Shitty sequels to good movies

Mission: Impossible 2 had a lame plot, but at least it could be understood, unlike in the first one.

Anyway, the third Jurrasic Park movie seemed like a cheap attempt to get more money off of the franchise to me.

How about Mortal Kombat: Annihilation? The first one was okay, but the second one should no longer be mentioned. Just what the fuck piece of donkey shit was that?

Damn! I was going to say Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Oh well. Barring that, I nominate Star Trek: The Final Frontier.

Or, as it should have been called, Mortal Kombat: Random Cameo.

So was I.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to think up some different ones.

Scary Movie 2, had some great parts, but there was a lot of down time and I just didn't walk out of the theatre feeling as amused as I did with the first.

Jason X, I mention that one because it had one hell of a script, started out funny, and wasn't as utterly stupid and gay in the middle, plus had some really cool scenes, but those were probly cut out due to budget things and censor reasons, but the camp scene, I was just horrified that, instead off using a scene were Jason drowns his mother(since he started all the killing as a revenge for his mother, it shows how he's just turned into a thoughtless killing machine over the years) they replaced it with Jason beating a camper in a sleeping bag to death with another camper in a sleeping bag, which wasn't half as funny as what they originally had at the start.

The Two Towers. Well, I wouldn't call it a shitty sequal, but it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as FotR.

The son of Micheal Myhers, or something like that, It was suppose to be a Halloween, but I have no idea what the fuck was suppose to be going on there.

Any direct to video disney anal raping a few dollars out of classic childhood memories.

GAH, why must you all remind me of the sequel? I enjoyed the first movie and tried expunging the second from my mind...

Yeah Men in Black II sucked, I could have come up with something better than that movie ended up being.
Hey, I didn't mind the first half of MIB II. The Will Smith character was actually useful and tolerable. And then Tommy Lee Jones just had to show up, and then we were treated to Will Smith playing the Fresh Prince of Bell-air all over again.

It was SOOOO disappointing, though. I rate MIB up there with Beverly Hills Cop and Back to the Future, in terms of comedies, but the second one just didn't do the first on justice.

What about all the various sequels for "Jaws"???

Batman: Forever and Batman: George Clooney's fake abs were pretty sucky. One being bad spot on Jim Carrey's career, the other one staining Arnold Schwarzenegger almost as bad as Last Action Hero.

Nothing stains Awnuld. Besides, we'll see who's laughing last when T3 comes out this summer. Will it be The Rock with another shitty movie? Or established action-king Anwuld?

(Hint: Awnuld)

Oh yeah, my avatar reminded me of a great addition to this thread.

The Crow sequels.

The second one wasn't too too bad. But the third one.....Ugh. I've had shit come out of my ass that would have been more entertaining and enjoyable on film.

I hope to god that if the make another Crow movie, they do the right thing and stop progressively cutting the lead's hair length shorter and shorter. Furthermore, they should get Stuart Townsend to play the Crow. In "Queen of the Damned" he's a dead ringer for Brandon Lee.

Not so much Sequals but what really annoyes me are REMAKES. Oh i fucking hate how those holywood tossers take a cult classic and make it suck like a Megamaid in heat.

Points in question:-
Mean Machine
Oceans 11
Get Carter

There more but i have emotionally blocked them from memory.

How about horrendous sequels to craptacular remakes?

KING KONG LIVES

King Kong survived being shot up and falling from the World Trade Center.
After being in a coma for 10 years he only needed a blood transfusion from a giant female ape and the worlds largest artificial heart

The best part is when Kong pounds the main villan into the ground with
his fist. Shortly after that we're back to crap as the ~human sized Son of Kong is born.

Sonnenburg, wow, you hate JP2 as much as me, but for totally different reasons. While you were gettign irriatated at the characters, I was knocked senselss by the crapness of the dinosaurs.

At least JP3 did not once attempt to be realistic

The Home Alone series. Numbers 1 & 2 were childhood favorites of mine. They basically played on every kid's fantasies of being left alone to do anything they wanted. Kevin got to screw around the house/New York, watch violent movies, talk back to adults, and kick the ass off two burglars at the end.

Home Alone 3 was crap. It was obviously just an attempt to cash in on the franchise, and resembled the original two in nothing but name. Replacing badass Kevin was a completely new, annoying kiddie brainiac. Instead of being truly left home alone for an extended period of time, the kid is just staying home sick with the chicken pox. And instead of a simple story about a kid fighting off two bumbling burglars, there was some bullshit wannabe James Bond plot about international spies working for the North Koreans.

Home Alone 4 came out as a made-for-TV movie last November, on ABC's Wonderful World of Disney. I watched it only because I had nothing better to do, and wanted to see whether this one would be as big a failure as the third. It turned out to be worse. They at least they got it right by using Kevin as the main character, but it was all downhill from there. It's like the writers decided to throw continuity to the wind, B&B style. I understand the use of younger actors, since the originals are now too old. However, Kevin, Buzz, and everyone else actually seemed younger than they were in the originals. Badass Kevin was reduced to some whiny, 5 year old crybaby. His parents were now in the middle of a divorce, which was very painful to him. Uh, when the hell was the Home Alone series ever about divorce? Marv of the Wet Bandits was back, but he was completely changed from a goofy moron into a grouch (more closely resemblng his partner Harry from the originals). Harry was gone, replaced by Marv's fat, whiny wife. When the hell was Marv ever married? The jokes were lame and unfunny, and because it was Disney, there was also very little violence. The original Kevin hurled bricks and made use of fire and electrocutions. The new Kevin made use of such pussy tactics as locking a burglar into an elevator, and using prerecorded messages to fool the others.

As far as the Jurassic Park movies, The Lost World was okay, only because of the increased usage of the tyrannosaurs. 3 was crap: a very annoying kid, changing the characteristics of the dinosaurs (color changes and so forth), and worst and most laughable of all, a Spinosaurus kills a Tyrannosaurus rex!

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation(like said MK: cameo...but worse...pretty much threw away any sembelence of story MK1 had...not much, but to toss that in favor of something that makes Batman:60's look good)

Batman And Robin: The word crap is too dignified and good for this wallowing piece of shit.

Yep, I heard of Home Alone 3, and I did not even bother to go see it because I knew it would be shit fresh from the Toilet. And there was even a Home Alone 4?

The Howling II. My God what was Christopher Lee thinking when he agreed to star in that horrible piece of shit?

Highlander II is another one. I know it's already been mentioned. If the movie were a stand alone film, it would merely be shockingly bad. If, however, you saw the first film and liked it, then Highlander II must be a strong candidate for worst film ever made. Certainly worst sequel.

I don't know about worst sequel but it's certianly the worst sequel to a great movie. It's just a horrible horrible movie in it's own right (battlefield earth's got nothing on it) but to make it a sequel to one of the coolest fantasy movies ever done is worse.

Hard to believe they're by the same director isn't it?

Oh come on! so they made a dinosaur bigger than it actuially was. Like that never happened in the first movie!
