But the director is Zack Snyder. Hope he re-create the magic of 300. If Nolan and Zack clicked, Man of Steel will be epic.
From the trailers, I got the feeling that it will be based more on great story, not just action. I think Snyder said that he will focus on Superman's super strength more over his other abilities. hope it will turn out as artistic as The Dark Knight, action packed as 300 and the TDKR.

Personally, I don't feel like comparing various trilogies. Genre is different.

arp2041 How the hell can you miss The Godfather and Star Wars series. The Godfather 1 was great, The God Father II was simple mind blowing, 3rd was fine. The Godfather II is all time best with Niro and Pacino almost neck to neck.
Star Wars, Its completely out of comparison.
@ Rest of the series
Watched Jurassic Park and became fan of dinosaurs. The Lost World was not that good like first one, 3rd Installment is not worth mentioning.
The Bourne Series. First 2 parts were good, better and the last part, Ultimatum, well it changed many things especially in action sequence. It even inspired Bond people, and James Bond were shown as James Bourne. The Bourne Ultimatum can be said as best portrayal of Jason Bourne from the novel. If you have read the novels, you will find more connection with the 3rd installment.
Sam Raimi's Spiderman can be said as new approach to super heroes where emotions and personal conflicts of the super heroes were first shown at great extent. I think it started a trend which we saw in Batman Series. Batman Series took it to next level.
The Lord of the Rings can only be made by Peter Jackson or Steven Spielberg. Jackson presented the best from such a lengthy story line. His choice of New Zealand to the visual effects-Everything clicked.
About Harry Potter series. First two installments presented complete story, well can't blame the directors as the books were not that lengthy compared to later one.
I will add more series for discussion. Hope we can discuss more about each series in discussion.
