We've experienced enough disappointing sequels to last a lifetime, but not every series of three movies leaves a bad taste in our mouths. On rare occasion, the final film can take the series to a whole new level.

Redditor u/RoughnecksStreetHock wanted to know which three-quels are actually better than both the first and second films in their respective series. Two thousand comments later, and we've finally landed on some solid answers.

Is there a trilogy where the best entry is the final one?

We picked out the best responses, and paired them with a trailer for your convenience, but we need to make one thing clear: We simply don't care about any arbitrary rules about what makes a trilogy.

Movie companies will continue to make new installments as long as they can, so let's just ignore "Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls," okay? Great.

The addition of Connery seals the deal

'Army of Darkness' is the perfect end to a very strange trilogy
