| drbunnig said: I'm sure there'll be disagreement with these: National Treasure: Book of Secrets Agree with mentions of The Empire Strikes Back. I'd take The Terminator and Alien over their sequels though. Bond is an interesting one, having covered so many years and having so many different people work on the series, direct comparisons don't feel quite the same as with many others. That said, dividing into eras by actor, Connery and Moore fit the trend with From Russia with Love, Goldfinger and The Spy Who Loved Me. |
I'd actually agree with Blade Runner; as great as the first film was I found 2049's lead more engaging than Ford was in the original, and while Hauer's gravitas was missed, (far out he was such an amazing actor) the overall story I also found more compelling. 2049 is one of my of top 10 films of the 2010s actually, which really surprised me as my first reaction when I heard they were making a sequel was "ugh another soulless cash grab".
As for LOTR, I also agree on Return of the King, but not Two Towers which while still excellent I found to be the least of the trilogy due to its grim military tone not being as appealing as the vibrant adventure vibe of Fellowship or the sheer epicness of ROTK.
