There have been some outstanding movie trilogies over the years, but certain film series may have been better if they had called it quits at just one. While we all can appreciate the power of all-time great trilogies like Back to the Future and The Lord of the Rings , other franchises just didn’t have the fuel to go the distance.

Some trilogies have two good movies and one disappointing entry , like The Godfather , but there are others that peaked at the very start and never quite managed to reach those heights again. Even with all-time great directors involved, all of these series would have a much better legacy had they been just one single film.
