You didn’t think we were done, did you? There are numerous franchises to binge watch and why not expand the list with another top five trilogies? While these movies may not rank as high as the previous entry we listed, but nevertheless, these movies are exciting and can sure add some excitement to anyone’s day. Let us begin.
The Planet of the Apes Reboot
While the franchise has seen numerous films over several decades this reboot focuses on the story of Caesar, a young ape whose journey sees the decline the human race and a viral outbreak that forever changes the face of the planet. Lead by an outstanding performance from Andy Serkis, who provides motion capture to portray Caesar, along with some incredible special effects, great action and an emotional story at its core to provide the audience with an impressive sci-fi trilogy that surpasses all its predecessors while adding some surprises as well. We love Caesar and his story is a roller coaster of a ride!
Indiana Jones 1-3
You want adventure, then look to Dr. Henry Jones (Harrison Ford). Although archeology is his specialty, he does bring his charm and some ass-kicking skills. From battling his Nazi foes, to the cannibal tribes deep in the jungle and even dealing with his estranged father, Indy sure has a lot on his plate. With witty writing and great direction from Steven Spielberg, going on an adventure has never been more exciting or enthralling! Just don’t mention the snakes, he hates those!
Lethal Weapon 1-3
Riggs and Murtaugh, two legendary LAPD cops who cause more mayhem, destruction and enough headaches for the both of them that no amount of medication will help. Both are complete opposites from one another, but when they are working together, they will get the job done. From epic shoot-outs, car chases and plenty of witless banter that would make the Bad Boys have a run for their money; the Lethal Weapon trilogy inspired countless retreads for years to come, but the chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover make these movies all the more exciting! Murtaugh wants to take its easy but he does hands his hands full with that lethal weapon as his partner!
The Jason Bourne Trilogy
He may not remember his past or why he’s the most hunted man by numerous government agencies, but Jason Bourne can surely kick some ass. Starring Matt Damon in the title role that proved his action status, the Bourne movies were not only good action films but very intelligent with the stories that they told. While they deviate from the books that inspired the films, it’s an exciting action thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Who is Jason Bourne? Why is he being hunted? In the end, we will know the truth, but let’s enjoy of the fun before we do!
John Wick Trilogy
The name alone is enough to make any hardened assassin quiver at the very mention of it. John Wick is a man who you send to kill the boogeyman, so what happens when he becomes the target? Well, simply put, you get one of the best action trilogies of this century! Keanu Reeves is perfectly cast as the man with few words to say but means business when everyone is out to kill him. Taking references from The Divine Comedy, John Wick is an intelligent action picture that was as big of a surprise than anyone could’ve anticipated. Forget special effects and car chases, the action sequences in these movies are so impressive, that watching them just once would be sacramental to anyone who loves a good action movie. The Baba Yaga may be un-killable, but who cares? We want more of him! Does anyone know where I can get a suit like his because I’m interested.
