[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1120930, member: 114"] I hate sequels which rip up and throw away things that you know from previous films with no good reason. My top offenders: Highlander 2 (I saved a Highlander 1 fan from this, I felt great about that) Changed every basis for the film Alien3 - simply wiped out major characters from Aliens without any thought. A pointless sequel that missed so much opportunity. Karate Kid 3 - after the relationship which built in 2 (kid and master, kid and girl) that was unbelievably thrown away. (I doubt if anyone will agree with me on this last one) Terminator 2 - The first film was perfect, especially it's ending and the recursive nature of Biehn being the boys father etc. The second film introduces the T-2000 which is too incredibly advanced to be believed, the humans sent an Arnie back to protect this time (why didn't they send an arnie back last time? Didn't Biehn say they planned to blow the time transmitter after he was sent through). I feel that they wanted to do a sequel and include lots of cool effects but Arnie wanted to be a hero now and they needed to make it different. But for me it runs roughshod over the entire plot and backstory of the first one. P.S. Of all the bond films I really liked "The world is not enough"; primarily where it is the first example I can recall of Bond actually killing someone in cold blood (and the second time in the film when he could have done it). I hated tomorrow never dies (the helicopter blades scene! the "stealth" boat!) and any bond film with "Jaws" in it. I recognise those are just personal taste issues of course. Cheers [/QUOTE]
