The Dark Knight Trilogy: Best trilogy of all time?

After seeing The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX yesterday I decided in almost no time that this has to be the best trilogy of all time, in my opinion at least. In other words, better than Star Wars, better than Lord of the Rings, better than any other film trilogy in history, if you ask me.

Does anyone else agree?

Yes, more so for superhero trilogies.

indubitably, old chum

in terms of just superhero movies, yes.

but when you look at movies in general, both the dollars and evil dead trilogies beat it.

Yes, more so for superhero trilogies.

No. Every movie of the Dollars trilogy is better than the Batman trilogy. Same for Lord of the Rings. Bourne and Indiana Jones are also better on the whole. List goes on.

I'll take the Dollars, LOTR, Star Wars trilogies over it anyday. The Dark Knight trilogy really only had two quality films and one very poorly shot and choreographed one (Batman Begins). Obviously Nolan got a lot better at directing since the first, and in the latter two the action sequences were actually watchable, and there was a serious motive and villain.

Can't think of any good trilogies right nowthemajormayor

It's one of the better action movie trilogies.

It doesn't come close to the Dollars trilogy for meJML897

Seriously, you decided "in almost no time"? Stay away from wanting to become a film critic. Such a job requires a bit more thought than that if you want to have have any credibility as one.

I can't speak for the Dollars trilogy, but Lord of the Rings is still better, and the Bourne Trilogy is up there too.

This sets the bar for superhero films for sure. I hope that Zack Snyder channels enough Nolan to make Man of Steel worth it.

I can't think of many good trilogies.

they still call me crazy because i believe this but The Matrix triology is the best triology IMO.

I did very much enjoy all of them, but as a trilogy specifically? Eh, I'm not the biggest fan simply because I found that the series really doesn't feel like it was meant to be a trilogy in the first place even though the third film does do a good job in giving the allusion of otherwise.

No .

damn film snobs and your socialist leftist chinese art films

Dollars Trilogy (or Man With No Name Trilogy, if you're not into the whole brevity thing) is still tops.

I'd take Back to the Future over it despite the third being what it was. I also enjoyed Lord of the Rings more. It beats out Star Wars though.ujjval16

I personally don't consider it a real trilogy.

Since none of the story was developed before hand. Nolan didn't even want to do a 3rd until the studio convinced him and he simply mixed and matched peices of comic book stories to what fit in with the first one.

Besides, LoTR will forever hold that spot.

Maybe not the best (for most at least, all 3 movies are some of my favorites), but definitely one of the better trilogies next to LotR, Star Wars, and others.

best trilogy of all time. no.

best superhero trilogy of all time? so far, yes. I would argue it's the best superhero trilogy out right now.

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] Its a trilogy. SaintLeonidas

But I never said it wasn't. It definitely is a trilogy. No doubt about that.I thought my nicholoas cage, captain obvious meme made it clear that you stated the obvious. My question is, why are you stating the obvious? What does that have to do with my post.

Refreshing compared to the usual ponies. I couldn't find anything with his court scene that was worthy, sadly.

You don't think it is a trilogy, even though you do think it is a trilogy?

Lord of the Rings is the best.

Goodness no! I just thought Nolan's Batman films were decent enough, but nowhere the territory of films like the Colors, Apu or The Human Condition trilogy of films for it to mentally rank high in any kind of a top list of trilogies I might muse upon if I were so inclined.

Only LOTR and Indiana Jones stand by it to me.

Definitely one of the best and it will be remembered thats for sure. Too many people have different taste and opinions nothing is the absolute best. But the Dark Knight trilogy is remarkable at making a very dark and serious comic book superhero movies.
