Movie sequels - Love 'em or hate 'em?

[Inu-yasha]

Ok so as the title says... What do you think of movie sequels?

Meh, I personally HATE sequels to movies...there are only rare occasions when a good sequel is made and usually it's only seen as good because the first one was complete diatrite.

A few examples would be:

Speed 2 - They should have just left Speed alone! I mean, they didn't even have Keanu Reeves play the lead roll! It didn't work at all. @_@''

Beverly Hills Cop 3 - Ok, the second film was pretty damn funny, but the third totally sucked. The storyline was really poor and I felt they'd messed about with the characters personalities a bit too much.

Die Hard with a vengeance – OMG! How could they? They made the main villain Hans Gruber’s brother, how lame and totally cliché is that!? **Shakes her head** It's an insult towards Alan Rickman’s amazing acting skills in the first Die Hard movie. Ok, so he's not so good at the German accent, but damn, he's one amazing actor. ^^

Alien Resurrection – GAH! Alien is meant to be a T-R-I-L-O-G-Y, so what do they do? They make another film… I mean, I think it totally destroyed it, Ripley’s dead leave her that way! I didn’t find it scary or suspenseful at ALL. A major disappointment for me.

Scream 2 & 3 - Actually, who am I kidding? I thought they all sucked.... sorry, I find watching Disney is more scary then any of those movies...

...And the list goes on, I think they usually just make a sequel to a movie to milk it, it's totally wrong.

Feel free to add any decent or far from decent movie sequels you can think of. ^_~

(And films like "Lord of the rings" don't count! It's just split into three parts, well technically six but nvm. )

Even i have to agree beause when you see a movie and the next movie dont show the same people it totaly loseses the plot and is basicly totaly different and if has nothing to really do with the film in some caces. Ya know

I think a few sequels are worth watching. Such as Final Destination 2, I loved both of them, American Pie 2 was very funny, I liked Scary Movie 2 and blade 2 was totally awesome. Terminator 2 was good, I liked it better than the first one. Charlies Angels Full throttle was pretty good, and Creepshow 2, for ones that suck, anything after the first nightmare on elm street sucked, anything after friday the 13th sucked (to me the first one sucked, but the rest sucked more) nothing will beat the original halloween, damn them for halloween ressurection. childs play, the first one was best, bride of chuckie sucked...and so on and so forth..

Yeh I'm agreeing with everyone here so far. Some sequels are good others totally sucked!! I think in some ways American pie 2 was better than the original, I haven't seen 3 yet so I can't judge.

The scream trilogy is only considered a classic when you're like 13, however the 1st one was quite good, two was ok(ish), but 3 was really scrapping the barrel for ideas, the killer was sydney's secret half brother!!! Come on how lame is that!! Same rule for Die hard as well.
