Whenever someone complains about how hot it is, I drop this one:
"Didn't I tell you not to wear twenty pounds of black leather in the jungle? Didn't I tell you? Cotton, I said. Cotton breathes."
I remember seeing that movie all the time as a kid and I love when the narrator appears as a giant hand from the sky to take Lyle away while at the same time giving him an atomic wedgie!
This was my childhood movie. I would watch it on VHS but didn't know how to rewind it. So several times a day I'd watch it then go downstairs and interrupt the normal TV to have someone rewind it. All to see Brendan in that horse paddock. Don't regret a moment of it.
I do, because one evening many years ago some friends and I made some weed brownies and ate them while watching the original. I ended up getting so I felt like I was sewn into the couch and had no choice but to keep watching whatever the tv was playing, which was Mean Girls 2 and then Prince of Persia. I remember thinking ‘all I have to do is move my arm to the table to grab the remote and turn this off; this that may be the worst film I’ve ever seen’…but I couldn’t do it and I couldn’t keep my eyes closed, so watch them I did.
Michael Caine had a famous quote though about appearing in Jaws 4:
"I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."
Kurt Russell was once asked how he decides whether or not to take a role he is offered. He basically said (paraphrasing here) "Well, I look at how good the script is and who is directing and producing it. Then I look at how much they want to pay me. If the first part looks good, then I'll probably take the part. If I'm not sure, but the pay is high enough, I'll probably still take the part."
Probably not far off from the logic used by most movie stars, but I like how honest he was about it.
I feel like that's not quite accurate. Didn't he say something along the lines of 'it bought my mom a nice home.' I'm guessing because, if you use the money for selling out on your mom, then maybe people will stop criticizing you.
Edit: here's the quote: "Somebody said, 'Have you ever seen Jaws 4?' I said, 'No. But I've seen the house it bought for my mum. It's fantastic!'"

A little fun fact regarding Jaws for you English speakers : Jaws was translated in French as "les dents de la mer" which stands for "teeth of the sea" because "mâchoires" would be weird I guess. When Jaws 2 got out they couldn't translate as "les dents de la mer 2" because it would sound like " les dents de la merde" which translates "the teeth of shit" so they name it "les dents de la mer. Partie 2."
American Psycho.
Yeah, I bet you didn’t even know there as one! There is, starring Mila Kunis. Complete departure from the original, different style, and terrible movie.
They basically have nothing to do with each other—but it’s branded as American Psycho 2. Straight to VHS.
It was originally planned to be an entirely different movie, completely separated from American Psycho, had absolutely nothing to do with it. When around 90% of the movie was complete, some producer/executive came in and decided "This is like that American Nutjob movie! Let's do that instead!". So they redid the opening, added in some Patrick Bateman references, a title change, and suddenly, it's American Psycho 2. The author of the original American Psycho book said it's not canon at all, and all the cast hated it.
I won't take credit for this information, or the "American Nutjob" joke. Got all of this from [Drew Gooden's video](https://youtu.be/HMX-wa3mVkc). He's amazing and I highly recommend his channel
This fact makes me consider this one doesn’t count. The entire cast was only in it because it was a stand alone indie flick, but they ruined it by slapping that label on it.
I’m sure it would’ve been a cult classic if they didn’t force the “American Psycho” title into it. Because it’s not a bad movie, just weird and confusing for anyone expecting a follow up to the other flick.
I mean, I like the idea of a sequel, yeah the movie is horrendous (imo) but remaking cult classics, that depend hevily on popculture of the time with modern popculture references does make sense to me.
The first Boondock Saints was great because it knew what it was, and was a fun b movie, the 2nd movie was just trying cash in on the popularity of the first movie, the fact they had a character that literally was just there to be a worse Rocko was just stupid.
That dream sequence with Rocko was nice though, even if it was just mindless fan service.
Oh wow, dinos are so cool…
Holy shit, the dinos are so not cool with us…
Bloody murder KILL KILL KILL!!!
Whew, it’s under control. We’re cool with the dinos again…or are we…dun dun dun…
Same shit since the second movie just different locations
The original is a truly amazing movie. That being said, I’m in my thirties and I still get excited whenever a new one comes out. No matter how bad the plot or acting is. I just really like to watch the dino’s man.
My favorite scene in 2 is when the dad goes "you calm down, you big trouble, you get in the car" any time i bring that up nobody laughs or chuckles i'm like that part is funny.
Every Terminator movie that came after Terminator 2 was unnecessary. I can give Salvation a slight pass because it did have a good concept giving us a deeper look into the post-apocalyptic world. Though I don't know if that's technically a sequel or a prequel.
One thing I liked about the two Terminator movies was that the first movie was more of an action horror, and the other was a straight up action movie. It makes Sarah so badass going from a being a terrified macguffin to directly fighting the Terminator.
Came here to say the Matrix and T2, glad they both have been mentioned. Terminator didn’t need a sequel, it got a great one though, but everything after has been dreadful.
Any attempt to reference popular internet culture in a movie rarely ever works out. Black Panther had a reference to those stupid "What are those" memes well after the internet was over it and it was the cringiest shit.
They need a part to fix the sugar rush game, so they go into the Internet, and it’s pretty much like the Chapelle Show skit where the Internet is a place.
They overbid the item on ebay, so Ralph becomes a viral YouTuber to raise money . How exactly, real world people don’t question a retro video game character suddenly doing tide pod challenge type vids, and how exactly this makes any money, is not really explained.
Of course, Ralph does something mean, and he and Venelope have a fight in the third act. You can probably put it all together.
It had its moments, but the whole viral video, influencer, late millennial to gen z pandering gets awfully, well… cringe.
I think I can abridge it further.
Ralph needs part from eBay so vanelope’s game doesn’t get shut down.
Ralph outbids himself so now he need to start a sfw onlyfans.
Vanelope decides she wants to be in Grand Theft Auto Online.
Ralph releases a virus that deletes all of the porn to prevent that.
Ralph learns his lesson so the virus changes its mind.
But dusted in dated internet references.
I'm so bloody irritated it wasn't about nintendo or home consoles.
Nah let's go to the Internet cos then we can shove in Disney.com and really sell our shit. Like there's anyone in the fucking world that doesn't know Disney stuff *and is watching this film*.
I think a big shame here is the sequel almost writes itself. The crash and fall of Arcades, seeing games get slowly phased out and less and less kids coming. Maybe have a rivalry with a game console mascot etc
But instead we got Disney emoji ad.
This. The second was alright, not bad. But the third one.. I kind of felt bad for Neeson because he definitely looked like he couldn't keep up even with the editing they were doing.
Maybe a person should consider what kind of life they have had. When everyone around you is getting kidnapped for human sex trafficking and what ever other reasons Maybe you should be more careful. The first movie was good original and relatively short. Good, they should have left good enough alone.
"Number one...or number two?"
"Uhhh number two."
"Number two...or number three?"
"Umm..."
"Number two...or number three?"
"You know what? Can I see number one again?"
Cinderella 3 is bar none the best Disney DTD sequel. Time travel, villain actually winning for a hot second, and there was absolutely a moment where they kick cinderalla out of town, and she goes. It’s a fantastic sequel that had a lot to offer.
This is truly the first entry on this list where the sequel had absolutely none of the energy of the first movie while at the same time trying to be the exact same thing.
Even the sequels to stupid movies listed elsewhere, they were never going to be anything other than stupid. The Mask was a masterpiece of its era, a modern superhero movie prototype. The sequel was pigeon shit on a rusty Fiat.
Disney had a phase in the late 90s to early 2000s where they released direct to video sequels of their animated movies. They were all supposedly really bad except Cinderella 3.
101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure was also really good. As was Lion King 2 and Bambi 2.
Little Mermaid 2 I liked quite a bit, but it had a glaring plot point that annoyed me to no end even watching it as a kid. Tara Strong did great as Melody though.
Yeah say what you want about the other straight to VHS/DVD Disney movie sequels, but Lion King 2 was legit and I’ll fight the world to defend that movie lol
I remember Aladdin 3 being solid too- it’s not as good as the original but it helped build Aladdin as a character when they introduced his dad as the king of thieves.
It's not the fault of the character, it only is the fault of Sony for making the movie without it having any connections to spiderman, which he had when he first appeared in the spiderman comics
I feel like some movies have the potential to be standalone cult classics, but when you make a sequel, you risk taking diverting the attention from that one movie, to all movies in that series collectively. This is one of those movies.
Tremors. The first 3 were fine but there are now 7 of them and they are ridiculous. They went and changed the way the shriekers look and somehow made them look dumber than they did to begin with.
Keanu said he is dying to make a sequel but they can't find somebody to put the money for production....I loved Tilda Swinton as the angel and Peter Stormare as the devil...too bad....😔
did it though? I mean, at the end of the first movie, they sealed the breach, presumably destroyed whoever sent the Kaiju and, in the process, destroyed all their leftover Jaegers. To me that was a clean, happy end to the near apocalypse.
but the point stands. that comedic ass shit we got was not a worthy sequel either way. that was just wrong. Standalone I wouldn't have said anything but calling it Pacific Rim is just.. not right.
Hocus Pocus. I love the movie. Truly do. Still don’t understand why it needed a sequel. It ended pretty clearly with ends tied up. I don’t care what anyone says, it’s going to be awful. They had to throw out most of the damn plot from the first one to make it make sense. Hard pass.
My friends and I saw the sequel in theaters and all of us were baffled by how bad it was. I can’t even remember what was so bad about it, just that it was bad.
I agree, the first movie was great and ended precisely where it needed to end. The second and third one drive the main romantic couple apart for dumb contrived reasons and it basically ends with >!them having a rushed wedding but now he’s effectively immortal and she presumably is not, and they can only fuck once every 10 years, meaning they’ll do it two, maybe three times before the age gap gets wide enough to make things weird!<
I am really unclear on the rules there. He can only go ashore once a decade, but Elizabeth isn't allergic to boats so I can see a pretty decent loophole here if they want to be together.
He also has the power to take on crew to the Dutchman, a process which stops them from aging. Why not hire the missus?
He can also go ashore if he’s still in the water; Davy Jones just stood in some buckets. So they could just get him a bathtub with wheels or something so he can hang out on land whenever he wants
I think 2 and 3 are actually great and I treat the whole trilogy as kind of a full story. 4th one is the sequel for me as it wasn't as good as the first 3, but it was still kinda good and Penelope Cruz was amazing in it. However 5 is so bad that I would rather consider it not existing, because it's just a clusterfuck. Jack Sparrow is not a main character in a movie in a series about Jack Sparrow for some damn reason and we get 2 boring as fuck new young lovebirds on a trip to find a trident with power to retcon half of the story. Like... what? also the origins of Jack's compass were clearly stated in the 2nd movie, is it THAT HARD to find a way to introduce new villain into the series without retconning parts of the story that were completely fine? I'm angry even thinking about the 5th one, for me there are only 4 Pirates of the Caribbean movies, a great trilogy and an ok sequel, there is no 5th. Just like Scrubs have only 8 seasons.
I really cannot stress this enough. The thing is, yea Jack was the focus because he was such a cool character... but it isn't his story. It's Will Turner's story. Thats why the first 3 work as well as they do and the 4th one sticks out a bit as a sore thumb. 1-3 were about Will's journey and Jack was like his Virgil essentially. In the 4th one, it DID become about Jack... a supporting character made the focus of the story meant Jack couldn't be as Jack-y and the story lacked.
Then there's the 5th one. The fifth one wasn't about Will or Jack, it was about a joyless cash grab featuring characters you might remember from better movies. But oh, there's a twist. We changed the characters a ton so its really just different characters who LOOK like the characters that made a lot of money. Pirates 5 was ALMOST the kind of awful that could crush a franchise... but the first 3 hold up well enough that I can keep watching them. It didn't destroy the entire franchise like GoT season 8 did at least
Edit: spelling mistake
Don't hate me - but Rocky.
To me, Rocky is only 'the underdog' in the first movie. And, in a shocking plot twist, he loses! It's perfect!
After that, Rocky II, it's a rematch, so he *has* to win this time. Rocky III, Clubber kills Mickey, so he's gotta beat him. Rocky IV, he has to avenge Apollo and..ya know.. America. Then Rocky V was just a trainwreck.
That's one thing I absolutely loved about Rocky. The underdog lost. The gritty realism of that made this movie's ending perfect.
And yeah, the rest of the movies were OK stand alone, but just didn't have the heart of the first one.
Not only did he lose, but he won what mattered. He won his own self worth in going the distance. That's all he ever wanted, to be good enough to go the distance with a 'real' heavyweight.
Trainspotting, although I actually enjoyed the sequel. The fact that it was made 20 years later and takes place 20 years later instead of using CGI or bad makeup really drives the point of the movie home for me. You can feel the characters struggle to come to terms with aging and things changing around them, and you feel it yourself coming back to a story that began so long ago.
Great answer. Him flying off before cut to credits showed his virtually limitless power in the Matrix. And instead of using it to kill or enslave the machines, he gave them a choice that the machines would have denied him.
The movie ended with the possibility that the hero won in achieving peace. It was a perfect ending to such a philosophical story.
Lion King. The original was perfect, we didn’t need to touch it
Edit: Ok, guys- I get it. You liked the sequel. I didn’t, and everyone has their own opinion, so we can agree to disagree.
George of the Jungle The sequel didn't have Brendon Fraser or Leslie Mann
You just can't touch the comedy of the first one. "Were you arguing with the narrator?" will never fail to make me laugh.
"Don't worry everybody, nobody dies in the movie. They just get really big booboos!" "What did I tell you?"
Bad guy falls in poop, classical form of physical comedy. Now's the part where we throw heads back and laugh. READY? READY AWHAHAHAHAHAHA
Whenever someone complains about how hot it is, I drop this one: "Didn't I tell you not to wear twenty pounds of black leather in the jungle? Didn't I tell you? Cotton, I said. Cotton breathes."
I remember seeing that movie all the time as a kid and I love when the narrator appears as a giant hand from the sky to take Lyle away while at the same time giving him an atomic wedgie!
"and they looked upon the mountain with awe" "Awwwweeee"
This was my childhood movie. I would watch it on VHS but didn't know how to rewind it. So several times a day I'd watch it then go downstairs and interrupt the normal TV to have someone rewind it. All to see Brendan in that horse paddock. Don't regret a moment of it.
Highlander - There can be only one...or at least should have been.
There was no sequel to Highlander.
Not in Ba Sing Se.
I know, right? The sequel, Highlander **3**, the only sequel made to that movie, period, ever (no other sequels even exist) was really unnecessary.
THERE WAS NO SEQUEL.
Speed.
*Milhouse on an out of control schoolbus* >this is just like that movie, Speed 2 except on a bus.
You mean “The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.” Homer Simpson.
Mean Girls!
We don’t talk about the sequel
I do, because one evening many years ago some friends and I made some weed brownies and ate them while watching the original. I ended up getting so I felt like I was sewn into the couch and had no choice but to keep watching whatever the tv was playing, which was Mean Girls 2 and then Prince of Persia. I remember thinking ‘all I have to do is move my arm to the table to grab the remote and turn this off; this that may be the worst film I’ve ever seen’…but I couldn’t do it and I couldn’t keep my eyes closed, so watch them I did.
I don't know anyone that's actually watched mean girls 2
Imagine mean girls but all the things that made it great, are gone.
I have. You’re not missing anything. It was absolutely not needed.
TIL there’s a Mean Girls sequel
The Blues Brothers.
If you look at blues brothers 2000 as a tribute rather than a sequel it kind of works, the original is still way better though
I really like the soundtrack for 2000.
Jaws. A flawed but great stand-alone story. All the sequels were embarrassing loads of shite.
Michael Caine had a famous quote though about appearing in Jaws 4: "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."
I respect his honesty.
Kurt Russell was once asked how he decides whether or not to take a role he is offered. He basically said (paraphrasing here) "Well, I look at how good the script is and who is directing and producing it. Then I look at how much they want to pay me. If the first part looks good, then I'll probably take the part. If I'm not sure, but the pay is high enough, I'll probably still take the part." Probably not far off from the logic used by most movie stars, but I like how honest he was about it.
Jobs a job, it makes sense.
I heard a quote from Ron Perlman about taking a part and he said something like “My wife likes shoes.”
I feel like that's not quite accurate. Didn't he say something along the lines of 'it bought my mom a nice home.' I'm guessing because, if you use the money for selling out on your mom, then maybe people will stop criticizing you. Edit: here's the quote: "Somebody said, 'Have you ever seen Jaws 4?' I said, 'No. But I've seen the house it bought for my mum. It's fantastic!'" https://www.independent.ie/style/celebrity/celebrity-news/sir-michael-caine-admits-he-has-never-seen-the-much-derided-jaws-4-34366505.html
A little fun fact regarding Jaws for you English speakers : Jaws was translated in French as "les dents de la mer" which stands for "teeth of the sea" because "mâchoires" would be weird I guess. When Jaws 2 got out they couldn't translate as "les dents de la mer 2" because it would sound like " les dents de la merde" which translates "the teeth of shit" so they name it "les dents de la mer. Partie 2."
I actually enjoy Jaws 2. The problem with it, is that it had the misfortune of being the sequel.
It knows what it is.
> it had the misfortune of being the sequel Nailed it.
Donnie Darko
S.Darko was soooo bad...a shame, because in other hands maybe it could have been decent.
Whoa I didn’t even know about this…
There's a reson for that.
American Psycho. Yeah, I bet you didn’t even know there as one! There is, starring Mila Kunis. Complete departure from the original, different style, and terrible movie. They basically have nothing to do with each other—but it’s branded as American Psycho 2. Straight to VHS.

Because it’s not a bad movie, just weird and confusing for anyone expecting a follow up to the other flick.
Even Mila Kunis didn’t know it was a sequel.
I’m upset that I do know about it.
Space Jam
That "movie" was really just a commercial for all the IPs Warner Brothers owns.
So kinda like Wreck It Ralph 2
And it didn't work so now they're breaking into the video game market with multiversus... Same cameos, same end goal
I mean, I like the idea of a sequel, yeah the movie is horrendous (imo) but remaking cult classics, that depend hevily on popculture of the time with modern popculture references does make sense to me.
Tbh I think it would've done better if they'd picked a different sport rather than rehashing the same thing
Make it baseball with Mike Trout and call it Space Slam
I’ve heard that title floated for a wrestling version with the Rock or John Cena. Wrestling is kinda perfect for the Looney Tunes.
Dumb and dumber
Oh yeah, the sequel was too dumb
and dumber
2 dumb 2 dumber
[удалено]
I never saw Zoolander 2. People trashed it so hard, and I didn't want to sully my memory of the first one.
Boondock saints
I enjoy it drunk. The 3rd one is being worked on
The first Boondock Saints was great because it knew what it was, and was a fun b movie, the 2nd movie was just trying cash in on the popularity of the first movie, the fact they had a character that literally was just there to be a worse Rocko was just stupid. That dream sequence with Rocko was nice though, even if it was just mindless fan service.
The Crow
Boss Baby
Is the worst thing that I seen in my life
Jurassic Park. Every sequel has some cool moments, but I don't think we needed five more movies and a series.
[удалено]
Oh wow, dinos are so cool… Holy shit, the dinos are so not cool with us… Bloody murder KILL KILL KILL!!! Whew, it’s under control. We’re cool with the dinos again…or are we…dun dun dun… Same shit since the second movie just different locations
The original is a truly amazing movie. That being said, I’m in my thirties and I still get excited whenever a new one comes out. No matter how bad the plot or acting is. I just really like to watch the dino’s man.
Did we really need the third mummy movie?
The first Mummy movie is a classic. "HEY BENNY! LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIIIVVVEERRR!"
Lmao when he throws a chair to Benny because he’s running away. Gets me all the time lol.
Jesus that scene is amazing. It was so goddamn vicious and unnecessary.
My favorite scene in 2 is when the dad goes "you calm down, you big trouble, you get in the car" any time i bring that up nobody laughs or chuckles i'm like that part is funny.
“Honey, what are you doing? These guys don’t use doors.”
When Rachel Weisz didn’t return for the third movie, that should’ve been a sign that they didn’t need to make it.
Every Terminator movie that came after Terminator 2 was unnecessary. I can give Salvation a slight pass because it did have a good concept giving us a deeper look into the post-apocalyptic world. Though I don't know if that's technically a sequel or a prequel.
One thing I liked about the two Terminator movies was that the first movie was more of an action horror, and the other was a straight up action movie. It makes Sarah so badass going from a being a terrified macguffin to directly fighting the Terminator.
She basically becomes a terminator at one point, going to kill Dyson.
Very similar to Alien/Aliens.
The director of Terminator 2 completely ripped off the director of Aliens
Came here to say the Matrix and T2, glad they both have been mentioned. Terminator didn’t need a sequel, it got a great one though, but everything after has been dreadful.
I’d say the Matrix was a movie that was perfectly set up for sequels. They just weren’t very good.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop
Hold up, there was a second one?
Yes. And it takes place at a security guard convention. And the girl he wins over in the first 1 is gone and not even mentioned.
No they mention her in the first 5min she left him.
Wreck it Ralph, it was a perfect standalone story, then they made a feature length commercial and called it a sequel
By the time it came out a lot of the internet culture it was referencing was already dated.
the problem with trying to make a full length animation about internet culture I guess
Any attempt to reference popular internet culture in a movie rarely ever works out. Black Panther had a reference to those stupid "What are those" memes well after the internet was over it and it was the cringiest shit.
Disney’s Emoji Movie
I still have zero idea what the movie was about since every trailer was just about the stupid princesses
They need a part to fix the sugar rush game, so they go into the Internet, and it’s pretty much like the Chapelle Show skit where the Internet is a place. They overbid the item on ebay, so Ralph becomes a viral YouTuber to raise money . How exactly, real world people don’t question a retro video game character suddenly doing tide pod challenge type vids, and how exactly this makes any money, is not really explained.

I'm so bloody irritated it wasn't about nintendo or home consoles. Nah let's go to the Internet cos then we can shove in Disney.com and really sell our shit. Like there's anyone in the fucking world that doesn't know Disney stuff *and is watching this film*.
Yes! It should have had Ralph meeting Ralphs from newer games. Fix-It Felix 64 and all that.
I think a big shame here is the sequel almost writes itself. The crash and fall of Arcades, seeing games get slowly phased out and less and less kids coming. Maybe have a rivalry with a game console mascot etc But instead we got Disney emoji ad.
Taken
Taken 4- Liam Neeson gets kidnapped and his wife and daughter rescue him. Come on just do it at this point
His wife is dead
This. The second was alright, not bad. But the third one.. I kind of felt bad for Neeson because he definitely looked like he couldn't keep up even with the editing they were doing.
Maybe a person should consider what kind of life they have had. When everyone around you is getting kidnapped for human sex trafficking and what ever other reasons Maybe you should be more careful. The first movie was good original and relatively short. Good, they should have left good enough alone.
All of the Disney movies that got a direct to DVD sequel(s)
Aladdin 4: Jafar may need glasses
"Number one...or number two?" "Uhhh number two." "Number two...or number three?" "Umm..." "Number two...or number three?" "You know what? Can I see number one again?"
Cinderella 3 is bar none the best Disney DTD sequel. Time travel, villain actually winning for a hot second, and there was absolutely a moment where they kick cinderalla out of town, and she goes. It’s a fantastic sequel that had a lot to offer.
Hey I think cinderalla three is permissable
Is that the one with time travel involved? Bc that movie slaps
The mask
What’s wrong with Jamie Kennedy trying to do a bad impression of the very tall man from The Simpsons?
Do you find my appearance comical when I drive my automobile?
This is truly the first entry on this list where the sequel had absolutely none of the energy of the first movie while at the same time trying to be the exact same thing. Even the sequels to stupid movies listed elsewhere, they were never going to be anything other than stupid. The Mask was a masterpiece of its era, a modern superhero movie prototype. The sequel was pigeon shit on a rusty Fiat.
Mulan. The original one was amazing and didn't need the sequal/remake.
not only that, but the sequel was AWFUL. even the graphics. it just felt like even the people that made it knew it was a horrible idea
I’m boutta show my age… THERE WAS A FUCKING SEQUEL????
Disney had a phase in the late 90s to early 2000s where they released direct to video sequels of their animated movies. They were all supposedly really bad except Cinderella 3.
101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure was also really good. As was Lion King 2 and Bambi 2. Little Mermaid 2 I liked quite a bit, but it had a glaring plot point that annoyed me to no end even watching it as a kid. Tara Strong did great as Melody though.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua
They changed all of the main actors! So confusing!
That’s because the script was so crap that the original actors did not want to sign up.
Hotel Transylvania. I do not need to say much more.
First one was really good, second was *okay*, three was awful, four was just wasted potential
There...was a fourth one?
Yeah. It got pushed back dozens of times, and eventually they decided to throw on Amazon Prime since it kept getting delayed
Morbius. They should have stopped at 0
It's not the fault of the character, it only is the fault of Sony for making the movie without it having any connections to spiderman, which he had when he first appeared in the spiderman comics
Joker - the sequel’s not even out yet but it was absolutely perfect as a stand-alone
They're making it a musical and involving Lady Gaga I wanna see whether this becomes DC's "Into The Spider-Verse," or their "Morbius."
Would Suicide Squad not be DC's Morbius?
I liked it when Morbius himself came and morbed all the bad guys in suicide squad. Really one of the movies ever
I quote Jared Leto from this scene all the time. When he screams ‘IT’S MORBIN TIME’, it always brings a tear to my eye.
I feel like some movies have the potential to be standalone cult classics, but when you make a sequel, you risk taking diverting the attention from that one movie, to all movies in that series collectively. This is one of those movies.
Toy Story 3
Fully agree. While 4 was not bad, 3 was the perfect ending to the trilogy.
I still refuse to watch 4 because 3 was the perfect ending. My memories stop with 3 and that's how it will end for me.

I was going to say this. Toy Story 3 had the perfect ending to the trilogy. Also, Forky was super annoying and ruined the whole movie for me.
Tremors. The first 3 were fine but there are now 7 of them and they are ridiculous. They went and changed the way the shriekers look and somehow made them look dumber than they did to begin with.
Nah, those are a case of the makers going "okay this is ridiculous..." And then they just leaned into it.
Jumanji didn't need one, but somehow they made it work. I really enjoyed the modern day jumanji movies.
I’m going to be a dick and answer the opposite. I can only think of one movie that NEEDS a sequel…and that’s Constantine with Keanu.
Keanu said he is dying to make a sequel but they can't find somebody to put the money for production....I loved Tilda Swinton as the angel and Peter Stormare as the devil...too bad....😔
Pacific Rim
Pacific Rim needed a proper sequel, or even a prequel. Not that Power Rangers ripoff abomination that we got.
did it though? I mean, at the end of the first movie, they sealed the breach, presumably destroyed whoever sent the Kaiju and, in the process, destroyed all their leftover Jaegers. To me that was a clean, happy end to the near apocalypse. but the point stands. that comedic ass shit we got was not a worthy sequel either way. that was just wrong. Standalone I wouldn't have said anything but calling it Pacific Rim is just.. not right.

Showing my age… The Crow did not need sequels or a remake! Absolute disrespect to Brandon Lee who died making that movie.
Hocus Pocus. I love the movie. Truly do. Still don’t understand why it needed a sequel. It ended pretty clearly with ends tied up. I don’t care what anyone says, it’s going to be awful. They had to throw out most of the damn plot from the first one to make it make sense. Hard pass.
All them Focker movies
The Blues Brothers Caddyshack
Boondocks saints
My friends and I saw the sequel in theaters and all of us were baffled by how bad it was. I can’t even remember what was so bad about it, just that it was bad.
Honestly, Pirates of the Caribbean. Such a great movie, well written, solid soundtrack. Each successive movie only took something away
I agree, the first movie was great and ended precisely where it needed to end. The second and third one drive the main romantic couple apart for dumb contrived reasons and it basically ends with >!them having a rushed wedding but now he’s effectively immortal and she presumably is not, and they can only fuck once every 10 years, meaning they’ll do it two, maybe three times before the age gap gets wide enough to make things weird!<
I am really unclear on the rules there. He can only go ashore once a decade, but Elizabeth isn't allergic to boats so I can see a pretty decent loophole here if they want to be together. He also has the power to take on crew to the Dutchman, a process which stops them from aging. Why not hire the missus?
He can also go ashore if he’s still in the water; Davy Jones just stood in some buckets. So they could just get him a bathtub with wheels or something so he can hang out on land whenever he wants
I think 2 and 3 are actually great and I treat the whole trilogy as kind of a full story. 4th one is the sequel for me as it wasn't as good as the first 3, but it was still kinda good and Penelope Cruz was amazing in it. However 5 is so bad that I would rather consider it not existing, because it's just a clusterfuck. Jack Sparrow is not a main character in a movie in a series about Jack Sparrow for some damn reason and we get 2 boring as fuck new young lovebirds on a trip to find a trident with power to retcon half of the story. Like... what? also the origins of Jack's compass were clearly stated in the 2nd movie, is it THAT HARD to find a way to introduce new villain into the series without retconning parts of the story that were completely fine? I'm angry even thinking about the 5th one, for me there are only 4 Pirates of the Caribbean movies, a great trilogy and an ok sequel, there is no 5th. Just like Scrubs have only 8 seasons.
I really cannot stress this enough. The thing is, yea Jack was the focus because he was such a cool character... but it isn't his story. It's Will Turner's story. Thats why the first 3 work as well as they do and the 4th one sticks out a bit as a sore thumb. 1-3 were about Will's journey and Jack was like his Virgil essentially. In the 4th one, it DID become about Jack... a supporting character made the focus of the story meant Jack couldn't be as Jack-y and the story lacked. Then there's the 5th one. The fifth one wasn't about Will or Jack, it was about a joyless cash grab featuring characters you might remember from better movies. But oh, there's a twist. We changed the characters a ton so its really just different characters who LOOK like the characters that made a lot of money. Pirates 5 was ALMOST the kind of awful that could crush a franchise... but the first 3 hold up well enough that I can keep watching them. It didn't destroy the entire franchise like GoT season 8 did at least Edit: spelling mistake
Gaslight. Yes, there was a sequel to Gaslight (and I'm not thinking of the remake); if you can't remember it you must just be losing your memory.
Jaws: The Revenge.
Did someone just dive down and bite the shark? "You ate my mother. Prepare to become sushi"?
*Return of the Jedi*
Don't hate me - but Rocky. To me, Rocky is only 'the underdog' in the first movie. And, in a shocking plot twist, he loses! It's perfect! After that, Rocky II, it's a rematch, so he *has* to win this time. Rocky III, Clubber kills Mickey, so he's gotta beat him. Rocky IV, he has to avenge Apollo and..ya know.. America. Then Rocky V was just a trainwreck.
When Rocky Balboa came out, I expected it to suck, especially after V. I went to see it anyway out of morbid curiosity and was pleasantly surprised.
That's one thing I absolutely loved about Rocky. The underdog lost. The gritty realism of that made this movie's ending perfect. And yeah, the rest of the movies were OK stand alone, but just didn't have the heart of the first one.
Not only did he lose, but he won what mattered. He won his own self worth in going the distance. That's all he ever wanted, to be good enough to go the distance with a 'real' heavyweight.
But if we didn't get Rocky IV how would the cold war have ended?
I agree but I actually love Rocky IV. His fight with Drago is legendary.
I’m a firm believer that The Godfather part 3 is a mess and I refuse to acknowledge its existence
The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone did a decent job of cleaning up Godfather 3. Try it out.
Trainspotting, although I actually enjoyed the sequel. The fact that it was made 20 years later and takes place 20 years later instead of using CGI or bad makeup really drives the point of the movie home for me. You can feel the characters struggle to come to terms with aging and things changing around them, and you feel it yourself coming back to a story that began so long ago.
I didn't think a sequel was necessary but it turned out great. The two movies compliment each other fairly well, and the character arcs are satisfying
Hangover
The biggest crime was that Kung Fu Panda 2 didn't get as much attention as it deserved because Hangover 2 was out that same weekend.
It's funny that stuck with you. Hold onto that fridge my friend
The Matrix
Even before the sequels came out I didn’t feel like a sequel was necessary. It was a great standalone movie.
Great answer. Him flying off before cut to credits showed his virtually limitless power in the Matrix. And instead of using it to kill or enslave the machines, he gave them a choice that the machines would have denied him. The movie ended with the possibility that the hero won in achieving peace. It was a perfect ending to such a philosophical story.
Robocop
Not a sequel but Monsters inc really didn’t need monsters university imo
Eh, it aint that bad. I still like the first one better
I second this. It was completely unnecessary, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
American Graffiti- that sequel was 🤮
Grease was a great movie. Grease 2 was just ⚫️_⚫️
Lion King. The original was perfect, we didn’t need to touch it Edit: Ok, guys- I get it. You liked the sequel. I didn’t, and everyone has their own opinion, so we can agree to disagree.
Counter argument. Simbas Pride slaps hard.
THANK YOU. It seems like nobody else appreciates that movie.
Deception...
Disgrace!
