Any Jaws after the original

 

You didn’t love the one where the shark makes it personal and follows them to Florida? That was one nasty, mean spirited shark!

 

How about Jurassic Park, Part VIII? Or anything that came after that?

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

Toy Story 2, Two Towers, Shrek 2, I mean there are plenty of sequels that are good.

So is this thread about awful sequels or great sequels? :wacko:

Yes

 

Haven't seen Arthur 2 mentioned (add to the awful list.) But no one should be surprised that most of these sequels flopped. With the exception of Godfather the originals were not great pieces of art, most developed cult followings that somehow morphed in to mainstream. So the producers figure what the hell, with the original being a pleasant success, with minimal effort we put a sequel out and we'll make money regardless of how bad they are. Who in the over 60 crowd wouldn't even now pay to to see an Animal House reunion movie? But like most of these, it would suck.

Movies based on great books like TT don't count for me.  Didn't care for Shrek 2 but yes TS2 was good.

Jaws 2 is alright. It helps that Roy Scheider is in it, and John Williams score is quite good.

 

3-D & The Revenge are hideous.

naked gun 2 1/2 as well as airplane 2

Airplane 2 is funny. No, it's not as good as the original movie, but it was great to see a lot of the original cast members return.

 

Lloyd Bridges in particular is good in the sequel, and everything involving William Shatner is hilarious.

Shrek, Shrek 2 and Shrek 4 are good movies

In Shrek 3 everything about "Artie" especially the high school was bad so I think Shrek 4 is improvement IMO.

Neither Justin Timberlake as Arthur "Artie" Pendragon or Eric Idle as Merlin provided much to film.

Toy Story 2 & Toy Story 3 are excellent sequels.

Clerks 2 was brutal.

 

Teen Wolf Too was also no good.

 

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

Clerks 2 is in my top 10 movies.

 

I disagree sir.

Creed is good.

 

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

 

Super Troopers 2 is a disgrace. 

 

Bad Santa 2 probably worst sequel I've seen.

Smokey and the Bandit II and III.  Awful.  All Sharknado sequels.

As far as great sequels are concerned, "Aliens" beats "Alien".

Disagree completely.

 

Yeah, "Aliens" is action packed and has a lot of fun lines. "Game over, man! Game over!"

 

"Alien" is a spectacular thriller, and is far more intense.

They're both great but in different ways.
