Films where the sequels were PAINFULLY worse than the originals

[Mellotron]

Matrix Reloaded - Unbelievably guff compared to the original, and simply did NOT need to be made.

The Matrix on it's own is a stunning piece of work.

 

[Frutos]

Airplane is a comedy classic, Airplane II is rehashed shite.

 

[Acker79]

Scary movie (particularly 3 and 4)

I'd say battle royale 2, but someone here seems to think 2 was better.

Dumb and Dumberer

Teen Wolf Too

That was me. But I'm not sure, on further thought I think both are very good.

Dumb and Dumberer is a definite though.

 

[Here's Johnny!]

Pitch Black was pretty enjoyable but The Chronicals of Riddick was not

 

[Easy 10]

Speed 2

Why ?
Just why ?

 

[Silent Bob]

Pretty much any horror film.

 

[Acker79]

the lost boys 2

 

[strings]

Speed 2

Why ?
Just why ?

Speed 3 was better...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Any of the Batmans after the on with the riddler before the new ones.

I disagree, I thought the Matrix Reloaded was a decent film, ok so it wasn't as good as the first one but still enjoyable.


Matrix Revolutions on the other hand, total nonsense

 

[Knightsworld]

Porky's 2 The next day.

Utter utter GASH.

Like I said, I just felt it did NOT need to be made. It was as if the Wachowskis went "blimey, there's a bit of money in this" and just wrote the second and third films as quickly as they could.

Also, it does not make sense as a film. It is 50% very boring dialogue scenes, then 50% people fighting for no good reason really, especially as Neo can just fly away whenever he wants to, it was all just to show off effects.

 

[Jahooli]

Any Jaws sequel...loved the first rest are carp

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Those Star Wars 'prequels' should never have been made.

As mentioned above, Dumb and Dumberer is surely the most cynical example of trying to cash in on the reputation of the original - almost worth watching because it is so bad.

Return to Oz - very odd, and another that is almost worth a watch because it's so diabolical.

Those wheelies scared the crap out of me as a kid.

Actually, that sequal is much closer to the books. And apparently there's a new wizard of oz sequal in the pipeline.

Actually quite enjoyed Return to Oz, it's proper dark compared to the original.
