Pirates of the Caribbean was already shit from the get-go.
The Matrix was actually a good movie which then went to shit, because they decided on making unnecessary sequels.
Oh and Chris, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World... Just so you know.

I have to go with Revolutions because the first movie was so good but they wasted all the potential with it being a virtual world so anything could happen but its all the same dudes shooting in bullet time and kung-fu wirework. And they went waaaaaay overboard with the CGI that it stopped feeling like a movie and more like I was just watching someone play a videogame.
Ah, you're not unimportant, you're just cheapFirefilm said:I think if we would have used a table, it would have had to be paid for. Kinda like no parking zones that you don't get a ticket for if your car is still running. The moment you turn your car off it becomes a "park" and you get a ticket. As long as we were standing, it wasn't a booth and we didn't have to pay.Thunderous Cacophony said:That was good, but why don't you have a table? PAX lets you set up in the middle of a hall, but you can't use a lousy card table for 15 minutes?
Also, listing great actors in Pirates of the Carribean and not mentioning Geoffrey Rush?
Well, it was a good episode in any case. I was just wondering why you had to do the last few with your lower bodies exposed.
It was made as a war movie...without an actual real-life war. Also, the big god-computer sayingkarloss01 said:

Same here for Xmen 3. Sure, it hardly compared to the other 2, but awful beyond redemption? No.ChrisRedfield92 said:
Matrix 3 was my first thought when I read the title. I'm glad it won. Though I can't help but wonder if Spiderman 3 would have been a better choice to go toe-to-toe with Matrix 3. I can't think of anything redeeming about that movie either. I never saw Pirates 2 and 3, but an end of the world just doesn't sound as bad as how badly M3 and SM3 were shat on.
Compared to the original in the series Matrix revolutions is worse, but PotC: At Worlds End is worse. The plot made no sense at all even with suspension of disbelief, the action scenes were stupid (getting married in the middle of the final battle?) and the characters were unlikable. Matrix at least had two awesome fights even with its plot issues.
Honestly so many third movies are terrible, made more so by awesome originals its hard to pick one. Alien 3 for killing off Hicks and Newt like that, Batman forever going from dark and gritty to campy and annoying, Superman 3, Poltergiest 3, terminator 3, Spiderman 3, Godfather 3, X-Men 3 etc. For every toy story 3 or Lord of the Ring Return of the king there are 10 horrific mutilations with everything good whittled away to try to pander to everyone but end up just annoying everyone.

Godfather 3
Matrix Revolutions
Poltergeist 3 in my book was also horrible....
Maybe my standards are too high...

In my opinion Matrix 3 was the worse move, but Pirates 3 was the more disappointing movie.
With the Matrix, everyone knew that it had jumped the shark when the 2nd one came out. It was so terrible that there were no hopes that 3 would be any good, and so no one was surprised when it was crap. It became clear that the only reason why Matrix 1 was any good was because they'd stolen the story from another writer, and once they were on their own, the wachowski brothers couldn't scrap together anything close to as good as the original.
With Pirates, 1 was a surprise hit and 2 was a bigger surprise when it was even better than the first one. Then the third one came out and was a suckerpunch. No one expected it to suddenly be terrible.
To sum it up, I saw pirates 3 in theaters when it came out and was completely disappointed. Matrix 2, on the other hand, was so bad that I didn't bother to watch Matrix 3 till it was on cable, and even then it was just a movie my brother and I sat down to give the MST3K treatment.

How did Spider-man 3 not make the worst movie of all time? After that movie Sam Raimi and the writing staff should have been canned and barred from Hollywood. The Matrix 3 and Pirates 3 are bad in fact so bad I did not finish watching the 3rd pirates movie, but Spider-man 3 has to take the prize for worst movie in a trilogy.
Personaly I would go with:Wriggle Wyrm said:
Return of the Jedi
The Return of the King
Back to the Future part 3
Toy Story 3
The Dark Knight Rises (maybe, need to see it again before I know for sure. My enjoyment of Nolan's Batman movies has reduced over the last few years)
OT: I liked Matrix reverlations. I did not think it was as good as The Matrix or Reloaded but I liked it. At worlds end on the other hand made my eyes bleed. That movie is so bad that every time someone watches it a puppy dies.
Reloaded and Revolutions were both pretty terrible, not to mention unnecessary. The first movie was left pretty open, and to be honest, I liked it that way. It just seemed like the sequels brought up a lot of contrived themes, in particular all of the crap regarding the Architect and The One's power being viable outside of the Matrix. I still have trouble wrapping my mind around it.
Frankly, I could say the same about the original PotC trilogy. Like with the Matrix, the second and third movies were more or less conceived at the same time, and as a result form a story arc that just feels too detached from the original movie for my tastes. And ironically, both series fell into the trap of bringing back their first movie's villain just for the hell of it.
As for which is worse, I would definitely have to go with PotC. While the Matrix got really preachy and ridiculous in the end, the action/fight sequences were always entertaining, and Revolutions at least brought a semblance of finality to a series that covered the same overall conflict throughout all its movies. At World's End not only uses Dead Man's Chest as a crutch, but ends up rendering a lot of what happened in the second movie irrelevant, introducing a large slew of characters that are hard to care about and ending with two or three bullshit plot twists.
