Worst sequels
 

After watching Men in Black 2, I'm pretty saddened. I think I can say it's one of the worst movies I've seen in my life. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith hold it up though with some entertaining lines.

This happens a lot with sequels, they don't hold up, they can't capture the magic of the original.

What would you say are the worst sequels to great movies?

-Men In Black 2
-The Matrix sequels (how can you f*ck up this bad?)
-Alien sequels besides Aliens
-Escape from L.A
-Taken sequels

What else?

Terminator: Anything after Terminator 2

Jurassic Park: Anything after the first movie

Batman '89: Anything after Returns in the 90's era.

The Mummy 3

No way. MIB 2 gave us more of Frank the pug thus making it the superior movie.

Frank the Pug was annoying and one of the worst parts of 2. The worms were better comic relief.

Anchorman 2 was horrible
Dumb and Dumber 2 was ok but Medicore
Rocky 5 (It wasn't as good as the other movies even Sly hates it)

I like Escape from L.A. The whole Escape from N.Y./L.A. is absurd, but interesting. Jerry Fallwell as president? Map of the Stars Eddie? So stupid its funny.

Home Alone should have stopped after Lost In New York. 3 was not Kevin and not even left home while out of town. Then going by to Kevin in the direct-to-T.V. film? Why even bother?

I did not like Returns of all the Bat films. It was trying to hard to be dark and was not natural like the Nolan films.

Superman should have stopped after 2.

Terrible opinion. Frank is the only redeeming part of the movie.

-Son of the Mask
-Batman & Robin
-Spider-Man 3
-The Amazing Spider-Man 2
-Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
-Transformers 2 and 3
-Thor: The Dark World
-TMNT 3
-Karate Kid Part III & The New Karate Kid

Jaws 2 and 3

Superman 3 and 4 (and Returns too for that matter)

Agree to disagree man.

Terminator Genisys
Superman IV
Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection
Dark Knight Rises
Superman Returns
I like the Star Wars prequels better than Force Awakens.

There are good movies in some of these lists. :cry:

Regardless, I'm going to throw in Die Hard 2. I think if Die Hard with a Vengeance wasn’t as good as it is, Die Hard 2 would be lumped in with 4 and 5, but a lot of people give it a pass because it's part of the original three. 1 and 3 are great, but watch 2 again - it sucks.

Highlander 2: The Quickening.

Sweet Mother, yes. That movie does not exist in my book. What were they even thinking?! :teek: The other Highlander films were okay, but 2 was just- ugh.

Here's a few- Evil Dead 2 (Sorry, but I prefer 1 and AoD. ED 2 just basically rehashed the same story.)
Iron Man 3- Mandarin. Nuff said.
Child's Play 3 and 4- Yes, they were fun, but it loses something when Chucky suddenly has a wife and kid.... :trolleye:
X-Men 3- That was NO Phoenix, I do not acknowledge that movie. Plus, since when is Jamie Madrox a BAD guy?! He's part of frigging X-Factor, fer f**k's sake!

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.
Paul Blart II
Teen Wolf II

Both are better than the first ones.

Does this include all the DTVs?
The other day I was on wiki to check out Air Bud since I felt nostalgic and thought about re-watching it only to see that had like 8 sequels about the dog doing different sports, I think I only remember the soccer sequel. And not only that one of the sequels apparently got spun-off into another DTV sequel series with another 5 or so solid entries into the Air Bud franchise. :lol: I always find it amusing when I see these generic movies span sagas in DTV trash.



To add something to the thread, I recently saw War Games:Dead Code a 2008 DTV sequel to the 80s movie and what a terrible movie it was. My OCD will probably force me to watch it again in the future since the original computer and professor from the first movie appear in it just to have some "continuity".

Unnecessary? Maybe but they are not the "worst" sequels ever, these movies don't fit the other examples we see here.

It gets worse. The movies aren't about Bud himself. They're about his puppies. And they talk.

Ace Ventura 2 is better than the first one. Fact.

Preach it.
