No Right Answer: Worst Third Movie of a Series Ever
- Thread starter Firefilm
- Start date
it may have 8 movies to it but we're just going on the worse 3rd movie of a series then I'd say the third Harry Potter movie. There was no shrunken heads in the book and anything electronic doesn't function in Hogwarts. Not to mention the fading to black transitions was over done.
When I click on the video I get an error:

That was good, but why don't you have a table? PAX lets you set up in the middle of a hall, but you can't use a lousy card table for 15 minutes?
Also, listing great actors in Pirates of the Carribean and not mentioning Geoffrey Rush?

Godfather Part III. Spidey 3 was bad. Star Wars prequels were bad. But it seems like Francis Ford Coppola showed how to screw up a perfectly movie with one simple choice. Sofia Coppola can't act. Every time she isn't on screen, the movie is good (sometimes great). Whenever she shows up, you can almost feel the movie's quality drop. Today, she's been replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whitely. At least she can direct.
Aye, there were a few liberties with the script and the direction wasn't great (Alfonso Cuarón hadn't read any of the books or seen the previous films previously, and he had to take it across the gap between 'reasonably lighthearted magical childhood romp' to 'hero's journey complete with soul-eating creatures'), but it wasn't BAD. It was not great, but it was still serviceable.portal_cat said:
Pirates of the Carribean III and Matrix III, on the other hand, were just bad. They had some decent moments, but they retconned so much, and the scripts were so poorly written, that they retroactively damaged their respective series.
The Matrix Revolution.
Really?
I mean, it did suffer from being the worst in the series, but there's no way in hell that it matches X-Men:The Last Stand's level of bad, or Spiderman 3's, well...Spiderman 3 syndrome.
I could just be overreacting, as I consider myself a fan of the setting/lore etc.

Do we get to consider Crow 3, or was Crow 2 the franchise-killer there?
Barring that and the good points made in the vid, I'll second the motion to include Spiderman 3 in this argument. It's a legitimate contender.

it's a ping error, refresh the page and try again till it works (can take up to 6 tries on some days)Scars Unseen said:
I am really surprised that Spiderman 3 wasn't mentioned, so many problems with few or no redeeming factors.
Maybe it's just me but I actually liked all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. It might be because I never thought of the movies as partly realistic, and I liked how the the 3rd movie was whimsical.
I thought both Pirates 2 and 3 had scenes that were just drug out too long for their own good.The7Sins said:
There were so many choices for this, I'm surprised that Pirates 3 was even taken, given so many options like Spider Man, X-Men, Terminator, and probably quite a few more.
Ah, X-Men: The Last Stand. I'd say it trumps both of those. Also, Batman Forever (although, I absolutely love Jim Carrey screaming, "YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!" at Tommy Lee Jones).
Also, Toy Story 4 won't be the fourth movie of a trilogy, since Toy Story was never a "trilogy" so much as they made a movie, then another, then another (I mean, Toy Story 2 was originally going to be direct to video, but then the original cast returned and the story was "too good" to be direct to video).
Also, while we seem to be focusing on bad geek third movies, there are certainly others to choose from: Jaws 3D, Saw 3, American Pie 3, Rush Hour 3, Godfather III, etc. etc. etc..

I think if we would have used a table, it would have had to be paid for. Kinda like no parking zones that you don't get a ticket for if your car is still running. The moment you turn your car off it becomes a "park" and you get a ticket. As long as we were standing, it wasn't a booth and we didn't have to pay.Thunderous Cacophony said:That was good, but why don't you have a table?

I don't know 4th movies can be ok. POC4 did what it set out to do. Make a movie that ends with more actors then it started with so that no matter who agreed to do a straight to TV video 5th one it would be cannon and they would have backstories out of the way.
