I put all 3 on the same level of Excellent for different reasons.

1 - Does a marvelous job of setting up the story and giving you all the elements you'll see in the others. It creates a world and gets the audience excited for what comes next. So much so that you'll see a midnight screening on a Wednesday, in December.

2 - Gets to the Fireworks Factory and advances the story, expanding on themes, adding characters and adding conflict.

3 - Continues with the Fireworks and gives an emotionally satisfying ending.

I can't choose my favorite.

        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
