David's Backyard Adventures, depending on what you mean by "better." -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 15:05 2

  - You missed the point. 4 was set *in* a CGI studio. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 16:23
Nightmare on Elm St -- nm - budice Aug 22, 15:03
X-Men might be closest, if you find a way of ignoring 3. -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 15:03 6
- You could make a case for Bourne, right up until Bourne 4 -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 15:06

    - Alien. Terminator. nm - Dignan Aug 22, 15:37
  - I was thinking 2 was better then 1, and DoFP was (arguably) better than First Class, which was better than 3 -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 15:08 1
    - Ahh. Good point. - Dignan Aug 22, 15:11

    - It's hard to judge 1 versus the other three. - Dignan Aug 22, 15:22
  - 3 was such a surprise. Amazing action film. -- nm - MDH Aug 22, 15:06
Indiana Jones (1st 3) -- nm - budice Aug 22, 14:55 2

  - I put all 3 on the same level of Excellent for different reasons. - Mel Profit Aug 22, 14:54 11
    - It's really one big nine hour movie cut into three parts. nm - Dignan Aug 22, 14:55 10
      - agreed and done masterfully for the most part. - Mel Profit Aug 22, 15:02 9
        
        Jackson didn't even want to make (direct) The Hobbit, right? - Dignan Aug 22, 15:05 8
        
        I think that's what happened. - Mel Profit Aug 22, 15:18 6
        
        Your IM: Topher Grace is probably on it -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 15:26
        
        I like to be cynical about it, but I get it. - Dignan Aug 22, 15:25 4
        
        When did they decide on three movies? Before or after del Toro left? -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 15:28 3
        
        (Ah, it was announced a month after filming ended) -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 15:29 2
        
        It was always intended to be two parts. I didn't know that. - Dignan Aug 22, 15:36 1
        
        I thought the initial intent was just one but that it quickly turned into 2... - Mel Profit Aug 22, 15:51
        
        And it shows. So disappointing. -- nm - amoxy Aug 22, 15:16

  - I thought 5 was considered the worst? nm - Dignan Aug 22, 14:32 7
    - 2 is the worst movie then 1. They found their footing in 3. - David Aug 22, 14:41 1
      - 3 is brilliant. -- nm - MDH Aug 22, 14:52

    - 5 and t -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 22, 14:33 1
      - 5 and 7 pt 1 are both pretty weak. I don't like 4 until the graveyard scene. 3 was great. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 22, 14:34
