    No one has said Twilight..

    Or is that just a given?

    I had to see the first one with my gf at the time. Alll I have to say about that series is... the vampires SPARKLE IN THE SUN! SPARKLE! Let that soak in.

    Fast and Furious. I enjoyed most of them, really. But I wasn't thrilled with Tokyo Drift, and this last one.
    My jury is still out on Grease 2.....mostly because "Cool Rider" gets stuck in my head.
    Save the Last Dance 2.....I couldn't even finish watching it.
    Dirty Dancing 2 I'm iffy on.

    Any movie where a significant amount of time (say 5+ years) has passed between the last movie in the series and the new one. For example, the Indiana Jones and Die Hard movies that came out about 15-20 years after their last installment. Don't care if you were able to round up original actors and you're putting 'their kids' in it for a spin. Still sucks, don't do it, let the originals live in their own glory....

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

    I have a general rule. If it has a number after it, it's probably not worth seeing. It's held true about 98% of the time. Sequels really ruin things. It's easier to name the exceptions than the rule.

    Major League

    Major League had a sequel? I didn't even know that...

    There are 2 sequels...and both are equally horrible.

    My picks are:

    The above-mentioned Major League

    Fast & the Furious...I wouldn't say they "killed" the original; but really...6 movies?

    Die Hard...again...just overkill

    The Matrix...2 & 3 were horrible

    Shrek...2 was better than the first, IMO ; but, I think we all know that 3 & 4 were just an excuse to flood the stores with more toys

    Twilight...it's like they purposely found the worst actors in Hollywood & brought them together to make 5 abominations

    And then they had to make that Hobbit tripe. It's not even a complete story and only loosely fits in with the original. What garbage.

    No. This can't be true. That's a horrible idea.

    Also, didn't they already do a sequel, but it was a Summer Story or something like that? I remember spinning tops in it. And hethey had red neck neighbors the dad feuded with? It was cute.

    1.) Gone with the Wind
    2.) Star Wars prequels and sequels...please. Leave it alone.
    3.) Indiana Jones...Why, dear God, why?
    4.) Shrek...leave well enough alone. The first one was hilarious and unique...the horse is dead. Quit beating on it.
    5.) Avatar. I haven't even seen it yet and I can already say, please don't.
