Sequels and Trilogies

Sequels and Trilogies

 We have all gone through that one moment while the credits are rolling on an amazing movie we just watched, thinking to ourselves, "Wow. I hope they make a second one!" But are they as good as we hoped they would be?

Well, unfortunately not all of these flicks meet our expectations. But some of them rise above their predecessors and make us believe in the magic once more! 

So with that being said, what are your favorite movie sequels or trilogies? 

As you may already know, my favorite movie franchise is the Paranormal Activity films (if you didn't know that already, check out my previous blog, "My All Time Favorite Movie Genre"). But I'm going to talk about a different movie franchise that comes to mind when I think of sequels and trilogies. 

And that movie is...

                                               "Scream" 

Directed by Wes Craven

 

When I was young, I remember staying up late one night, surfing through the television channels when I came across "Scream 2". I couldn't watch anything else. That night was the first night I actually watched a slasher flick, and it's the movie that got me to become a fanatic of Horror flicks. 

 

  The story follows Sidney Prescott, who is at first a young teenager coping with the murder of her mother. Then, one year later, she and everyone around her is terrorized by the person who claims 

to be the one that killed her mother. 

 As the movie became a sequel, the sequel quickly became a trilogy. Now, we have a fourth "Scream" that is speculated to be the first of three more Screams!

 If you haven't seen any of the Scream films, check out the trailer for the original "Scream": 

But yet another franchise that comes to mind, and I'm sure almost all of us know what I'm referring to, is...

"Star Wars" 

Directed by George Lucas

We all know what Star Wars is about. But what's amazing with this immensely successful franchise is that the first trilogy actually takes place years after the second trilogy. This story is so beautifully put together that it shows you what has happened, then explores how it became that way.

  

 This was a truly different style of film-making than most others. It was science fiction at its finest, and still remains a legendary saga to this day. 

But if you had to pick 
just one movie franchise, 
whether it be a sequel or a trilogy, 
what would that flick be?
