Consistancy...

As for austin powers, I liked all 3, but...I think the third one wore a tad thin.


Sam, admittedly, IJ2 is now my least favourite, but still enjoyed it - probably a little more as a child than now (actually, I think it was the first one I ever saw, and my "favourite" for a while), but all the same, the 3rd film bought it up to standard, and alltogether, it'd make for a cool box-set, I mean, as a trilogy, I'm down with it.

You know there's already a box set of it, right?

I figured there would be, but I've yet to see it...
Are they special editions...etc? Good features?

The movie discs themselves are barebones, but the bonus disc has some good stuff on it.

austin powers is the rare exception that actually progressively got better with each film ..

I always thought those movies relied too much on recycled jokes and cameos

I just feel like posting an actual thread about movies...hope to get a discussion goin' on.

BEFORE I do, I just wanna say that right now, I think this place is really cool...and I don't mean without certain posters, just without all the drama...I mean, I admit fault on my part in some recent events, and in turn wanna throw out a forum-wide apology.
Y'know what? It's really nice when there's no bullshit goin' on up in here. I hope it lasts...

OK, onto the thread topic:

Movie series with more than one installment.
Horror, comedy, action, whatever you like...
What series of movies have you guys seen that you have found the sequels to be of consistant quality.
eg: Which film series have you enjoyed, beginning to end, and why?

I have a few, but I will start off with:
X-men 1 & 2.
Despite the comic-geek issues with every comic based film in existence changing details/histories, I think that the x-men movies have thus far done a VERY good job.
The quality was still there during the second, the characters were done brilliantly IMO (well, especially wolverine and nightcrawler), the effects only got better, and the second one felt a LOT more like the comic...I am personally very much looking foward to the third film, and hope they don't fuck it up.

hm......The ORIGINAL Star Wars Trilogy the reason i like them was becuse of the story the charectars and the presantation its a classic trilgoy and hopefully ROTS will bring back the original trilogy's glory

I agree but I didn't like it at all. It lacked intensity, which is definitely not a feeling I had about the first two (particularly one, which remains one of the most intense movie experiences of my life).

Anyway, back to the topic, film series that I feel have been consistently good......the Evil Dead films, of course (who didn't know I would say that...lol). I thought they were all three great fun, and each have their own unique feel. I also agree with X-Men, Spiderman and Lord of the Rings.

those for sure..

i want to say the evil deads too because i liked all 3, but AOD really doesnt fit in with the 1st two.



and as far as star wars goes .. the 1st 2 were brilliant, but by the 3rd one Lucas realized that he could make more $$$ by making a big advertisement for toys. i didnt like it anywhere near as much..

fucking ewoks
