"Infernal Affairs 3" was gobsmacking.... Really complex, intelligent, and a totally satisfying conclusion to the story I felt.... I just loved the way the film came full circle and the end of the third film was actaully the beginning of the first film, fitting in nicely with the whole underlying "bhuddist" ideologies the Trilogy was putting across...

 

"Sympathy For Lady Vengeance" is another spectacular example of a 'third' film... Okay, Park Chan Wook isn't really telling a continuous story with his three film cycle, but the films all have themes in common, so I reckon you could look at "Sympathy For Mr Vengeance", "Oldboy" and "Lady Vengeance" as a very satisfying cinematic whole... The three films do work in their own right, but when you take them all together, then you see the bigger picture...

 

"Ringu 0 - Birthday" (a prequel to Ringu and Ringu 2), was also pretty interesting....

 

 

Is it better than the first one though? (I still haven't seen 3 yet)

I think it does. :P

I think it does. :P

 

Nah, there's too much over-reliance on gore and what I feel is unecessarily explicit violence in the third... The original had a damn good plot, and yes, while it had gory moments, it was more like "Se7en" inasmuch as a lot was left more to the imagination...

i thought "saw 3" was kinda boring. take away the blood and gore and what are you left with? at least there were some pretty good and interesting storylines in 1 and 2. they just went too OTT with "saw 3".
I didn't really like Saw 2 that much. I didn't think number 3 would beat the first one, that was just brilliant. I've heard 3 is very gory, and I don't mind a bit of gore but there has to be a good plot aswell.
Back to the future 3 was preaty good but wasnt as good as the first two movies. Also thought Die Hard 3 was MUCH better than Die Hard 2.

Does LOTR Return of the King count? :unsure:

 

Although that wasn't really a triology. That was just a verrrrrry long film split into 3 parts. :lol:

Saw 3!!

And well.. Jurassic Park 3 was good, but the first two were much better!

Not a trilogy though really, is it...? :lol:

oh well. just thought i would mention it :)

I thought Saw 2 was better than the first one, I can't stand the first..I have yet to see the third.

 

Second one is very good, but not as good as the first.. No way... Well, okay, the first does have that annoying bit of over-acting by the Doc... And Danny Glover's kinda seen better days, but apart from that, bloody great film...... The second has several characters who over-act as well, so one cancels out the other really....
