That is all.
Alien is not better than any Star Wars but it is awesome
The first Matrix was not THAT good but definitely much better than Reloaded and Revolutions
Jurassic Park was better than that but 3 was the worst
Two Towers was a bit better than Fellowship and Return of the King which were equal
Jaws was not that good and Back to the Future 2 and 3 were better but still not equal to 1
I disagree with Godfather and Back To The Future. Godfather I is really the best, the second is dumbed down. Albeit a good film, it's not as rich as the first one.
The BTTF rating is dumb too. That almost 25% drop from 1 to 2 makes me doubt Dan Meth's intelligence. The first two are so interwoven, they're basically the same movie. They aren't different enough to deserve a quarter drop in rating. FU Dan. We need to brawl about that.
I like Back to the Future 2 and 3 way more than the first.
Die Hard 3 is my favorite and the trilogy. Sam Jackson? Gold.
