Movies that shouldn't have sequels, but do (and vice versa).

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

What movies do you think have sequels that shouldn't? What movies do you think should have sequels that don't?

For example, why on earth is there a sequel to Final Destination? And why are their multiple Shark Attack films?

So far as movies that I want to have a sequel: I watched Constantine this weekend and am really hoping they make a second.

Return of the Jedi shouldn't have a sequel, let alone three. Or, at least, it shouldn't have the sequels that it does have...

I wouldn't mind seeing a Constantine sequel either.

I can think of two right off the bat:

Highlander - not only was Highlander 2 trash, but once you've settled the matter and there IS only one, why bother continuing on?

the Matrix - once Neo is Superman, what's the point of any other movie?

Are you talking about Dark Empire or something else from the EU? Those don't count.

Highlander should never have had a sequel.
Jaws should never have had a sequel.
Dungeons and Dragons should never have had a sequel, and shouldn've have been made in the first place.
Conan the Barbarian SHOULD have had a sequel, just not the one they made.
Jurassic Park should never have had a sequel.
The Amityville Horror should never have had a sequel.

As for movies that should, Big Trouble in Little China should've had one immediately after the first once came out. I love that movie.

**skeetkrit note to Joshua - those are prequels**

For me defiantely Highlander- the movie was done and wrapped up nicely. The sequels are just so much drek.

Aliens Ugh Aliens 3 and Alien Ressurection stank. Good first sequel to Alien followed by 2 craptastic films.

Sister Act - I liked the first one - it had a certain charm and some fun scenes. The second one was simply awful.

Meet the Parents - this whole series just shouldn't have been made.

The Whole Nine Yards - also wins the Award for stupiest title (The Whole Ten Yards)

The Matrix

for movies I would like sequels to;

Big Trouble in Little China. It has Jack Burton - need I say more?

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

The Thirteenth Warrior - this is a D&D movie.

The Matrix. The first one was a classic, the later ones, blah.
Highlander. There should have been only one.
Aliens. Alien 3 and Alien Ressurection were abysmal.
Conan the Barbarian. Destroyer was such a let-down.

 

[Desdichado]

The Thirteenth Warrior[/i] - this is a D&D movie.

Yeah, if you only allow the human race, and fighter and rogue as character classes. Maybe barbarian can pass muster too.

And it doesn't have any monsters. Don't get me wrong; it's a great movie, and I have a copy in my DVD collection, but it's not much of a D&D movie.

Buckaroo Banzai - Even gave you the name of the sequel in the ending credits. Apparently the rumor that Big Trouble in Little China started out as a sequel to BB is erronious. Some of my friends were active in a grass roots attempt to help get the sequel made, with the obvious results.

Robocop - Neither of the sequels should ever have been made.

Hellraiser - None of the sequels after the second movie should have been made.

Superman 2 deserves mention as one of the few sequels that was better than the original movie.
