You loved the original movie that came out... and of course, the studio saw the opportunity to pump out a half-assed sequel... we all have a list of these that we hated.... numerous horror movie franchises, for example, but besides those, which sequels were expected to be good, should have been good, but where complete shit. Name your top 4 or 5 sequels that pissed you off the most.

For me....

4. Hills Have Eyes 2 - 2007 - The 2006 remake of the '70s classic was badass, one of the best remakes ever. Period. And they followed it up with this shitfest, written by Wes Craven, who lost any kind of credibility as a screenwriter, ever.

3. Jurassic Park 3 - 2001 - The first two films were baddass (IMO, actually, all of this is IMO) But this movie was so retarded, and the characters were so stupid, I was cheering on the dinosaurs to eat everybody.

2. Blair Witch 2 - 2000 - I loved the first movie, very original and creepy. But this horrible sequel destroyed any chance of this turning into a good franchise, and I would have had a better time being ass ----ed.

1. Mortal Kombat Annialation - 1997 - The first one was great... but this one is, by far, the worst sequel I've ever seen. Period. The games had layer and layer of great stories that could have easily been turned into a good sequel. But no. Some producer squeezed this screenplay out of his a**. And effectively killed this potentially great franchise, and it even killed my favorite videogame franchise of my childhood.

Son of the Mask
WTF was that shit about!!!
Terminator 3
when James or Linda aint involved don't motherfuckin bother.
Spider-Man 3
is venom really in this movie? although nice effects.
Batman & Robin
I enjoyed this as a kid but now an adult WTF is this BULLSHIT George muh fuckin cloony as Bruce Wayne WTF were they thinking.

There is a Blair Witch 2?? Never knew..
In no particular order
Spiderman 3: To much story to tell in 2-2.5 hours.
Superman 3: Bad story.
Superman 4: ................
Can't think of more at the moment.

X-Men 3- Do I really need to explain why? I imagine everyone here knows why this movie sucked.

Terminator 3- Same as above.

Jurassic Park 3- ^

Batman Forever/Robin- Rubber Nipple Laser Show....

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze- As a huge fan of the turtles growing up, I loved the first movie. But second was so flashy and colorful I hated it. The first movie had the gritty New York feel to it, while the second had the Rubber Nipple Laser Show feel of Batman Forever/Robin....

You fail. Secret of the Ooze was so rad. Yeah, it was much lighter, but it was a lot of fun.

Otherwise, yeah, JP3 (fucking huge embarassment to the first two), Batman & Robin, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation were some of the worst sequels I've ever seen. Hell, MK:A was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, period. The first one wasn't even good.

:lol:

At the age of five and I can tell that most of the film was shot with back drops, when they ignored Bebop and Rocksteady, threw in a wolf and snapping turtle instead, changed April's actress, no Casey Jones, Shredder looks like a numb skull rather a maniacal badass, added some pizza delivery kid who can fight just as good as the turtles, and have a cameo by Vanilla Fucking Ice.

Yeah, this movie sucked. Sucked when I was little, still sucks now.

Son of the Mask - ........
Jurassic Park 3 - A disappointing and rushed plot
Batman and Robin - Sucked.

I didn't think much of either of the matrix sequels.

Matrix Sequels- They could've fit the plot of revolutions and Reloaded into one film, and that was the original idea of the Wachowski brothers. They were planning on releasing one prequel to the Matrix(Which later got turned into an Animatrix segment), and one sequel. But they released two sequels, and there wasn't enough story for the two of them, so they just filled it up as much as they good with filler fight scenes.

Spider-Man 3- Flawed in concept, flawed in it's screenplay, casting. This movie does everything wrong, too many villains, a failure to create enticing character plots, just a gigantic mess of a film.

PoTC 2 and 3- Completely lost the charm of the first film and did nothing other then fill the movie with stupid Hostage situations, they're both really forgettable films and I wish they never happened.

X-Men 3- Same reason why SP 3 sucked. Didn't focus on the right things, added in too many characters, killed off important characters for no reason. A horrible, horrible film.

Spiderman 3.

What in the name of hell is this piece of turgid shit? Where the hell was Venom? Why is most of the screen time devoted to Peter Parkers love life? For fucks sake, in the comics theres at most 3 pages an arc for Parker and his live life, in S3 it's pretty much the entire film.

Load of bollocks. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't advertised as a superhero movie, it works as a drama, but this is far from a superhero movie.

Predator 2.

Good lord, if you don't know what I'm talking about then I envy you. I spent years defending this, but I've recently discovered just how bad this film is. Not even Danny Glover can save this. The only redeeming feature is the Predator, which you see entirely too much of, it's got stealth for a reason goddamn it.

1. X-Men 3:
---Cyclops dies in the first five minutes...? Um... what?

2. Spider-Man 3:
---As the title implies, this is about Spider Man... right? Nah, this is two and a half hours about Peter Parker and Mary Jane.

3. All the Batman movies (save Batman Begins) after the original Batman.
---I think they all just plain sucked. I guess the one with the Penguin in it wasn't all bad, but I didn't like it all that much.

4. Star Wars Episode 2 and 3
---Why Lucas, why bother making the movies if you don't really care.. Terrible acting, on top of terrible plots. They focused far too much on Anakin and Padme. I love Star Wars, but these were a wreck. I'd have loved to see more Jedi involved, and more time with the Clone War. These two were solely about Jedi. The original three and even Episode 1 had more going on than just Jedi the entire time. Great example is the Endor firefights at the same time as the Lightsaber duel on the Death Star. Also, I was expecting something much more epic for how Anakin turning to the Dark Side. I wasn't expecting:
Palpatine: Anakin, want to join the dark side and learn how to shoot lighting out of your fingers.
Anaking: I'll do whatever you ask, Master

Those are some of my top disappoints.

I agree 100% with that. Why make them if you are going to ruin all of star wars. Plot was horrible, acting especially in 3 was some of the worst ever. Did he write these movies when he was 5?

The most feared sith in all of the galaxy: Where, Where is Padme?

The most feared sith master in all of the galaxy: Uh, Erm, EEE, Ahh, it appears you killed her man.

The most feared sith in all of the galaxy: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Rambo 4/Rambo/John Rambo or whatever it's name is!
This movie sucks so bad.

You hated that?

For me, it was decent, the major downer for me is that it was only 80 minutes long. Those battle sequences were as gory and realistic as Saving Private Ryan.

O yeah I forgot about star wars. All the new films aren't worthy of the name in my opinion- utter crap.

In my opinion, all the Star Wars films are equally crappy.

Pretty much everyone is talking off of bias because everyone grew up watching the Original Trilogy, and then they got a completely different story and didn't like it in the form of the prequels.

If you ask any person who has never seen Star Wars to watch Star Wars 1-6(Prequels first, sequels second), they will always tell you that the prequels are superior films.

Wanna talk about acting?

Mark Hamil and Hayden Christinson are equally bad actors. Ewen Mcgregor is a million times better then Harrison Ford when it comes to acting. Natalie Portman is a better actress then Carrie Fisher.

Want to talk about dialogue?

" Han I love you! "
" I know."

" No, I am your father."
*Mark Hamil makes the most unconvincing sad face of all time*
"No...no..that's impossible."

Want to talk about action?

The special effects are better this time around, the choreography is much better, more suspenseful and climatic/bigger battles.

The prequels are better then the OT is every way imaginable, and anybody speaking different is really just talking out of bias. Revenge of the Sith is the strongest film in the series.

The thing is though, Star Wars has always had bad dialogue, and it has always had bad actors. The only difference is that when you saw the prequels you were old enough to finally recognize it.

*snore*

Acting is for pussies.

Star Wars was never about the acting and it never will be.

My problem with the prequels comes from the fact that the "legendary Clone Wars" turned out to be not so legendary after all, only 3 years... I got the impression from Leia that they lasted for decades, also Vader was completely wussified (unfortunately the EU has decided to run with that idea), Yoda was turned into a joke, Obi Wan was just utter shit (legendary commander my arse, all he did was wave his lightsaber a bit), Sidious>Palpatine was utter bollocks (that was meant to be a mystery?), Jedi were shit (the only Jedi in the prequels that I can bear to watch are those who were expanded on in the Clone Wars multimedia) and Padme Amidala (she was just a crap character, necessary in E1, but not afterwards, just a blatant "lol she looks a bit like Leia").

Oh yeah and Jango Fett. Way to ruin the best characters backstory George. Fucking Mandalorians.

Also all the villains were simply proto-Vaders.

Maul had the ferocity. Tyranus had the tradition. Grievous had the body.
Shame none of them had a half decent backstory and a natural charisma as characters.

Wrong!

Recently I showed these to my step-mother (which to my amazement she'd never seen any othe SW films, even over the age of 40) and felt the older ones were better. Why she does is her own opinions, maybe due to it brought her back to her 'younger' days or just because she enjoys Harrison Ford(Like many others ;) ).

And you're forgetting the fact that Star Wars is one of the few films to transcend off the screen and into other mediums, and still doing so some 30 years after it's initial release.

It seems like the cool thing to do is hate or bust on Star Wars these days. :roll:

I stopped reading there. I knew after that you didn't have an opinion worth reading.

BUT ZOMG THE PREQUELS NEEDED MORE EXPLOSIONS, AND ANAKIN NEED TO GET MORE GIRLS PREGNANT FUCK YEAH, HARD CORE MOVIES ARE THE WAY TO GO

Shame about that one mate, I see no reference to explosions, girls or "hardcore" movies in the rest of my post.

And for what it's worth, I agree with nearly everything you said, I simply do not view Star Wars as something that required 'Casablanca' level acting.

Well episode one is my favorite of all six and episode 3 is by far the worst. It has nothing to do with the bad acting, it was like trying to cram the legendary clone wars and how vader came to be into one movie. The clone wars were a joke, the story of episode 3 was a joke. 2 for me wasn't bad because they were setting up what we thought was going to be one of the most grueling wars of all time. It was over before it got started.

I second that... That is part of a short list of sequels that made me 'extremely' mad (like punch-a-baby mad)


And here is the other half of that short list...


Final Destination 3-- My god... 20 minutes into the movie and the plot holes start to appear... I like 1 and 2, but this killed the series for me...

Perhaps, but the fact is that when a lot of people complain about the prequels, the main reasons they disliked the movie was due to the poorly written dialogue and acting on Hayden's part. I mean, ultimately you look at the cast of the prequels, and George had A LOT, of talented actors.

Had the likes of Christopher Lee, Ewen Mcgregor, Natalie Portman, Samuel L Jackson, and none of them were really utilized.

And I don't really see how Yoda was turned into a joke, I mean I really got a new sense of admiration for him in the prequels what with his duels against Sideous and Dooku.

Back on Dagoba, he was much older and more pristine, but he was never a more serious character, he was like a tiny green Mr.Miagi. Obviously powerful, but when he wasn't training Luke he was cracking weird jokes and always laughing to himself.

However in the prequels he's always troubled by things, constantly troubled by how the Jedi are consistently trumped by the Sith. And more importantly, he isn't on his death bed, he's out and about in the middle of the action.

And really, you have nothing to blame for not liking the Clone Wars other then your own imagination. All you really had to go off of was off the characters words, most who had never experienced it, and Obi Won himself obviously exaggerated a lot.

And while I don't like the method in which it was presented, in it's base concept, I think the story arc of Anakin throughout the years was something much better Luke's arc.

Because even though Hayden couldn't pull it, it's a much more human and realistic way of looking at things.

Turning to the Dark Side isn't about being a badass. It's about being a little bitch and giving in to every one of your emotions. Sure, over the years Anakin built walls and barriers that lead to him becoming the cold and ruthless Darth Vader we came to know in the prequels, but in the end there's no other way they could've gone about the arc. They went about it in all the right ways, there was just something missing.

• X-men 3
• Saw 2
• Shrek 3
• Spiderman 3
• Mortal Kombat 2
• Matrix: Revolutions

Not nessessarily... was Sidious a little bitch that gave into his emotions and that led him down the dark side? Somehow I don't think so, he wanted power. The Dark side is selfishness.

I'm pretty sure I covered that like one word after the part you're quoting me on, but ok champ.

Tenchu 2 - Stealth assassins

Lord knows what possessed them to release this.

There's a Tenchu Movie? :huh: or maybe you posted in the wrong topic; we're discussing movies here.

Babe 2: Pig in the City

Terrible . . . just . . . terrible.

Brint it on, again, and again and again, please for the love of humanity just stop.

Yeah, this was lame, but it wasn't too painful to watch... there were hot cheerleaders... although none as hot as Eliza Dushku...

Robocop movies. Top that.

The mention of Robocop makes me think of some older movies. Just rewatched Childs Play 2 for the first time in a long time and it makes me realize how much the new "Chucky" movies Suuuuuuuck compaired to the old Childs Play movies.

Most of the old horror movies had sucky sequals as well, Halloween, Friday the thirtenth, and Nightmere on Elm Street.

Seed of Chucky was horrible... they tried to make it into a comedy? Aug...

The only funny part was when Chucky killed Britney Spears "Oops, I did it again."

Bride of Chucky was still better than Chucky 3.

Batman Begins. Everybody seems to like it, but there's just so many wrong bits...! For example, he opens the Batcave with a piano instead of the clock, damnit!

So I'm fickle for Batman trivia, sue me. <_<

Even if you dont like it, you have to agree that the ones with val kilmer and george clooney were the worst batmans ever.

I liked Batman Forever, though the guy who played Robin needed shooting. Val Kilmer made a pretty good Batman.

George Clooney on the other hand was mega super crap! The only good thing about the Batman & Robin movie was the sexy Uma Thurman and Arnie's freeze jokes.

Terminator 3 (cheesy and with no sarah conner, just crap)
Scary Movie 3/4 (they went downhill after the 2nd movie)
Star Wars 2 (how boring can you get)

I agree, they should have stopped at Terminator 2.

Jaws 2 3 and 4

and The Police Academy sequels the first couple were okay but the all the other ones just plain sucked
