Worst sequels

Fun fact: that was going to be a really good film. The original edit was really amazing. You can find super grainy copies on YouTube.

Then at some point it was re-edited into an almost unrecognizable film, and of course that's the one they released.

How about reboots that also suck? They're basically the same thing as sequels nowadays, just a cash-in on the original.

Now, we can all be agreed that Titanic: The Legend Goes On is a horrible load of tripe, its sequel, Tentacolino, is a whole new breed of awful. It's one thing to be a bad sequel, but it's another to be even more insulting mess than the original already was.

Cars 2
Batman & Robin
Star Trek V
Superman Returns
X-Men: The Last Stand

Ya know these sequels are bad, but still a lot better than A Crow: A wicked Prayer and Hellraiser 4- onward.
except the quickening. Oh man, I like the first Highlander and wanted to check out 2. Man that sucked.

I wish people would explain why instead of just making wall lists that no one reads.

As far as the Crow sequels I agree, I've seen them all since I'm a big fan of the first movie and my mind is a little bit hazy on them but they're all pretty bad. The second is basically a bad re-telling of the first movie except that it's a direct sequel since the little girl from the first movie appears in it as an adult. The other movies I can't even remember what they're about but some of them did have potential with having an original/interesting story for the character to have a tragic death and wanting to return for revenge but the rest of the movie just falls flat. I've never seen the TV show but I'm curious to watch it even if I heard it wasn't very good. A remake has been in development hell for years, and I kind of want to see it but I think it's just hard to re-create that 90s feel that makes the original so well. It's supposed to be based on the comics which I've never read but based on synopsis it doesn't look as fun as the first movie.

Every sequel to an old 80's or 90's movie has been terrible or mediocre. Someone refresh my memory if I'm forgetting something.

Worst of the worst? Dunno since I don't watch a lot of movies, but TMNT 3 was quite lousy. Hell, each TMNT movie is worse than the on that came before. And I'm not including TMNT 2007 and much less Turtles Forever in this. Those are animated films, so they should not be compared to the live action ones.

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.

Die Hard 2 was my least favorite Die Hard movie. And before you ask, I haven't watched 4 or 5. DH2 was just, unmemorable. Then again it was hard to top the first ever Die Hard film, one of the greatest action movies of all time.

A fairly disappointing sequel was The Two Towers. Fellowship of the Ring was pretty good and Return of the King was epic, but The Two Towers was kinda boring.

They're not unwatchable, but they are really crappy. 4 is better than 5, which says a lot about 5.

Interestingly, I understand that neither one was written as a Die Hard sequel; they were generic action movie scripts that were re-purposed. It's tempting to say, that's why they stink, but Die Hard 3 wasn't originally a Die Hard movie either, and it's awesome.
