fck shitty sequels
 

I have been inspired by our conversations about x-men3 to speak about shitty sequels, triloges, and other types of extentions that have plagued our great nation. Matrix 2 and 3, X-men 3, Star Wars episode 1-3, Scary Movie sequels(doesnt really count but whatever), Charles' Angels 2(worst movie ever), etc. Beside Star Wars Episode 5 and 6, and the LOTR trilogy, cant really think of any great ones. This thread is for us to voice our grievences about this issue.

batman begins.

The Godfather II,Terminator 2, and Aliens were really good, IMO, and there are a couple of other sequals that I like. For the most part though, movie studios just need to know when to let go!

It seems like every decent movie now has to become a franchise instead of just a good stand alone movie.

F the Jaws sequels. They forever taint the memory of one of my favorite movies.

It is all about the money that is why is they have shitty sequels. AH YES, almost forgot to mention MI:2, one of the worst movies I have ever seen as well. Don't know about MI:3, but it seems like its only going to be alot of action, and a shitty movie.

well technically batman begins is a prequel, but i thought it was very good.

I think it counts though since it was like the 5th batman movie and the 3rd and 4th ones were both god awful.

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

I also liked Men in Black, and I saw MIB:2, and it made me quite upset.

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

what about The Ring Two? Havent seen it.

What's the problem? You didn't think Alicia Silverstone had some Oscar-quality acting?

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

rush hour 2 is awesome. I like MI2 more than MI 1, though i haven't seen either for a while. The austin power sequels were really good. I liked spiderman 2 more than 1.

MI2 is better than MI 1????? Are you kidding me.....I also feel the Austin Power sequels went downhill, and its wierd bc I really hated goldmember, I thought it was terrible, but thats just me. I agree with everything else, but MI 2!?!....ahh i cant believe it..lol

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

The Ring 2 pretty much sucked. Now that I think about it, it ripped off the Omen pretty bad. There is a scene where they're in a car that gets attacked by all the elk; it would have been kind of cool if they didn't look so ridiculously fake.

Man, I thought you were saying it was bad. I kept thinking "that guy has lost it" Batman Begins I think is the best of the comic book movies. It creates the most realistic set circumstances possible of all the comic book movies. I know a lot of the super fans like the more comic book/fantasy type feel to the movies but I like a more realistic feel. Showing how Batman could "fly" and do all the things he could do was cool. And the story line was fantastic. One of my favorite movies really.

Over the past day I watched, in order, bad boys II, snatch, Analyze this, analyze that, armageddon, and scarface. I am tring to find gone in sixty seconds and then I am going to watch all of the star wars and after that I'll squeeze in the MIs.


bad boys II > Bad boys I

I just wish they hadn't used Katie Holmes. They had an incredible cast that she just didn't belong with. However, even she couldn't take away from the fact that it was a very good movie.

I still think the worst sequel ever has got to be The Fast and the Furious, or as I like to call it, Point Break 2:the reckoning. The script was bascially just changed so that instead of surfing they were street racing and instead of the robbers knocking over banks they were stealing trucks. Other than that the movies were almost identical.

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

The Police Academy movies just got better and better

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

Love the Airplane movies too

speaking of which... i can think of lots of great casts hurt by one bad female lead worse than that:

-the aunt in american gothic was terrible (though the producers also had issues with choosing the shows direction)
-drew barrymore in donnie darko (or anything else)
-rosario dawson in rent (added to sell tickets, but she was dreadful beyond words)
-the black chick in the last season of homicide: life on the streets (a cardboard box could have been more convincing)

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

What does everyone think of the Rocky series, Rambo I,II,III, die hard series?

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

[quote=TAFKAS]The Police Academy movies just got better and better[/quote]

I think they're making another one, and a new Revenge of the Nerds. Oh yeah, RotN 2 is another sequel that blew. The scene where they try to create create song from the first one just blew donkey balls.

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey was horrible...

The Police Academy series up thru the 4th one were pretty good, then got really dumb.

Naked Gun 2 and 3 weren't terrible, but those movies are hit or miss to being with.

Die Hard 2 was borderline, 3 sucked and they're making a 4th.

Rocky II, III, and IV were decent...V blew, and the new one he's making will blow too.

Ocean's Twelve wasn't too bad. Neither was Terminator 2. Caddyshack 2 blew chunks.

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

[quote=BDBohnzie] Caddyshack 2 blew chunks.[/quote]

It has been said other places, but probably not on this website..... Caddyshack was one of the best golf movies ever and Caddyshack II was the worse golf movie ever.

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

Midnight Run 2 never happened... in my head.

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

Back to the Future 2 I liked, BTTF 3 not as much.

Empire Strikes Back was good

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

underworld 2 was pretty good
jurassic park: lost world was kewl, but the 3rd one sucked pretty badly
the indiana jones trilogy r all sweet as hell especially the 2nd and 3rd ones "KALIMA!!KALIMA!!"
the harry potter movies keep getting darker and darker and thus better and better
resident evil 2 was pretty pathetic
chronicles of riddick was ok but nothing compared to Pitch Black
the transporter 2 sucked
the american pie series was kewl but nothing compared to the first one
the mummy returns was alright but why the hell did they ever make the scorpion king?
starship troopers 2 deservedly was straight to dvd
blade 2 was awesome but Blade Trinity should have been subtitled Blade is now a puss
the spiderman movies have thus far been good and sam rami has shown little reason to doubt he can do it again
for any other anime fans Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust was awesome as hell
the LOTR series r 3 of the best movies I've ever seen
the alien movies were good until Alien Resurrection
and one of the worst movies I've ever seen actually had a sequel that was worse in the House of the Dead

Joe Gibbs 1.0 kicked ass. two thumbs way up

[QUOTE=dmek25]joe gibbs 2 will rock my world?sounds like a soft porn title[/QUOTE]

yeah I sort of realized that...ooops

Toy Story 2 was good

Re: fck shitty sequels
 

[QUOTE=skinsfanthru&thru]
the transporter 2 sucked
[/QUOTE]
I thought the transporter sucked donkey balls with the 2 minute gay part where they "faught" in oil just made me confused and angry at the movie

I also agree with whoever said that the third austin powers was terrible... if you look at it, it is just the same jokes in the first two but in one movie the only part i liked was the beginning and end where they had tom cruise and other people pretending to be in the movie

twas I who said goldmember sucked, i dont agree with your assement of the transporter however. I thought the oil scene was pretty cool and different, and I liked it when i first watched it, but transporter 2 was beyond disappointing.
