Movie series that remained consistent
I’m not going to bother with a list of movie series that went downhill — there are lots of them.
But here’s a much shorter list — movie series where the quality of each movie remained consistent.
Back to the Future
- These 3 movies are best watched all in a row to get the full effect — the same things happen over and over, to comedic effect.
Jason Bourne
- These are some of my favourite action movies. I wasn’t sure about Matt Damon as an action star but The Bourne Identity showed he was one. I’m not including The Bourne Legacy, which didn’t have Jason Bourne in it — it was great but not quite as good as these ones.
Lord of the Rings
- Adapting Tolkien’s books was an extremely difficult task and I don’t think anyone could have done better than Peter Jackson. All 3 movies are absolutely brilliant — I’m not including the Hobbit movies, which are not as good.
