I’ll go with Army of Darkness; having possibly the most catchy movie dialogue of all time: https://youtu.be/30tIIV2RoX0?feature=shared

(It has four cuts; I think I’ve only seen the US theatrical)

1. Return of the King (duh!)

2. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

3. Revenge of the Sith (I know I know, guess I'm too nostalgic)

4. Infinity War

5. War for the Planet of the Apes

It's been 20 years and Return of the King is still the GOAT.

In no particular order,

  • Return of the King
  • Return of the Jedi
  • At World's End
  • Revenge of the Sith
  • Bourne Ultimatum

I think I'll vote At World's End since I imagine more people are gonna be voting for the Return movies, and I'd like to at least see it acknowledged on such a long list.

RotK for sure.

But if it's supposed to be 'best relative to the first movie' comparison, then I can't think of a movie that as much of an improvement from the first as Logan (relative to Origins).

You think it's even better than the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?

I actually thought that's the best, but I'm happy to see Return of the King get the crown.

In regards to Revenge of the Sith, I think it's my favorite 3rd movie of all time!

@infinitehope: That's a tough question since there are a lot of great scenes and characters, but I'd say the Black Gate battle would be my favourite scene. As for character, I can't pick between Aragorn and Sam.

@infinitehope: A lot of the conflict tension of the movie comes from Ironman.

Captain America is my favorite and arguably the best character but he doesn’t have that much to do in this movie.

Thor is definitely at his best. It’s the most serious version of post-Ragnorok Thor. As I said like a year ago they lean into making the comedic elements of the character be a way for him to brush off trauma.

Thanos is the best marvel movie villain. In general with powerful characters (and in this case he’s compared to “inevitability”) you want to make the character vulnerable so they don’t feel as distant.

And one thing that makes it work as an experience is that because it has so many Protagonist (and all the deaths in the opening scene,) it gives you the impression that several protagonists could die in the middle of the movie (I heard Game of Thrones is also like that,) which adds an extra layer of intensity to the intensely filmed action.

I don't blame you. That's a tough choice between Aragorn and Sam.

The Black Gate scene is incredible.

This is one of the greatest speeches imo:

Return of the King, then Last Crusade

I enjoyed both War for the Planet of the Apes and Revenge of the Sith too.

@mazahs117: Thanks for the list! Ah man, I forgot about Star Trek. I've never seen the Search for Spock but I would have included it.

Infinity War being higher than The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly has to be a joke

@brogokudestroys: I thought the climax was great. There was really nothing else that stood out to me.

I was bored watching it because it was very long, everyone was a selfish person that I didn’t connect with so it didn’t have stakes, it was not intellectually provoking or introspective, I did not care about the mini-arcs, my eyes were annoyed by how high the contrast was.

The character development of the nameless protagonist, the pacing, the brilliant cinematography, the god tier score, the character nuances and dynamics that form throughout the movie, the movie is brilliant from start to finish. The climax is easily the best part of the movie, but the rest is still excellent.

@brogokudestroys: “The character development of the nameless protagonist,”

It felt kind of emotionally hollow to me.

His character arc would be him deciding to split the cash, don’t remember what propelled it. A Reddit user said it was seeing the war around him.

Recently I watched Groundhog Day for the first time. Great movie, definitely does better in character development. https://youtube.com/shorts/Xw_sKenA4XQ?feature=shared

“character nuances and dynamics that form throughout the movie”

Wasn’t noticing that.

Yeah, it's cause he saw the war around him and realized the value of life. This can be seen with his interactions with the wounded soldier. It pretty much shows the difference between Tuco, the mc, and Angel Eyes.

That's on you lol. Even on a directional standpoint, I would rather take the older look of the movie over the bland aesthetic of Infinity War

You got Return of the King on here, which is pretty much the best the end to a trilogy that has ever existed in my opinion.
