What is your favorite part of a trilogy?

[BCRanger10]

When it comes to a trilogy, whether it's a movie or a book, which part is usually your favorite? The beginning, the middle, or the end? Or does it just depend on the overall story arc?

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 1 generally seems to be the best, and the one they put the most effort into, in a trilogy, and it always leaves you wanting more. Then, for some reason, the ones that come after always seem to let you down and not live up to the first.

It's not a rule of thumb though. Batman Begins was my favourite, but The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises were both great too. And when it comes to Avengers... even though it's not a trilogy, my favourite was Infinity War. And there are others which don't necessarily follow that order.

For Star Wars it was Empire Strikes Back. For Lord of the Rings it was Return of the King.
