def59 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 In the spirit of the Sith, I would like to know which sequels you love and love to hate. For instance,three of my favorite sequels are: Beneath the Planet of the Apes Superman II Magnum Force My least favorites: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Superman III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 The all time worst would have to be Exorcist II: The Heretic. Favorites... The Empire Strikes Back Lord of the Rings (II and III), although I think they belong in a special category. X-Men 2 Godfather 2 Scream 2 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate1974 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 The absolute hands-down worst sequel (and one of the worst movies ever made) is Grease 2. What an abomination. Following closely on it's heels are Caddyshack II and More American Grafitti, two mega-turkeys. For sequels better than the original, I'd add Spiderman 2 and Shrek 2 and one that's not usually considered a sequel - Goldfinger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve! Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 "Bad News Bears Go To Japan" is pretty horrific. I'd have to say "Batman and Robin" is pretty bad, too. I didn't see "The Ring 2", but it died pretty quickly, didn't it? "Smokey and the Bandit: 2" was a craptacular crapfest of crappy crap.

Belle Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Worst: Rocky (anything after the first 2) Best: All the Harry Potter sequels :D--> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I forgot about Batman and Robin. How about the book sequels to great literary classics? H - sequel to Wuthering Heights. Scarlett - sequel to Gone With the Wind Cosette - sequel to Les Miserables The Phantom of Manhattan - no, I'm not making that up... I believe only Scarlett was made into a movie, and a TV one at that. Don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outandabout Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Pirate, you beat me to it. Grease 2 was the first one that came to my mind. Just awful. Not even the same actors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakspear Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Yeah, LOTR II & III are in a different category, since the books were written as one story, broken up into three sections, rather than self-contained books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeStGeorge Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 "The Last Seduction 2." It wasn't particularly better or worse than "The Last Seduction." There's just something wrong with having a sequel to the last of anything! George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Kind of proves that the first one was lying, doesn't it. I was going to say any sequel that comes after "The Final Chapter." There were six such sequels after the "final" chapter of Friday the 13th. The exception: We Craven's New Nightmare came after "The Final Nightmare," but it was so damn clever it deserved to be made.
