Sequels that should never have been made - APhew - 01-12-2005
I loved "Temple of Doom" and still do. I could go on and list a thousand reasons, but fans of Indy are split right down the middle with this movie. It's a love/hate thing and there is no bringing anyone over to the other side. Believe me, I've tried.
Sequels that should have never been made:
Cube 2: Hypercube
Escape from L.A.
The Batman movies with Kilmer and Clooney
The Hills Have Eyes 2 (or maybe it's Part 2)
Caddyshack 2

Please God, erase that one from existence...
License To Kill is my favourite Bond movie. Yeah, the bad guy wasn't memorable, but Bond on a mission of revenge, without the backup or legality of HMSS, finally a Bond with character!
Fair to say I'm not really a Bond fan, but this one I'd buy.

PS The Bond girl with short hair was a bit of a hotty too

Do these have to be "2"s? Because if not I nominate Alien 3 and 4. But only since someone else already nominated Highlander 2: The Sickening (my least favorite movie of all time).

How about the 1982 "Trail of the Pink Panther," starring Peter Sellers....who died in 1980!

I liked Indian Jones 2 mucho!
But, I agree that most part 2 movies blow chunks...
E.g. Matrix 2, and RoboCop II.
But, here are a couple I think were as good if not better than the first:
Aliens (my alltime favorite sequel!)
T2
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Empire Strikes Back
Two Towers

I liked X-Men 2 and Shrek 2, but I don't really think they are better than the originals.
I like Terminator far more than the sequel, though the sequel is pretty darn good.
You forgot Spider-Man 2 which, IMHO, is better than the first.

Kenji Wrote:City Slickers2....(I was disappointed to Jack Palance. He was good role in first one.)
Sister Act2....(Woopie Goldberg is school teacher? C'mon! Gimme a break)
Speed2.....(I couldn't feel the speed)
Starship Troopers 2.....(I can't say anything. Totally worst!)
I have to take issue with Starship Troopers 2. It was a complete departure from the first one, but I thought that was a good thing in how they handled it. My only complaint was it was a little reminiscent of The Thing (okay, a lot), but judging it on the sole merits of an action movie, it did the trick. I hated the first Sister Act, so in my opinion it's which one is worse.
Sequels that should never have been made - sublime1983 - 01-12-2005
Liked both Ghost Busters.
Didn't like any of the Xman or Spider Man movies.
I loved the Die Hard trilogy, but the second was the weakest.
The Princess Diaries 2, didn't see either, but was there a need for a second? Same goes with Dirty Dancing Havana Nights, Legally Blonde 2, and Scooby-Doo 2.
Star Wars II, the lead character was a little...different for my liking.
Barbershop 2, just sucked. I was told by a black friend that you had to be black to enjoy it. What a bunch of crap.
Every Jaws movie after the first.
Rocky 5
Both the Matrix sequels.
Predator 2, although I liked it, they could have done a hell of a lot better than that. I see there is a special edition out now, might have to get it just because I want everything that has to do with predator and aliens, dvd related.
Scary Movie collection sucked.
All the Home Alones after two. I think they are up to 26 now.
Bad Boys II, didn't like it.
Blade II could have been way better.
A lot of the Freddie, Jason and Myers movies sucked past the first one.
Tomb Raider 2
I'm going to end it there.
