sometimes studios complete a hat-trick
with much aplomb and these are the proof
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
best third installments in movie
franchises I will show you where I have
made my home whilst preparing to bring
justice then I will break you for this
list we’ve picked the third films in a
franchise that were able to match or
exceed the expectations of fans
following the memorable or iconic movies
that preceded them or in some cases the
third film in the franchise was just
brilliant in its own right regardless of
the quality of the two movies that came
before it movie number 10 army of
Darkness well hello mr. fancy-pants
continuing Ash’s gruesome and at times
hilarious story we traveled down a
wormhole into medieval England in this
dark fantasy comedy
jam-packed with terrifying cackles
ridiculous fight scenes and plenty of
boomstick moments good bad I’m the guy
with the gun army of darkness retains
the outright farcical nature of its evil
dead siblings it also manages to carry
more of a storyline unlike the others
that were more like down-and-out gore
fests
plus it deserves kudos purely for its
bruce campbell on Bruce Campbell battle
sequence
number nine The Dark Knight Rises groom
take control take control of your city
The Dark Knight Rises concludes
Christopher Nolan’s rebooted Batman
trilogy that kicked off back in 2005
with Batman Begins go back to Gotham and
I will fight men like this but I will
not become an executioner
though Heath Ledger’s Joker portrayal in
2008 The Dark Knight set the bad guy
benchmark quite high now I’m always
smiling little fight now I like that
Tom Hardy’s Bane in the Dark Knight
Rises successfully matched it I’m
Gotham’s reckoning HIPPA and the
borrowed time you’ve all been dipping on
as well as giving us an intense and
notorious villain the epic superhero
film is also cinematically brilliant
yeah be kidding me no guns no killer
where’s the fun in that
keeping in line with the IMAX
extravaganza of which Nolan is
particularly fond now’s not the time for
fear that comes later
number 8 Goldfinger who you bond James
Bond to some Sean Connery is and always
will be the best James Bond his
performance in 1964 is Goldfinger was
his third appearance as the British
secret agent as well as the third
addition to the Ian Fleming inspired
Bond series who are you my name is Pussy
Galore I must be dreaming with the
action thriller came a heavy amount of
gadgets classic quotes and
sophistication you expect me to talk
know who is the Bond I expect you to die
the gold smuggling bad guy hat throwing
henchmen and bond swagger not only make
Goldfinger a terrific third entry but
also one of the best Bond films ever
number seven
Star Wars Episode six Return of the Jedi
oh great we could have chosen Star Wars
Episode three Revenge of the Sith but
nothing beats the original epic space
opera trilogy you don’t know the power
of the dark side after evil prevails in
the Empire Strikes Back Luke Skywalker
picks up his lightsaber once again to
fight back giving us the fantastic
uprising story of our protagonist Return
of the Jedi was able to smash
expectations with everything that makes
the franchise great including lengthy
lightsaber fights and elaborate space
battles

number six Harry Potter and the Prisoner
of Azkaban
it’s another year on and Harry Ron and
Hermione are more attuned to the
Wizarding World
and even more fearless than their
younger selves you found a lighted I’m
evil little cockroach remaining no the
third addition to the Harry Potter film
series was where things took a darker
turn
but like the other Potter films the
Prisoner of Azkaban was able to keep
pushing the boundaries and successfully
pulled off new themes like time travel
long-lost family and werewolves Plus
Gary freakin Oldman is in it
I go guys to kill me at it
number 5 The Bourne Ultimatum this is
Jason Bourne I was wondering when you
were going to make this call some may
have been a bit skeptical as to how
Jason Bourne story could possibly get
any more chaotic in film number 3 well
the Bourne Ultimatum certainly did not
disappoint something happened to me and
I need to know what it was
I’m a friendís keeping the pace going
from the two previous movies expert
killer Jason Bourne continues his search
for the truth including a new CIA
nuisance Nicky this is Noah vosen how
long have you been on site shifting
between countries and ducking cameras we
follow Bourne alongside brilliant
leading lady Julia Stiles as the movie
manages to keep us guessing right to the
very end they’ll kill you for giving me
this
well 1571 isn’t much of a code I guess
it’s buzzing is on his way already
number four the good the bad and the
ugly there are two kinds of people in
the world my friend

cutting listen the neck at the end of

Leone’s dollars or man with no name
collection this spaghetti-western
follows the trials and tribulations of
three gunslingers
which are the good the bad and the ugly
of the film’s title
lathered in Leone’s trademarks such as
extreme close-ups eerie characters and
killer soundtracks this 1966 Italian
movie gives us a shoot-’em-up story of
cat-and-mouse see in this world has two
kinds of people my friend

character as kick-ass as ever it also
retains the eye shifting shootouts from

this third installment as he battles
Nazis to reach a sacred treasure joined
by his father who just so happens to be
played by Sean Connery
I’m sorry they got us with its quick wit
and thought-provoking take on history
the Last Crusade is arguably the best in
the edition of the lot kneels before God
number two Toy Story 3 yeah although it
took Pixar 11 years to finally churn out
a third toy story film the third one was
