    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!

    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


    Edited to add one...

    George Clooney is the reason why Batman isn't a superhero :grumble:

    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...

    I'm probably the minority, but I loved the Jurassic Park sequels. It is my favorite trilogy.

    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 Activity

    ^^^^^^
    I endorse this! I have to add those PIRANHA movies, they should have just stopped at the first. That 3DD one tortured me. I seriously wanted my money back.

    Lake Placid

    Jaws

    Ananconda

    Home Alone (esp part 3)

    Yes on those Anaconda movies. I was outraged at the level of horribleness. I mean really!? My picks would be:

    Final Destination, I just didn't get the point in having so many of them.
    Legally Blonde - WHY?
    American Pie, especially the last one.
    Save The Last Dance 2
    Step Up Movies - all of them were horrible.
    Street Dance - I don't ****ing understand why they even made the 1st one, let alone 3 of them.

    A lot has already been said, but I have a few to add:


    that last Pirates of the Carribean movie that was split in two - omigod how boring was that?!?!?

    Batman reboot with Christian Bale. the guy can't enunciate and his emotive capacity might be surpassed by Kristen Stewart. I have no idea what he's saying, there's no emotial tension to the plot and the only redeeming quality for the movies is the villains. At least the previous Batman movies had a certain... tongue in cheek quality (Arnie as iceman, anyone?)

    Charlie's Angels reboot - the first was fun enough; but the second was just horrible

    Speed - the first one was great, the follow-up? not so much

    Ice Age 2 - it's a personal pet peeve of mine but if you want to make a bible-movie, make a bible-movie! Don't take a great movie and put religion in it. Ice Age 3 was actually pretty good again.

    eta: I didn't like the first Hangover (not my kind of humour) nor the first Matrix (the camerawork made me seasick and I don't get seasick on sea) so no amount of sequels could have killed them more than the dead they already were.

    LOTR was terrible...I wish they'd have left that one after the first.

    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.

    blasphemy! I'm a huge fan of the books and they followed the books as they should have. Although I do wish they'd not split the Hobbit up - seriously, it's one book and it was written for kids.

    if you were to make a thread "movies where books were better" then The Princess Bride and the LotR/Hobbit movies would probably be the only ones *not* mentioned.
