I dont get it?...nothing to explain or support the graph. what do the graphs represent? a survey of popularity? a graph of ticket sales in theatres?

BurntToast 04-22-2009 02:00 PM

I think it's supposed to represent how good the movies were. If so I think it's somewhat accurate.

Plan9 04-22-2009 02:06 PM

And somehow I agree with all of them.

Ugh, fuck Jurassic Park II & III. Nightmares of shit.

I disagree with Mad Max and Terminator (first were best) and Lord of the Rings (none were really that good)

Cynosure 04-22-2009 02:54 PM

Superman II was better than the first one, i.e. Superman - The Movie? :orly: I thought the consensus was, the first was far better than the 2nd.

Hmm. Would that be the version of Superman II released in theaters, back in the early '80s, or would that be the (reportedly far superior) "Richard Donner Cut", released on DVD in the mid 2000s?

Glory's Sun 04-22-2009 02:57 PM

pretty accurate but I would rate star wars 1-3 at a 0. LOTR 1-3 at a 0 and any Star Trek at a -100.

Reese 04-22-2009 03:57 PM

Seems pretty accurate to me. Remember the graph is relative as proven by Godfather 3 being significantly lower than the other GF movies even though it still wasn't a bad movie. So, even if you didn't like any of the Star Wars or LOTR movies the relative quality is still accurate :)

I'd disagree with Jaws though. There's no way Jaws 3 was better than the 2nd.

Superman 1 & 2 are tough calls. I recently watched Superman 1 and 2(Donner cut) on Bluray and they were both really good.

Charlatan 04-22-2009 04:53 PM

Is that Rambo 1 (ie First Blood 2) or is that First Blood. If it's First Blood, then First Blood 2: Rambo should be higher. Otherwise, I agree with the rating.

I would lower the ratings on the Back to the Future sequels. Not nearly as good as the first one.

The Terminator was a better film that this gives it credit for...

Also... I really hope these levels are only used to compare against the other films in the Trilogy and are not giving some sort of cross comparison. If the latter is true then suggesting that The Godfather II is equal to Terminator II and only marginally better than Superman II is just insane.

FuglyStick 04-22-2009 05:09 PM

"Mad Max" was better than "Thunderdome"

Deltona Couple 04-23-2009 07:22 AM

What I disagree with is that this graph can only be accurate if every person that ever watched the movies were surveyed. I could go to different places around the US and get different opinions on all these movies. So really the graph is only a representation of how popular or liked the movies were to the specifi group of people that were surveyed. This is emphasized by the responses of the TFP members here.

Doesn't matter which version. Superman II has Zod, one of the best comic movie villains ever. "Kneel before Zod." That said they are both awesome.

Lord of the Rings scored lower than Rambo?

Right.

Right.

That's what I am saying too... the graphs make sense if they are an internal comparison between the films in the trilogy only. As soon as you start looking at the ratings between sets of trilogies you end up with head slappers like the one you reference.

See, that's how I was looking at it. Pretty accurate that way, in my opinion, except I'd maybe put The Two Towers slightly below the other two.

Rambo: "Nothing is over!"

blahblah454 04-23-2009 07:56 PM

Seems accurate to me.

biznatch 04-24-2009 06:23 PM

Seems to me like you guys are thinking about this too hard. Agree with most of this.

This is the Internet. Thinking about it too hard is the definition of what we all do on here. :surprised:

Thinking too hard or hardly thinking? (rimshot)

Or, in my case, thinking with a hard-on?

Zeraph 04-25-2009 08:26 AM

Generally agree except I thought the 2nd and 3rd matrix did better than that (still not as good as the first, but no where near that low). And which Batman are they talking about? And where is star wars 4, 5, and 6?

Shaindra 04-25-2009 08:30 AM

Looks about right to me. And Godfather 3? Was I the only one who cheered when Sophia Coppola died?

ObieX 04-25-2009 08:44 AM

I didn't think the 3rd X-Men movie was THAT bad compared to the others.

I took the Star Wars graph as meaning the original trilogy.

Same, assuming 2 is Empire Strikes Back I definitely agree.

Who am I 04-26-2009 04:19 PM

Seems like most of them either go down or stay the same. It would be interesting to find one that actually increases throughout all three movies. I disagree on the last Spiderman one though, it was actually almost as good as the first or second.

Rambo: FOR YOU! For me civilian life is nothing! In the field we had a code of honor, you watch my back, I watch yours. Back here there's nothing!

Trautman: You're the last of an elite group, don't end it like this.

Rambo: Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job PARKING CARS!

Mmm, best movie on that list. Terminator 2 was a close second.

biznatch 04-26-2009 06:33 PM

I thought Spidey 3 was an absolute piece of trash. They tried to cram so much in one movie, and Topher Grace is Venom? WTF.
Also, X-Men 3 was terrible. Cyclops dies, Magneto loses his powers, but maybe not? Yeah, that's a "Let's cover our asses in case we need him back for X-men 4" thing.
They made the Juggernaut a little bitch, too. The guy's supposed to be much bigger, IMO.
