This list is great! I've even gone so far as consistently avoiding any film ending in 2, 3, 4, and so on. Worst on here is probably Ocean's 12 or Spiderman 3...shameful, really.

You have given some "very bad sequels" 3½ and 3? Whats going on.

I also gave Terminator 3 a 7!! Call the police!!!!

I did explain down the side that they were in relation to their predecessors, T1 and T2 were 9 or 10 out of ten films, T3 didn't match up to expectations. Maybe its not VERY bad, but it wasn't good.

"When I finished watching these films I was left with the feeling that the whole series had been ruined" So what did you reckon to Ring 3? Should the film-makers release it in 2009 then? ;-)

Haha well spotted, I have been caught out there! Ring two was diabolical so when I searched The Ring and that came up it made the cut by default. If it is good I am big enough to take it down hehe.

The Matrix sequels were brilliant, they need need more than one viewing to reveal themselves. Maybe you should go back and take another look ;-)

Also, Die Another Day? It can hardly be called a sequel. Do you consider it a sequel to Dr No? :)

RB6K

Posted : 11 months, 1 week ago at Dec 14 11:24

Well I guess you could say that it is a sequel to Dr No. It is part of a series though. To be fair if Dr No had not been profitable do you think they would have made any more Bonds?

Great list, but I think P2 was a good movie - now AVP and AVPR that's bad!

escafeld

Posted : 11 months, 1 week ago at Dec 14 12:17

I thought AVP was good but AVPR was bad, real bad, just a very poor b-movie & an insult to the Aliens & Predator franchises. Why they didn't do a film version of the existing AVP novels I'll never know. All 3; Prey, War & Hunter's Planet would make excellent movies.

ARE YOU SHITTING ME!!! RESCUERS DOWN UNDER IS MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST!

MovieMan

Yeah man I am sorry, but so many movies on this list are actually good. Mission Impossible III bad? are you kidding? Honey We Shrunk Ourselves was also good. Others that were good: The world is not enough, Ocean's twelve, Ocean's Thirteen, and Die Another Day. I do agree a little about the American Pies however. They should probably just have stopped after 2 or 3.

Scary Movie 2 still had the Wayans Brothers who actually made the start (ONLY!) of that franchise funny. 3 onwards are a shambles.

I also have to agree with Heracles. First Disney sequel to be made part of the official theatrical movie canon.

On the fence, i agree withall of these except of scary movie 2, new nightmare, jason x (awesome as a movie not installment) in my mind the second matrix was actually better than the first. everything else besdies that is completley agreed, didn't even know they made a sequel to honey i shrunk the kids, say it aint so!

Movieman you astound me. With the rescuers I found em both shite to be honest. Scary movie was funny the first time, and then became a joke.

MovieMan

Posted : 8 months, 3 weeks ago at Feb 28 23:34

Understandable. I actually change my mind about the last two Ocean's films however, and do kind of forget a lot about The Rescuers. Die another day still was a pretty good movie, just nowhere near as good as others. And the only reason people say Scary movie isn't very good, is because it is out if this world stupid, which is what the creators go for. It is supposed to be a joke.

RB6K

If the joke isn't funny though, what can you do?

MovieMan

Posted : 8 months, 3 weeks ago at Mar 1 13:15

Good point, there's not much to do.

I think Disney should stop doing sequels of "classics" ad start doing some good new stuff :T

Description

Most of these films come from very good originals. The hype surrounding them upon release was often bigger and better than anything the film actually had to offer! When I finished watching these films I was left with the feeling that the whole series had been ruined, not just that one opportunity to enhance it. The main culprit which inspired the list is Pirates of the Caribbean - At Worlds End. An awful finale to a decent trilogy. I wouldn't say it was one of the worst films of all time, but it was a VERY bad sequel when you consider the level which had been set by the two before it.

I would like to make clear these are only bad sequels in relation to their predecessor, for example Pirates 3 is bad in comparison to Pirates 1 and 2, but is CLEARLY better than Oceans Twelve. They are not all on the same level, but they do fail to meet any form of acceptable expectation.
