There aren't many things that movie fans enjoy more than a good, consistent trilogy. Ever since the infancy of cinema as an art form, it's been the perfect medium for these kinds of expansive stories so vast that they need to span several films — on many occasions, three being the magic number. There have been numerous outstanding movie trilogies throughout film history, and the 21st century has more than its fair share.
The early 2000s were the time when the superhero movie genre began to see the boom in popularity that today's audiences are abundantly familiar with, and this rise would have definitely not happened without Raimi's Spidey trilogy. As poorly received as Spider-Man 3 was, it's undeniable that the first two installments redefined the genre with their entertaining tone, awesome action scenes, and high-quality scripts.
8 The 'Millennium' Trilogy Best Installment: 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' The title is likelier to remind North American audiences of David Fincher's 2011 film of the same name, but Niels Arden Oplev's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was the first adaptation of Stieg Larsson's novel.
The fact that Gunn was able to craft such a consistently strong trilogy in a franchise characterized by inconsistent movie series is admirable, to say the least. All three installments are among the MCU's best movies, from the wonderful original to the arguably superior finale. The characters are endearing, the world-building is imaginative, the villains are cool, and the emotional heart at the core of the narrative is surprisingly effective and probably the main reason behind its success.
All Edgar Wright fans will have a different answer to the question of which installment is the best one — though The World's End's highly underrated style and sense of humor slightly give it the edge over its two predecessors. In any case, the Cornetto trilogy is one of the funniest and most original of the 21st century, bolstered by Wright's idiosyncratic, colorful, and endlessly vibrant style.
2 The 'Planet of the Apes' Reboot Trilogy Best Installment: 'War for the Planet of the Apes' Back in 1968, the original Planet of the Apes revolutionized cinematic sci-fi with its goofy yet fun B-movie story and iconic ending, but it was definitely a box office hit popular enough to birth a highly prolific franchise. That franchise lay stagnant for a long time until director Rupert Wyatt brought it back to life with the outstanding Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
