    Highlander 2 still offends me. It was just so terrible. Strangely, the fourth Highlander movie was my favorite.
    Caddyshack 2 was awful, but it didn't offend me in the way that Highlander 2 does.
    Die Hard 2 was my least favorite, but it was still pretty good.
    Lethal Weapon 3 was the weakest, but it was far from bad (4 was my favorite).
    Beverly Hills Cop 3 was excessive and kind of dopey.
    The middle Fast & Furious movies got rather bad and/or pointless. The one with the Rock was good though.

    Sequels don't usually bother me. I can think of a bunch of them that were was good, if not better, than the originals. Third movies tend to be worse than sequels (when a series gets that far).

    I suddenly have an urge to watch Hamlet 2 (look it up).

    Live free or Die Hard and A good day to Die Hard


    The first 3 were amazing!

    Live Free beats the crap out of Die Harder any day.
  • Air Bud. OK, maybe he's good at basketball but there's no way he's a master of all those other sports too.

    ... has anyone mentioned "The Mummy" yet? Loved the first, but after watching the 2nd I just wanted those two hours back.

    Wonderful exception was ToyStory 2 *Ü*

    Chronicles of Rid*ick was just such a shame after the pure awesomeness of Pitch Black.
    The Starship Troopers sequels. Those are so bad they should have been on Sci-Fi
    Pirates of the Carribean was good until the fountain of youth....ugh.
    The Hobbit
    The Next Karate Kid (the one with the girl)
    Kickboxer
    Batman & Robin and Batman Forever (yay for batnipples?)
    Superman Returns
    Dragonheart 2
    Highlander 2

    The NeverEnding Story really didn't need any sequels, got one anyway and it was a disaster. I never seen any that they put out after it as it was a disgrace. I'll just pretend they didn't make any sequels. lol

    Cars 2, was just crap to me. I was excited to go see it with my kid and I was like wow this movie is all about Mater and it was so long. Could of been awesome considering the great actors they had doing the voices.

    All the Jurassic park sequels.

    Sex and the City 2

    Bridget Jones Diary 2

    Harold and Kumar Sequels, loved the first one :)

    Pirates of the Caribbean, they just got boring to me even though I love Johnny Depp.

    But do you know what sequel I was really surprised by this weekend? I saw Monsters Inc. 2 and thought there's no way its going to compare to the first one and it actually did. Really funny and good movie I thought :)

    Sex and the City movie (1 was enough)

    AGREED!!!
  • Pitch Black was a sleeper (under the radar) movie...I loved it. I saw it in the theater and bought it on DVD (back when DVD first came out and were expensive). Then comes Chronicles of Ridd!ck, it was entertaining, but lost its appeal. Now the 3rd one is coming out and I am not sure if I want to even see it. Not sure how he goes from commanding an army to being dumped on a desolate planet being hunted by mercs again, spoiler (looks similar to Pitch Black).

    Then you have XXX. Another Vin Diesel movie that was decent with action packed scenes and an awesome soundtrack to go with the movie. Then they ruined it by adding Ice whatever in the XXX: State of the Union.

    What about Mummy 3? Or as I like to call it, "The Mummy Goes to Asia."

    No one has said Twilight..

    Or is that just a given?

    Twilight should have been stopped before the 1st one came out. Terrible in all aspects of life!

    It's already been mentioned several times, but Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was perhaps the most disappointing sequel and movie of all time.

    vacation 1 was good. Christmas Vacaction was better. Vegas Vacation was the best of the group. Europeon and Eddie's Christmas should never have been made.

    Bridget Jones 2....the first was only....ehhh

    Harry Potter 3....The director totally ruined it with annoying shrunken heads and cameos of him, his wife, and kid. Egotistical much?

    Christmas Story 2? I saw that in the store. Refuse to even consider it.

    I heard that are also considering a sequel to Dazed and Confused. Lightning won't strike for that twice. Original was great.

    I can not believe Fast and the Furious got on here! With the exception of Tokyo Drift, which I didn't like, they only got better and better. Or Chronicles of Rid****! I liked Pitch Black more, but I don't think Chronicles ruined the first.

    I agree XXX was ruined with State of the Union.

    I think I might have a Vin Diesel fetish though....

    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).

    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.

    Lol, yes! It's like the Freddy without Robert Englund.

    Superman without Christopher Reeves. No one can beat the original actor.
    Same thing with Star Wars.

    The movie industry has been s*ucking lately. They either make movies based on popular teen books or they remake classics with actors that suck and more computer effects. I rarely go to the movie theater anymore.

    Honorable mention:
    • Beastmaster was so horribly good, I actually liked the sequel (very 'on the nose') although it was unnecessary
    I totally forgot about Beastmaster II (I actually liked the first one,and know I've seen the second one, but forgot it.)

    Did a websearch to bring back some memories...and evidently there was a "Beastmaster 3" hehe no idea how bad that one is.

    All of the Superman, Batman, and Spiderman reboots... how many times can they make the same story over and over?

    The Evil Dead (2013) - PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LEAVE THE CLASSIC ALONE!

    Home alone!

    How could I have forgotten Home Alone?!!!!! Lost In New York was okay but once they got rid of Macaulay, it was 'all downhill from' there.


    Oh and the matrix? Just sad...
