Name A Movie Sequel That Should Have Never Been Made.

[arwalden]

You know... where the FIRST one was a GREAT flick... but the sequel was a total disaster.

[philosophie_en_rose]

1. Legally Blond

Not a masterpiece by any means, but the sequel makes it look like an Oscar contender.

[Alleycat]

2. JAWS 2

[blondeatlast]

3. American Grafitti 2. nt

[Jade Fox]

60. You know, I actually liked that one better than the original.....

It was a very different movie that the first one, but taken on its own it was enjoyable.

[sakabatou]

4. Matrix

[Benfea]

17. I disagree.

It's not that the sequels shouldn't have been made, but rather that the Wachowski brothers should have spent more time polishing the scripts.

[Broken_Hero]

20. I agree...n/t

[Goblinmonger]

5. Godfather 3

"They keep sucking me back in."

[Montauk6]

40. I've come to appreciate this movie better actually.

I think Sofia C. got a bum rap. No, she's no (fingerquote) WINONA RYDER (fingerquote) but she answered the call adequately, at least she didn't cave under the pressure as did another young more experienced, better trained actress who was supposed to play the part but couldn't hang.

Also, I think she did a helluva better job than some of the Virginia-ham pezzonovanti (e.g. Eli Wallach).

[Goblinmonger]

63. I don't think Winona would have been better

but Sofia was not great. Nor was her counter part. I just didn't feel for them like I did the first generation in I and II. I don't know if it was actors, director (probably not), script (maybe), but something didn't work.

[Goblinmonger]

6. Gremlins 2

[Goblinmonger]

7. Empire Strikes Back

I'm just shittin ya. That goes on the list of sequels that are better than the first.

[Goblinmonger]

8. Porky's 2

The first one was dumb enough, but was good high school humor. The second just bit.

[Goblinmonger]

9. Halloween 3--I'm on a roll here.

I was SO PISSED when I went to this movie and it had nothing to do with the first two. I was in high school and that money was hard to come by.

[CanuckAmok]

42. Was that the "Season of the Witch" one?

?

[Goblinmonger]

10. Bourne Supremacy

Just didn't have the same snap.

[Fenris]

11. Caddyshack II

[NewJeffCT]

59. agreed on that one

maybe they got a free bowl of soup for making it?

[Arkham House]

12. The Two Jakes

Don't get me wrong--there *was* a sequel to *Chinatown* to be made...this wasn't it, despite a few haunting moments...

[last_texas_dem]

13. Wayne's World 2

Actually, I thought this one was pretty good when I first saw it, but mainly 'cause I saw it *before* I saw the first one. After I saw the first one I realized the sequel was mostly a less-funny rehash of the good stuff about the first one. I guess I wouldn't call it a "total disaster", though; just maybe a little unnecessary.

[CatholicEdHead]

14. Indiana Jones and theTemple of Doom

One and Three are good but Two stinks.

[YankeyMCC]

15. A couple

Phantom Menance, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith

Highlander 2 (some of the others were ok but 2 just spoiled the flow completely)

[TheMightyFavog]

16. Iron Eagle II, II, and IV.

In fact, the first Iron Eagle shouldn't have been made at all. :puke:

[Benfea]

18. Alien 3+, Terminator 3

Aliens (the second movie) and Terminator 2 both provided such a satisfying end to the story, and subsequent sequels really destroyed that.

[CanuckAmok]

41. You have to look at each Alien movie as a genre piece.

#1 was a horror flick, #2 was an action flick, #3 was a conventional drama, and #4 was camp.

And I liked T3. It had a downer ending, which used to be far more common in sci-fi, but sort of died off for a while. Plus, seeing it in the theatre.... the chase between the crane and the fire engine...WOW!

[bridgit]

19. Ring2...

x(

[Ignacio Upton]

65. Same here

The sequal wasn't nearly as scary, had a lot of plot holes, and was done with CGI in many cases.

[NJ Democrats]

21. Planet of the Apes 3+

[Montauk6]

37. Is that the one where the apes are slaves in Century City, CA?

Or is that the one where Corny and Zira are treated as VIP diplomats?

[NJ Democrats]

58. #3 is the VIP Diplomats

I think 5 is Century City.
I have them all on DVD. I enjoyed them, but I think they weren't as good, and probably shouldn't have been made.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

68. I think Planet of the Apes is the first movie I recall having a Brazilian

sequels.

[jus_the_facts]

22. The Evening Star wasn't a total disaster...but it let me down big time....

....Terms of Endearment was amazing!!! :hi: :hug: :loveya:

[Flying Dream Blues]

23. Speed 2 nt

[Nikia]

24. Neverending Story 2 or 3

The original movie was awesome. The sequels weren't that great at all.

[tuvor]

25. Entertainme Weakly did an article on this a couple weeks back.

Blues Bros 2000, Legally Blonde, Leprechaun II, Caddyshack II, Speed 2, and of course a whole bunch of others.

[DerekG]

26. Halloween II

Carpenter's original was a beautifully rendered fairy tale (albeit a dark one); the sequel was a geek show, and offered up a revelation that destroyed the mystique of the antagonist.

[southernleftylady]

44. gotta disagree ..

2 is the scariest to me.. but thats just me.. micheal myers is the only "boogy man" that freaks me out lol

[DerekG]

46. The cinematography was better than the movie deserved

I do recall II being blanketed in oppressive, disquieting tones (that's gotta be the creepiest hospital in cinema); sadly, it's just a glorious sheen for a run-of-the-mill slasher flick.

Me? I preferred Myers as Evil Incarnate, rather than a zombie with family issues.

[EstimatedProphet]

27. The Sting II

OMFG! They couldn't even get the same cast!

[Theduckno2]

45. Yep, they should have left it at the closing of the vignette at the end

of "The Sting". That was a beautiful way to end an excellent movie. No sequels.

[begin_within]

28. Ocean's 12

[Bucky]

29. Bush 43

It's sad (and yet satisfying) when a president's number exceeds his approval rating.

[benny05]

50. You Win!

:rofl: :beer: :popcorn:

[Zinfandel]

53. Cheers, no one can argue that!

[Canuckistanian]

30. Rocky IV

Not exactly a strict "sequel to a great movie", but one of the worst movies ever, IMHO.

The whole "America-good, Soviet Union-Bad" theme, with it's rah-rah conditioning scenes showing both boxers and their "training methods" disgusted me.

Never a fan of Rocky or Stallone, I found the whole movie totally unwatchable even though I almost never STOP watching ANY movie.

[GOPisEvil]

31. Highlander 2 (and all other sequels) does not exist.

Nope, can't convince me.

[VelmaD]

33. There should have been...

only one.

[Richard Steele]

48. Best...answer...EVER.

I only wish I had a commendation HIGHER than JesusPie
with which to award you...but I don't.
Frankly, I blame myself.

When I think of one, I shall name it for you.
Rest assured that someday, somewhere, someone
will be thrilled that 'dicksteele' just awarded them
a "Velma".
Don't laugh- it worked out well for that Oscar chap!

But until that glorious day, please make do with the sacred PIE:

[Richard Steele]

47. THANK YOU, that needed to be said. NM

[BEZERKO]

32. Rocky II,

III, etc., etc., Rambo, Friday the 13th (and the original by the way), Ace Ventura (same), especially Halloween - the first was great, the rest sucked! Most sequels suck, not all, just most.

Best sequel was The Godfather II.

[swag]

34. Exorcist II, Exorcist III, etc.

First one was a beautiful fucking diamond.

[Montauk6]

38. I heard that III was really an atonement for II.

[specimenfred1984]

43. Yes, My Favorite Movie of all Time!

Although I liked 3 with George C. Scott. Nothing can compare to 1.

[dad]

35. weekend at bernie's 2 and 3!

also Major League 2

Best sequel i can think of off top of my head is Terminator 2

[spacelady]

36. MOSTof them--Toy story 2 may be an exception.

[Montauk6]

39. The Color of Money

OK, it wasn't a COMPLETE train wreck but it was a bit lame compared to The Hustler.

Now, I've gotta say that the scene with Newman and Forest Whitaker was priceless. It rekindled some of the spirit of the first film MUCH more than any of the scenes with Cruise's antics.

[Zinfandel]

52. Correct!

[benny05]

49. Arthur

Arthur 2 was not very funny as the script didn't work.

[LaPera]

51. Rocky XXXVII

[ghostsofgiants]

54. I just learned taht they're releasing a Basic Instinct sequel this year...

As though the first one wasn't awful enough.

[bullwinkle428]

55. BLUES BROTHERS 2000!!! Can't believe this one hasn't

been mentioned yet!

[ET Awful]

56. Police Academy 2-247

or however many there are.

The first one was mildly amusing. The rest were patheticly, horribly, astoundingly worthless.

[anarch]

57. Rambo

Should have stuck with the original ending of First Blood, IMHO.

[mitchum]

61. Obviously, Godfather 3, but also...

Freeway 2
Henry 2
French Connection 2
Where The Boys Aren't 52 (the first 51 were great, though...)

[windy252]

62. Friday the 13th and Jason movies

waaaaaaaaaaaay too many.

[hopein08]

64. Cutting Edge 2: Go for the Gold

The first was close to being great. The second went straight to ABC Family and DVD. It used the exact same story all over again.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

66. The Sting II.

From Newman/Redford to Jackie Gleason & Mac Davis. OK.

[TalkingDog]

67. Snakes on a Plane 2

Okay...Snakes on a Plane 1 hasn't come out yet, but it's in production.... And MAN, is it going to be good...

Samuel L. Jackson in....Snakes on a Plane. Coming to theatres near you.
