Ranking Every Movie Trilogy I've Seen
Ranking trilogies of movies I've seen- best to worst. Will include first movie of each trilogy then elaborate further on ratings. Only includes proper trilogies- trilogies within a larger franchise can count, but only if the movies were designed as a trilogy. For example, the 9 main star wars films can be separated into 3 trilogies as they have distinct characters, stories and release dates even though they are all part of the same storyline. Franchises longer than 3 movies can also be included as a trilogy, as long as they were originally planned as a trilogy and more movies were added later (ex. Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean) and not movies that were planned as more than 3 or the 4th film came out very soon after the 3rd one (ex. Avengers, Fast and Furious).
