The Dark Knight Rises will be going against these threequels to see which one is the better threequel.

1. Revenge of the Sith RotS has both lower lows and much higher highs, so I'm going with RotS

2. Madoka Magica Part III: Rebellion Haven't seen.

3. Avengers: Infinity War Infinity War is funner

4. Toy Story 3 TS3 is better

5. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban PoA is better

6. Logan It's a bit overhyped, but it still hits harder than DKR

7. Return of the Jedi ... I actually haven't seen this one in way too long, so no comment.

8. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Return of the King wins

9. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly TGTB&TU stomps

Definitely doesn't stop at 1. I love ROTS, but its below TDKR as far as acting, story and characterization go.

@el_mago: ROTS has worse acting. As far as plot goes, the plot issues with TDKR pale in comparison. The strengths of ROTS mostly lay in the action and the emotional conflict in the final act, and even then there are issues with it.

It could stop at RotS tbh, but then again I'm a huge SW fan so I'm probably a bit biased in that regard. Ignoring RotS and RotJ, I think TDKR could potentially make it to Return of the King but could potentially stop at Logan or Prisoners of Azkaban prior to that point. Imo, there's an enormous gap between Return of the King and all of the movies that come before it in this gauntlet. Same goes for The Good the Bad and The Ugly.

Hard stop at 1 for me. I'd put ROTS fairly above TDK, let alone TDKR. The latter is above ROTJ, though.

Haven't watched some of these yet, but I'll say the CBMs here (IW/Logan) are also above TDKR, IMO.
