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...

Jaws.
Major League0 -
The Matrix!0

The Hangover. The first one was entertaining, the sequels sucked.0

The Godfather Part III, Caddyshack 2, Alvin & the Chipmunks (My daughter tortured me with these!), Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (2005)...0

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.0 -
Iron eagle
Karate kid
Revenge of the nerds0 -

Tron.
Totally with you on Tron...
Apparently there's also a remake of Logan's Run in the pipeline. Why ruin a good thing :noway:0 -
Caddyshack 2,
We have a winner folks. Absolutely positively horrible. OMG. Jackie Mason in place of Rodney Dangerfield?0 -
Agreed on Matrix and Wayne's World. I died laughing at all 3 Hangovers tho, haha0
-
Cousin Eddies sequel to Christmas Vacation.0
-
National Lampoon's went downhill after the first one as well.0
-
Van Wilder.... Never should have had a sequel0
-
Van Wilder.... Never should have had a sequel
Agreed!0 -
Fast and Furious... They could have stopped at 2 honestly. They are all great movies but they are just getting very annoying now0
-
The Highlander... "There can be only one". <They should have followed their own advice.
Starship Troopers.
And what everyone else has already mentioned.0 -
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 unnecessary0 -
Shrek (by the 4th one I was like, ugh)
Sex and the City movie (1 was enough)0 -
• Rocky (past III could've been left in gutter)
• Highlander (... I have no words)
• 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
Rocky 4 had the sexiest man who has ever walked this Earth in it. That alone makes it a movie that is worthy of being made.
Clearly I agree with Starship Troopers and Highlander and I'm so excited someone besides me likes the Beastmaster movies. However the TV show? That sucked.0 -
RoboCop should have been left with the first. The second was just "ok", third was a turd.
Ghostbusters 2 sucked.
Exceptions to the rule:
Lethal Weapon 2 was as good, if not better than the first. 3 was okay.
Evil Dead 2 was good. It was almost like a sort of reboot. I liked aspects of it more than the first. Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness is like a completely different movie. It stands on its own, though not as good in ways, it seems unfair to even compare it to the others as it is so different.0 -
FLETCH .....0

Robocop!! All the subsequent sequels, tv series, animated show and those stupid made for tv movies really ****ed up the Robocop franchise!
I hope the latest reboot exonerates it somehow, although I'm not really holding my breath!! But we'll see!0 -
The Hangover
Major League
Saw - they should have stopped at 2
Scary Movie - They should have stopped at 2
A Nightmare on Elm Street - should have stopped at 3
Paranormal Activity0 -
The third Halloween...the one that didn't even have Michael Myers in it...what a waste. I liked the Rob Zombie remakes, though, but I consider them different since they are not like the original stories (the first one kinda, but def. not the second).0
-
I'm a massive fan of the Bourne movies. But that fourth installment WITHOUT Jason Bourne was just diabolical :explode:0
-
Fast and Furious... They could have stopped at 2 honestly. They are all great movies but they are just getting very annoying now
agreed0 -
No one has said Twilight..
Or is that just a given?0
