Most Disappointing Sequel? (3 Viewers)

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

Why refuse? Indie was chasing after mythical objects in the other movies.

Didn't see it, but I don't have to:

Didn't see it, but I don't have to:

They put a giant billboard of this in the ghetto-est part of Norfolk. I facepalm everytime I see it.

Highlander 2

Highlander 2 was a massive let down, to the point where it never should have been made.

I will agree with the first 2 quotes. Highlander 2 was so bad, that Highlander 3 and the TV series never mention it in the story lines. I still laugh when I think of....THE PLANET ZEIST

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

Going to have to disagree with you here. Just because you say something once and then say it again 2 years later does not make it ok

Update...ha ha ha.

In 1995, Mulcahy made a Director’s Cut version known as Highlander II: The Renegade Version. The film was reconstructed largely from existing material, with certain scenes removed and others added back in, and the entire sequence of events changed. All references to the Immortals being aliens from another planet were eliminated;

I might have to see this.

The 2nd Transformers movie didn't do much for me. The visuals were good, but meh.They tried way hard to make it funny...and the 2 hip hop robots Skid and Mudflap were abominations.

Jurassic park 2.
Transformers 2.
Highlander 2.
Terminator 3.(couldn't resist)
Germlins 2 because it tried to be way too funny.
Batman and Robin(rofl rofl rofl A BAT CREDIT CARD!!!)

so many others to name i probably could go on all day.

Future reference here: Independence day 2(2013) I don't see how this can be good.

Hannibal

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

I only read the first page so far, but Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. That movie was straight up garbage. The first movie was so awesome and to come out with that pathetic excuse of a movie is deplorable.

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

Robocop 2. Robocop3 was so bad that I have an ongoing joke with a friend of mine that the movie really doesn't exist...because whatever that hunk of crap was, it wasn't a Robocop movie. Flying Samurai robot....what will they think of next?

Robocop 2 kicked major ***! How could you not like the kid? He's one of my idols. He bribes a mayor with millions of dollars in gold, how can you not love that?

Most disappointing:

both Matrix sequels. Blech! Way to ruin a good mythos, Wachowskis
The Lost World: Jurassic Park II. The book was an obvious cash-in by Crighton, but it could have made a decent movie. The movie version just reeked.
Hannibal. Another case of an author cashing in. Once I finished the book, I knew the movie would suck. They changed the ending a little, but it was still crap.
Prequels, not sequels, but the less said about Star Wars: Episodes I-III, the better.
Star Trek: Nemesis. So was that crap at the end with Data's prototype supposed to be something like Spock's mind-meld with McCoy in ST II:TWoK? We'll never know, because Nemesis effed up so bad it killed the franchise and led to the JJ Abrams reboot of ToS.

Now for some sequels to good movies you knew were going to suck because these movies in no way demanded sequels:

Major League 2. Really?
Caddyshack 2. No, really?
Blues Brothers 2000. They saved the orphanage, went to jail for their vehicular carnage, and played some kickass shows in the prison dining hall. Did we really care what happened next?
Jewel of the Nile. Another movie (Romancing the Stone) where everything fit in perfectly, and it ends with the hero and the dame sailing (sort of) into the sunset. Why was this necessary?

And now, sequels to movies that were unexpectedly enjoyable.

Aliens. Instead of trying to recapture the feel of the original horror film, Jim Cameron created a slam-bang action flick. Too bad the franchise went off the rails in later installments.
Terminator 2. Another Cameron success. The less I think about the time travel implications, the better (hey, Skynet: send your upgraded terminator to the 1930s and kill Sara Connor's grandfather or something, it would be much easier than sending your cyborgs back to a time period where technology is catching up to them), but the action comes so fast you don't have time to worry about it.
Crocodile Dundee 2. No, seriously. The first one was a barely-interesting fish-out-of-water romantic comedy, the sequel was more of an action-adventure. Implausible as hell, sure, but Paul Hogan's personality helped carry it.
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. I really didn't care for the first one. The second one was better, in a "I'll stop channel surfing when I come across it" way.
Predator 2. A totally unecessary but enjoyable sequel, and it has Bill Paxton and Gary Busey. That alone can make a movie entertaining.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, solely for this.

Back due to the debate about the merits (or lack thereof) of Gremlins 2 in the Gremlins 3 thread

Been over a decade since the last post so there should be a lot more candidates

A lot of my new ones are MCU and Star Wars related

Thor 2 and Love & Thunder, Iron Man 2 & 3, Age of Ultron, Wonder Woman 1984 and Batman vs Superman

Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker

Coming 2 America

Denis makes just the most beautiful, utterly emotionless and forgettable movies. It's like he got a wish from an evil genie or something.
