The meme is funny, I'm going to acknowledge that first.

But what are these rankings? Indiana Jones 3 is ranked the same quality as 2. Spider-Man 1 is ranked demonstrably worse than 2. Jurassic Park 3 is ranked work than Jurassic Park 2????

I know it comes down to a matter of opinion but I also have to wonder if the person who originally created this meme watched the movies, because those are some spicy takes.

Most people think Spider-Man 2 is the high point of that series, and sometimes superhero movies as a genre. I think they got that one right.

I'm one of them, I'm just saying it's a closer call between Spider-Man 1 & 2 than this chart denotes.

(And Spider-Man 3 is not that bad.)

The Road Warrior was also way better than Beyond Thunderdome.

Edit: oops, I meant the first movie, Mad Max was better than BT. I should have looked up the title. 2 was obviously the best of the original trilogy.

Strong disagree on Back to the Future. The last one's probably the best one

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

You are insane. The first two are good, the third one is pretty bad and better replaced by the telltale game story.

Last Crusade is better than Raiders. Fight me.

What about side by side with a friend?

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Two towers is the weak link

[–] essell@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Well, after those Orcs flew those two Fell Beasts into them...

How dare you

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Bizarre take it's def better than the third movie and I prefer it to the first

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 59 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Indiana Jones 3 is as good, if not better, than any other movie in the series.

[–] ElmarsonTheThird@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Way better than Temple of Doom for sure!

Back to the Future 3 is nowhere near on par with 2.

This is some ragebait right here

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Agreed, the third movie is kinda meh but have you played the telltale game? That for me is now the third movie

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Wtf do you mean, part 3 is awesome and has some of the best humor in the series. Sure it's a bit derivative, but that doesn't stop it from being a better 3rd in a trilogy than most others. It's also got a lot of quotable moments, I quote this for just about anything that's hot

Well, I suppose if you had a straight stretch of track with a level grade, and you weren't haulin' no cars behind you, and if you can get the fire hot enough, and I'm talkin' about hotter than the blazes of hell and damnation itself... then yes

I disagree with the Indiana Jones ratings. The third movie was better than the second, and possibly better than the first too.

Awman, I didn't think matrix 2 and 3 where that bad.
I remember enjoying them.

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

I think Matrix Reloaded would be improved greatly by leaving out the Rave Zion Dance Party.

Low point.

I don't agree with most of those.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 22 points 1 week ago

The bars for the LOTR trilogy are only that scale because of how long the movies are.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

In what world is die hard 3 worse than die hard 2. It’s arguably tied with die hard 1 as the best one.
