Still, it was a good sequel, the directing was again solid and I really liked the same dark and gloomy mood.

Was it worth the wait ? : To be honest, I don't think so. First of all, I thought that the 1rst installment was not bad but I wasn't a huge fan. Then, I think it took way too long for them to finally come up with a sequel and, eventually, it wasn't really an amazing success when it was released. I wonder why the fans didn't show up for the sequel but, as far as I'm concerned, the issue with both movies was that Ron Burgundy is such a tedious moron.

Well, to be honest, it gave me pretty much the same feeling I had while watching ‘Toy Story 3’. Indeed, the animation was once again quite amazing and it was definitely an entertaining new tale but the story was hardly original.

(Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines 2003)
Gap between movies : 12 years
Was it worth the wait ? : Not really... I mean it is not an awful movie but it is pretty average compared to the 1st two movies and it doesn't add anything interesting to the story.
Note : It then took 6 more years to deliver the next installment 'Terminator Salvation' (2009) and again 6 more years for 'Terminator Genisys' (2015)...

Gap between movies : 12 years
Was it worth the wait ? : No, definitely not. Seriously, to me, it felt as if Tobe Hooper had been forced to come up with a sequel for his classic horror film and therefore had decided to completely botched the damned thing. Anyway, this sequel was basically some kind of rather weird feverish nightmare and, I know, I make it now sound more appealing than it actually was.

Was it worth the wait ? : Obviously not. To be honest, I thought that the previous installment was released only a few years ago. Anyway, both movies were both borderline unwatchable. Hopefully, Robert Rodriguez will finally drop this concept which it did have some potential at some point but it was never properly developed, I'm afraid.

Was it worth the wait ? : I have some serious doubts about this one. Indeed, I really loved the Japanese version 'Ringu', but 'The Ring' was in fact decent at best and seriously overrated. On top of that, 'The Ring Two' was really weak and I don't see how another sequel more than 10 years later could be any improvement.

Was it worth the wait ? : Not really... I mean, I don't think it was, at first, a bad idea to make a sequel to a Disney feature but why 'The Rescuers'? It is a decent flick but not one of their best. Anyway, many consider this sequel as underrated but I thought it was really average. Eventually, it was a flop and it is because of this that we got all those dreadful direct-to-DVD sequels...

Was it worth the wait ? : Honestly, who thought it would be a good idea to make yet another sequel about our hunter from down under?!? The 1st sequel was a logical step since the 1st installment was a surprise success but to make another sequel 13 years later whereas everybody had completely forgotten about this character seemed rather dumb to me. Obviously, it was a flop and it was deserved.

Was it worth the wait ? : Yes and No. This sequel has just been released and it is already a massive box-office success so, if you would ask Disney, they would say it was definitely worth it. However, even though they obviously wanted to convince us that it was something really different than ‘Finding Nemo’, it was really pretty much the same thing which was really disappointing.

The only thing preventing this movie from becoming really amazing was the fact that the story was just way too similar to its predecessor's but it was still a really strong sequel.
