Which movies did you feel should've been left as they were and were 'killed' by the sequels, trilogies and more than followed after?

    Star Wars. Technically those were prequels, but you know what I mean.


    Legally Blonde. Bridget Jones' Diary. Bill and Ted.


    I did like Wayne's World 2 though...

    (I have terrible taste in movies, apparently...:laugh: )

    The Hangover. The first one was entertaining, the sequels sucked.

    Legally Blonde, yes! Surprised no one's mentioned Jurassic Park yet. The movie that would never die....That and most 'Disney Princess' movies<-should've left them at their classic originals.

    Fast and Furious... They could have stopped at 2 honestly. They are all great movies but they are just getting very annoying now

    Um, lessee here...
    • Police Academy (1 was great, 2 was marginal, rest were all downhill)
    • Star Wars (part 4-6, wonderful, part 1 was OK, 2 and 3 not so much)
    • Rocky (past III could've been left in gutter)
    • Highlander (... I have no words)
    • Karate Kid (after 2, including recent Jackie Chan version,... should've been 'Kung Fu Kid'.. HELLOOOO, China, not Japan!)
    • Star Trek (1 was the 'foot in the door', 2 was BEST by far, 3 was closure, 4-5 were... ugh, 6 was passing baton, 'Generations' was 'shoehorn', 'First Contact' was pretty good if you ignored the whole time paradox thingy, 'Insurrection'... I don't wanna talk about it.... yadda yadda...)
    • Starship Troopers (I'm in denial... only the first one exists! The rest are urban legend)


    Honorable mention:
    • Beastmaster was so horribly good, I actually liked the sequel (very 'on the nose') although it was unnecessary
