    Shrek (by the 4th one I was like, ugh)
    Sex and the City movie (1 was enough)

    • 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.

    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.

    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!

    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).

    I'm a massive fan of the Bourne movies. But that fourth installment WITHOUT Jason Bourne was just diabolical :explode:

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


    agreed

    ^^^^^ Absolutely agree!!

    And the follow-ups of Pirates of the Carribean were pathetic, to say the least!

    Yeah, originally Mike Myers was dead at the end of Halloween II, but when the "new story for every movie" idea flopped they decided to just keep brining him back.

    How can you have one without Michael Myers?!!!!!!! Defeating the purpose here.

    I didn't see them, and just assumed they were all awful. so if the first one sucked, then any number of sequels couldn't really "kill" it further, right?

    Also, I kind of disagree with the OP's question of sequels that "killed" the first one. I mean, just because Ghostbusters 2 of Caddychack 2 were trash doesn't mean that people don't still love the the first installments... they just (rightfully) pretend the others don't exist.

    Doesn't count because they should have never made the first one.

    well, when each one keeps making more money than the previous, I don't see them stopping.

    Die Hard... I mean Die Hard and Die Hard 2 are both excellent Christmas movies, the rest of the Die Hard sequels do not take place during Christmas time. It's just awful. :laugh:

    Just kidding. I love all of the Die Hard movies.

    Terminator. After T2 they should have stopped.
