Nolan made 3 movies and all of them were anywhere from very good to excellent.
Even Raimi did good on two of three.

I'd disagree with the "one was bad". I enjoyed the first "X-Men". And I actually thought "Superman Returns" wasn't as bad as everyone else does. Sure, it was a bit emo-homo, and the whole Superbaby thing was a little out there and didn't need to be done, but it had good visual style, and Brandon Routh did as good of a Christopher Reeve impersonation as he could. The problem with that film (other than the aforementioned Superbaby plot) was that they simply tried to continue the Reeve portrayal; this new version, taking Supes in a hopefully-darker direction, is at least a new interpretation of the character.
