Most Disappointing Sequel? (2 Viewers)

Cruel Intentions 2 & 3

 

[DCSaints_Fan]

Truly, sorrow is a sea about me, out of which I may never swim.

What was great about the first Matrix was that it could've happened in this very universe. The second and third? Not so much...last I heard, us humans don't have magic powers to zap Squiddies with our bare hands or 'see' evil AI programs when our eyes have been burned away.

Having Neo be able to bend the rules in the Matrix=cool. Having him be Mr. Magic in the real world=lame as hell.

I thought that Reloaded was actually pretty entertaining until the ending, when he does the 'mind over matter' thing with the sentinels. If Neo would have had some type of 'wireless transceiver', it would at least be plausible(he's hacking into the Matrix and ordering the sentinels to self-destruct) but they didn't bother even doing that. As it were, I agree with you that the contrast between the 'dream world' and the 'real world' that was done so well in the first film was utterly destroyed in Revolutions.

Thats cause they went from having subtle Christain undertones in the first movie to having major Christain overtones in the sequels. By the time Matrix Revolutions is half way through they might as well have called Neo Jesus Christ. Ok...we get it, he's the savior reborn sent to sacrifice himself for us all, now show me some more bullet time face punches!

i enjoyed all three of the matrix movies....

BTW, neo had somehow left an imprint of himself in the matrix before unplugging......thus giving him the "magic" powers to stop the squiddies

i believe neo was engineered. He was suppose to be born he was the 6th or 7th version. he could just have the ability b/c he is part machine and the matrix uploads his conscience anyways.

I really enjoyed them until the end... they spent all this time fighting, the all of a sudden, its, hey, lets all get along..... kinda made me disappointed....

Where The Boys Aren't 15

It just doesn't live up to the story set up from the first 14.

But they redeemed themselves with 18.

i cannot remember the last time i got jazzed when i heard there'd be a sequel. really. of anything.

Harold and Kumar 2, I have high hopes.

 

[Goatman Saint]

Caddyshack 2

Although there are many many choices here for the worst.

 

[Bishop]

I thought the Basic Instinct sequel was boring.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull: was so pumped. Made a huge mistake by watching Raiders of the Lost Ark the night before. It succeeding in pumping me up even more but that just made the disappointment hurt all the more.

Original Trilogy - watched dozens of times.

Crystal Skull - Once

Spiderman 3 - convoluted mess. venom should have been incredible but was lame. dont get me started on the waaaay too long emo scene.

Iron Man 2 - Maybe disapointed is too strong a word. wasn't bad at all, i definitely liked it but was not nearly as enjoyable as the first and seemed too much to preview the avengers movie

Ocean's 12

Spiderman 3

Iron Man 2

Indiana Jones & the Crystal Skull

 

[Mauer]

I've still never seen Crystal Skull, I refuse.

Superman Returns was pretty terrible.

 

[Jeff Miller]

I'll say Highlander 2 the Quickening was the worst squel, Highlander was a phenominal movie, and 2 just screwed everthing up about it.

There is suposed to be a new bill and ted on the horizon. I wonder who will play Rufus.
