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

Yeah, unfortunatley Mel has abouot decided to do a Spaceballs prequel instead. Aside from Rick Moranas looking forward to a nice paycheck I can't picture anyone else looking forward to that one.

I would enjoy a Spaceballs prequel that trashed on the SW prequels in a funny and intelligent fashion. It's too bad Mel Brooks lost his edge.

I actually preferred T3 to T2. The acting was better, the action was better, the story was better. T3 was awesome in that it pointed out the sheer folly of anyone trying to go into the past to change the future. T3 was basically what T2 should have been. I especially loved the twist at the end; that really made it for me. I'm not saying I loved it, just that it worked better than T2 as a sequel.

And I'm still waiting for a real Alien vs. Predator movie, based on the comics.

Movie series that shouldn't have gone past the first:
Raiders of the Lost Ark

While I think the 2nd is worth missing, the 3rd movie is my favorite of the three, and one of my favorite movies of all time.

Anything Carpenter ever did from Halloween (1978) to In the Mouth of Madness (1994). He did great stuff that left you wondering and using your own imagination to have to fill in the blanks for most of his good stuff and the stuff he did make sequels too in this time frame he should not have. After this period he lost his edge (stuff like Escape from L.A., Ghost of Mars and the subsequent Halloween drek). I disagree on what some have said about there needing to be sequels to Big Trouble in Little China and The Thing. I loved and own both these movies (Big Trouble in Little China is my favorite movie of all time period) but would like to see them untarnished and left with me wondering and assuming in my head what indeed did happen to these characters. Jack Burton had the best set of lines any one hero should or could ever have. JC has lost his touch with movies and, that being said, I would not want to see anyone else do (or remake) his movies. Sadly that process has already begun with The Fog.........

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.

i think it should be on at least once a day in every cinema.

Other than the usual suspects, I thing God's Army shouldn't have had sequels. At least not sequels that were that bad. Especially with the cheap way the previous main characters were killed off, contradicting the ending of the previous movie.

The book sequel to Jurassic Park was great. Had the movies stuck closer to it, then the movie would not have been bad.

QUOTE=Joshua Dyal]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.

This does not preclude it from being a DnD movie. SO what if it had only two classes? There's still a party. And monsters might have been nice, but DnD isn't all about monsters. I personally like a good human villain in DnD games. Then everything isn't so black and white or whatever. 13th Warrior is a great DnD flick.

As for Star Trek, I enjoyed Search for Spock. Some of them are good and others not so much.

I was reading an interview with Joss Whedon. He was going to act as script doctor to Aliens: Ressurection. His ideas were phenomenal and that would have been a worthy sequels to the Alien franchise.

Everything after Batman and Batman Returns is drek and should be burned.[/QUOTE]
I'd burn Batman Returns too.

Remember at the end of Masters of the Universe when Skeletor popped his head out the water and said "I'll be back."? Thankfully, he wasn't.

The cartoon was MUCH better. I can probably say rhe same thing about Dungeons & Dragons.
