I strongly disagree with Alien rating.
The 3rd was very good, I still can’t understand why people did not like it (besides “teh evil Fincher killed the girl and the marine in the opening credits”).

So basically it’s not a trilogy meter. Just a sequel meter.

@ 24601 whoa there, calm down. instead of just taking one quote from my post, look at the whole thing. i said “in my opinion.” not fact by any stretch of the imagination. based on my experience, a vast majority of the time, sequels are never nearly as good as the first part.

i really like “alien” and havent seen the other installments. i was only stating my doubt that “aliens” was better than the first.

Oops. I forgot one. Alien is a Quadrilogy. 4 movies.

“while i havent actually watched the alien sequels, the first was awesome and i doubt the sequels were anything but crap.”

There’s a convincing argument if I’ve ever seen one.

7 of those movies listed are not trilogies. planet of the apes is 5 movies, jaws is 4, star wars is 2 trilogies, Batman is 4, star trek is 10, Christopher Reeves’ Superman was 4, and die hard is 4. That doesn’t include Rambo, Rocky, Star Trek and Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

Am I the only one to notice Superman is not a trilogy (even if this is outdated by a couple of years)?

See! You fell right into Tiki’s trap or reigniting my… er… the original arguments!

A) The Empire Strikes back is the best. Bar none.

B) Godfather I & II are the #2 & 3 highest ranked movies on IMDB (and just as high on a billion other sites). Try to find Godfather III on any list.

C) Go see Aliens. Just do it. You owe this to yourself. It’s by mother-fucking James Cameron, and the guy knows action sequels. Just don’t watch any sequels after that.
