[QUOTE="takyris, post: 2547186, member: 5171"] I'd differentiate between movies that should have had better sequels than the ones they had and movies that shouldn't have had any sequels. For example, somebody above mentioned Sister Act. I'll wholeheartedly agree that Sister Act 2 was bad (and I also found Sister Act 1 charming and goofy and fun), but I don't know that Sister Act 1 was so complete as to make a sequel an awful idea. It didn't NEED a sequel, but a good sequel wouldn't have hurt the first one. The Matrix, on the other hand, was so obviously meant to be a single movie that the attempts to figure out how to tack on a sequel required so much shoehorning as to retroactively make the first movie suck along with the sequels. I'd agree on Highlander -- the movie was designed to make a sequel impossible, but then they ignored that. (Although I did like the series with Adrian Paul, which is, I guess, more a re-imagining of the world in which the Kurgan was not the last immortal, merely a very powerful immortal, and Connor's sense of being "The One" was apparently just a euphoric effect from a big-honkin' quickening.) Jurassic Park, on the other hand, could have continued an interesting story with its sequels, instead of, well, turning into Jurassic Park 2. It had bad sequels, but it could have had good ones. I'd love to say that Terminator 2 shouldn't have had a sequel, but by the logic I'm using, unfortunately, I must concede that it is possible that someone could have made a good movie that addressed some of the cool world information and continued the story in an interesting way... instead of dropping Claire Danes into the movie and giving us a terminatress who makes her boobs bigger to distract a police officer she's going to kill anyway.
