Worst. Sequels. Ever.

Clerks 2 was brutal.

 

Teen Wolf Too was also no good.

 

Back To The Future 2 is passable, but 3 is downright awful.

Godfather II

 

As far as the bad ones, Blues Brothers 2000 was horrendous comedy wise, but music wise, it could have been better than the original.

 

I think Godfather II is every bit as good as the original.  To each his own, but I was shocked to see this submitted.

He was saying it’s good.

 

As for 3, someone said it’s not bad. OK, but it’s not good either.

I actually enjoyed Clerks 2.  Definitely not as good as the first, but it had some great humor.  To this day, whenever I watch the porch mnkey scene, I laugh just as hard as I did the first time I saw it.

Highlander 2 just keeps popping into my head. Keep thinking WTF were they thinking 

[LewPort71]

Godfathers I and II set the bar incredibly high so III had the deck stacked against it from the get go.

Personally I think GF III is OK.

 

For me the gold standard of terrible sequels is Caddy shack II.

 

[4_kidd_4]

Major League 2 was a dud.

 

Slap Shot 2 was even worse than that. 

 

Speaking of Charlie Sheen, Hot Shots Part Deux was the first movie I ever walked out of. Not that the first one was a masterpiece by and stretch,  but even teenage me knew when to cut my losses w part 2.

You beat me to it. Godfather II was the best sequel ever.  Blows me away when you consider how great the original was.

i have always thought Godfather II

was better than Godfather I.  Maybe the only time a sequel has actually bettered the original. 

by the way in terms of terrible sequels, as you all may have guessed I would say, “the next karate kid” starring Hillary Swank was terrible. I won’t even mention the Karate Kid re-boot starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, which I believe should be banned in the United States.

Ha, both so bad!!

 

As an aside, man Kobra Kai series is some cringey stuff. Started off OK, has some moments, but about halfway thru season 1 wife and I were basically “hate watching” it, mostly to roll our eyes and groan haha.

 

Not that we had high expectations, but comeon guys, we’re adults still hung up on high school???

 

Also, what happened to Ralph Macchio’s shoulders? Why are they missing?? 😂

haha— I will say that I am loving cobra Kai for the nostalgia. I have ingrained in my brain every aspect of the original karate kid movies. So all the references (some very subtle) to the original movies have brought be down memory lane. 
 

by the way, if you think season 1 is over the top, you should see season 2. The end of season 2 is nuclear.

Any Jaws after the original

[TBBills Fan]

Kick Ass 2.  Horrible compared to the first

[Bray Wyatt]

naked gun 2 1/2 as well as airplane 2

Oh we’ve already grimaced our way through season 2 😂 

 

Don’t get me wrong, absolutely love the original movies, and for a minute Kobra Kai was definitely entertaining in regards to nostalgia. Johnny’s character is pretty good.  But as a whole, it’s a teen drama with really bad acting. And on that note, of course we’ll watch season 3 haha!

Everything after Rocky 4 is no good.

 

Creed is good.

 

I'm currently watching Super Troopers 2.....about 40 minutes in....not as good as the original.

So Godfather II, Star Trek II and Empire Strikes Back are the only good sequels.

 

Edit: Also Aliens.

Daddys Home 2 was better than the original. And that's the only valid comparison between it and Godfather II

You beat me to it.  Not only was it horrific in every way it also attempted to destroy the first movie.

I say great.  Because all of them, except the 3 I mentioned in my post, are crap.
