Movies that should STOP! at trilogies...or not?

[Sussudio]

Which movies, past present or future, do you think should(ve) stop(ped) when they reached a trilogy?

For example, would you like to see another Back to the Future (I wouldn't), Bourne movie, Spider-man, etc etc.? Are there any trilogies you want more of? Were you glad Die Hard continued on with a 4th movie? Indiana Jones? Happy the Star Wars prequels came out or would you rather Lucas just stuck to the original trilogy? Voice your thoughts below.

I want to see more Ocean's. I thought the Matrix should have just stay with the first movie. Bourne was good, just don't make no more...

Not everything needs to be a trilogy. Most of the time, one or two should be enough. For example, Underworld. Just about half of the first movie is more than I'd ever want to watch.

in complete agreement. i thought bourne 1-3 were fantastic and a great trilogy. even if they bring back damon and greengrass, a 4th bourne just makes it seem uneven. i dont want the bournes to turn into bonds even though they could essentially just put him on a different "mission" in each movie and have like 20 of them.

yep, a lot of movies i like just have 1 sequel and sometimes a trilogy is would be unnecessary. but this thread is supposed to specifically be for movies that have at least 2 sequels already, not movies that people think should be turned into trilogies. EDIT: i guess based on my posed question i don't actually clarify that. whatever, i don't care about specifics i'm just curious to hear people's opinions.

I kinda want another Transformers... Kinda, I love that movie. Maybe a Swordfish, but that may not be any good, the same for Transformers...

The recent "resurrections" of old trilogies went very well I think. Die Hard, Rambo, and Rocky were good new versions. I think the key to it was that they spent long enough between the originals and the new ones that people were hungry for it. Bourne ended on a very good note and tied everything off, I haven't read the new books, so not sure how well they continue the character or if it goes completely off base. If they don't follow the books and use completely different source material they could easily ruin it.

Other trilogies, Back to the Future, it was good they stopped when they did and didn't run the franchise into the ground. Look at Police Academy, the newer ones were just mockeries of the original few. Over saturation of a franchise makes people less likely to want to see the originals because they get a bad taste of how much the newer ones sucked. Robocop probably should have been a single movie that never got made into a trilogy. You can tell they were trying to ride the wave of the first one, and each one after that just got worse.

I would have liked Constantine being a trilogy. The alternate ending would have left it open for something epic!

Most of the time a trilogy should stay a trilogy if the story is closed (i.e. Matrix) but if it's something like Diehard or Blade, where they can just have another mission, than keep doing it.

I'm glad Stallone closed out Rocky the way he did. I think Rocky, Rocky 2, and Rocky Balboa make a pretty good trilogy on their own. I wish Indy 4 was better . . . I'm warming up to it, but when I first saw it I kind of wished they would have left it alone. Definitely glad for Rambo and Die Hard 4's.

not a trilogy per se but I think Nolan should stop with The Dark Knight. I don't see how they could make a better Batman movie.

Since when is the goal to make a better movie each time?

I'd settle for an as good as 1 & 2.

If anyone could do it, then it would be Nolan. But, it's really up to WB. Not, Nolan.

Scary Movie, the secound one was the funniest imho.

[Blu Titan]

The Mummy should have stopped after The Mummy Returns...

[Bluzilla]

Aliens . Parts 1-3 were creepy, but #4 is just too silly.

Exactly, unfortunately, with or without Chris Nolan, there will be another Batman movie. We just need to pray that Nolan is the one who does it.

I don't think Back to the Future should have made the trilogies should have stopped at two. Also Blade i think it should have just been left with the first one. Same with Hellboy. I think Rocky should have stopped at 4. I really can't think of a movie that i want a second or a third to come out of. Remember this is all IMO

i agree that blade definitely stopped after 1. The last two were pretty mediocre IMO. But i disagree with Hellboy. I think a trilogy would be nice. And i think Guillermo del Toro is very capable of making them all very good movies.
