I'm noticing a weird pattern with trilogies...

I dunno if its just me, but usually the first is okay and interesting, the second is kick @ss, and the third is just... meh.

Anyone else feel this way about most trilogies?

I think that’s about right.

Only exceptions I can think of are Lord of the Rings (last movie won 11 Oscars!!), and Toy Story - until they decided to make a 4th film which was great too. Ennio Morricone’s spaghetti western trilogy ended on the best movie too, arguably (Good, Bad and Ugly).

Godfather is the perfect example of a dud third instalment. As a stand-alone movie it would’ve been alright, but compared to parts I and II, it’s just bad.
