Worst sequel in movie history.

[JoeBlank]

Highlander 2 - felt that movie left stains on me and I needed to be cleaned like a bady! To this day I even hate to say I saw it and I tell people NOT TO WATCH IT, which is a funny shory as a friend did and went on to tell me how bad it was and why I did not warn him! So, what every you do DO NOT WATCH IT!

I was not going to say anything, but now I have given in to temptation. I just have to brag that I am one of the rare people who have listened to the warnings. I liked Highlander, was warned to avoid the sequels, and have done so.

So for those of you going to the effort to warn people about Highlander 2, and thinking "If I can just save one person, it will be worth it", keep up the good work. You saved me. Thanks.

Too bad, this year's Phone Booth was awesome.

You are kidding, right? To each there own. I am glad someone enjoyed it.

The worst sequal is such a difficult choice. I have never had so many choices. Many many good nominations above.

The question I ask myself is if I can really count any horro movie sequal as bad. I mean, it is horror after all. So that eliminates the leprichan and other similar movies.

Star Trek where they meet god is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. On the other hand it was the 6th or 7th movie in the series, so I will cut it some slack.

Grease 2, gee I wonder why that sucked. I was sooo surprised.

The whole Batman series of movies except the first one would qualify as the worst sequal. It should be a crime to treat batman like this.

The Star Wars Prequils are my biggest disappointment, but it would be hard to capture the same magic of the originals. Tapping into mainstream culture with such a huge impact is not an easy thing to do. Thank god PJ did such a great job with LoTR.

Hannibal was also a rally really bad movie that did not catch any of the magic of the original Silence of the Lambs.

I'd also like to throw in my vote for Batman and Robin.

While I rather liked the Batman Forever movie (and Jim Carrey is one of the main reasons -- he is funny as hell), that movie indeed sucked.

My main complaints about the Batman and Robin movie were the fact that a lot of the score was ripped from Batman Forever (the most GLARING example being the climactic score), and the fact that they completely emasculated Bane.

Bane.

The man who broke the Bat.

One of the only Batman villains smart enough to figure out Batman was Bruce Wayne.

And exactly what did the filmmakers do to the guy?

They made him the meat-head muscle for Freeze and Poison Ivy.

WHY?!?!

I'm wondering why noone has nominated Batman Returns? I found that to be appreciably worse than Batman Forever (of course, I though Val Kilmer was better than Keaton, but that's probably blasphemy).

Of course there should also be honorable mention for Superman IV The Quest for Peace. (YEEEECCCHHHH!!!).

Die Hard 2 - dumbest premise for a disaster of all time.

The later Pink Panther movies were complete and utter dreck (Revenge and the rest).

The Meatballs sequels were pretty horrible.

The Police Academy series (the first was OK), which went on for a ridiculous number of sequels really plumbed new sewer depths.

Perhaps the reason no one's nominated Batman Returns is that it is in no way a bad movie, even though the first movie is better.

Basically, the guy that really made the movie was the Penguin. In contrast to the Joker's wild psychotic insanity, the Penguin's story is full of the kind of pathos that Joel Schumacher couldn't match with Mr. Freeze. He's quite the interesting character from start to finish.

Catwoman was also an interesting character to watch, being both the romantic lead (as Selina Kyle) and the second villain of the movie. Selina's transformation scene in particular is really something to watch, and whoever wrote the screenplay for the movie knows how to do scene work.

Raiders - Temple of Dumb, oops Doom

Ghostbusters II

Porky's Revenge

Iron Eagle II

A very Brady Sequal

For those of you blaming Joel Schumacher for the poor quality of the Batman sequels he worked on, please don't forget that the director isn't the sole person responsible for how a movie gets made.

The director still has to take orders and approve everything by the Producers too. So, you can Schumacher (yes! without a doubt!), but please spread the blame around a bit and also blame the Producers as well.

Which were - - -

Batman Forever: Tim Burton , Peter MacGregor-Scott
Batman and Robin: Peter MacGregor-Scott

I really enjoyed The Phantom Menace. I think it is a great movie. On the other hand, Attack Of The Clones really failed to impress me. The "romance" scenes were the suck, and they turned Darth Vader into a whiny teenage brat. However, I have to say the worst sequel I have personally seen was Star Trek: Insurrection. A waste of time in every way.

 

[Liquid Snake]

Alien Resurrection sucked soooooo much. And so did Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.

I've never seen the Highlander series, but I've heard the dark legend.

The Phantom Menace, even if it was a prequel. Jar Jar *shivers* and the mydichlorians *shivers* have permanently scarred my mind. Why George Lucas?! Why have you forsaken us?!

Someone already has made the warning of the D&D movie sequel, can it be as bad as the first one?
