Disappointing Movie Sequels?
 

Ever see an awesome movie only to get let down by the sequel? Myself, I liked the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The sequel appalling. Whoever produced it should be incarcerated.

I thought that Spectre was pretty underwhelming compared to Skyfall

Re: Disappointing Movie Sequels?
 

Kind of a lame answer, but the only example I can think of at the moment is the Pirates of the Caribbean series. The first one is so fun and enjoyable, but I honestly cannot recall a single plot point of the second one. Then the third one happened and sweet chocolate biscuits was I done. It's mildly bewildering that we're on like Pirates 7: Oops, Turned Out There Was a Bit More World Left or Whatever.

Speak for yourself, son.

I reckon Quantum of Solace was a more immediately underwhelming Bond sequel than Spectre. There was much more of a drop-off in quality between that and Casino Royale than between Skyfall and Spectre.

Terminator 2?

No. Seriously, I'm just stirring the pot. That movie was teh awesomezors!!!

Re: Disappointing Movie Sequels?
 

Ditto.

At least Spectre reached YOLT levels of ludicrous fun but I'm struggling to remember what Quantum was about...

Re: Disappointing Movie Sequels?
 

The Exorcist II: The Heretic, the Exorcist is one of the greatest horror movies, so no wonder this one was disappointing.

Kick Ass 2

They should have shot them back to back

Re: Disappointing Movie Sequels?
 

has to be: another 48 hrs, lame sequel

Blade 2 wasn't very good. One of the things that I remember letting it down was an overuse of CGI.

Highlander 2 because it took all the mystique of the Immortals away.

Predator 2 was really bad, although I enjoy Danny Glover.

Re: Disappointing Movie Sequels?
 

Poltergeist - I couldn't honestly describe the original as awesome (few movies are imo) but it is very good whilst both sequels are disappointing

predator 2 was lame yes, but i like danny glover in any film

The Matrix Reloaded

Larry Wachowski: "Hey, let's take every concept we introduced in the first movie and poop all over it!"

Andy Wachowski: "Great idea Larry! Hey, and hows about we include a bunch of pointless scenes of Rastafarians having orgies in a cave!"

Larry Wachowski: "Brilliant!"

Re: Disappointing Movie Sequels?
 

Larry and Andy?

I feel like just about any comedy sequel could qualify. Blues Brothers 2000, Caddyshack II, Anchorman 2, etc.

i believe the matrix should have been a one movie saga because sequels were bad , only some parts of revolutions i feel was worth but anyway, neo the savior( jesus like although no one can compare like that) had to have a movie to tell us how neo was a savior of mankind

Hunger Games:Catching Fire (2013)

Finding Dory(2016)

oh yeah, hunger games catching fire was total ****, i wish i didn t watch it , and i wish they never made it..

I actually like Poltergeist II almost as much as the first. Mostly because along with Pinocchio and The Exorcist it was the only film to truly scare me as a kid. Outside of Pazazu possessed Regan; Kane was the scariest character to me. While it's alot more flawed than the first and i get why others don't like it i still thoroughly enjoy it every time i watch it.

The Exorcist II is my answer here too. The first is one of my favourite films and that's one of my least favourites. I was so excited to see it the first time as a kid as well coz i'd finally overcame my fear of the first one then it was just such a mess; and somehow a really boring one too which shouldn't be possible considering how batsh!t it is.
