Which movies and games have been ruined by sequels?
The two movies that stick out in my mind are:
-The Matrix (Ruined by 'Reloaded' and more so 'Revolutions')
-The Godfather (Ruined By 'The Godfather 3')

What do you guys think?

George Lucas is the lord of Franchise-acide. Star Wars is still in its death-throes, and Indiana Jones IV, while not a bad movie in itself, suffered the wrath of disappointed fans worldwide.

It is honestly down to personal opinion for a lot of sequels.

However, *almost* every Disney sequel ever made has pretty much ruined each of Disney's classic films.

Cinderella 2, Bambie 2, Hunchback 2, Pocahontas 2, little mermaid 2, ect. There was no need for them at ALL.

* = Edit.

Pirates of the Caribbean.

I actually kinda liked the second one, but not nearly as much as the first. And the third one was just awful imho.

Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.

The Tim Burton ones were great (Yes, I liked Batman Returns). The Joel S. ones are the reason the whole thing had to be rebooted.

It was good... but not as good as the first. And I think he was referring to Godfather 3, though I could be wrong.

To be completely honest with you, I had no idea there were even sequels to any of those movies :p

Can't agree on that one. The lion king 2 was pretty good. I still get a kick out of it :p
I mean c'mon Disney films all work on two levels; the level which kids find funny, and the level which give the parents something to enjoy...if you go back and watch your childhood Disney movies, they are pretty funny.

i think he may be refering to the thrid movie, if hes refering to the second though then i just have to say what the fuck is he on? part 2 was a lot better than part 1, and seeing how good part 1 was thats saying something.

anyway, deus ex. invisible war sucked ass, thanks mostly to harvey "everything that everyone thought made deus ex awesome actually made it suck" smith.

the last few mega man x games, and most of the newer mm series.

as for movies, the last indana jones movie hands down.

all i can think of for the moment, but god knows there are a lot more.

Both of yours are stupid BTW Frosty. Neither of those had bad sequels.
Well, for me at least, The Godfather 3 was an abomination of the series, and the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies ruined the whole mood. That's my opinion, you can have yours :)

AvP was almost disney style, kindness, 2 races teaming up to eliminate the 3rd species...

Matrix and Godfather?

F*** off.

No offense. But that's kind of like saying Emperor strikes back had ruined A New Hope. Or Temple of Doom ruined Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The original Starwars trilogy was ruined by episode one. For example
Original Trilogy: The Force is a mystical power given off by all living beings that we have learned to master.
Episode 1: You have tiny bugs in your blood? You can move sh*t with your mind.

Scary Movie 4 sucked noodles, they all sucked quite a lot but this takes the trophy.

COD; World at war was a massive disapointment after modern warfare.

I think it was better. But both are awesome for very different reasons.

And repeat with me: "There is no Godfather 3, No Godfather 3, No Godfather 3."

(Godfather 3 is actually a good movie, but it has Godfather on the name and it didnt live up to 1&2.)

Also! To stay more in topic. Bad sequels: Pirates of the Caribbean, way to ruin a awesome movie (The first one) with two sequels which were made just to cash in on its popularity.

I haven't seen that one, although I read that Robin Williams was not in the film. Jafar was an awesome villain, I'll see if the local charity shop has it on Video.

Perhaps the poor Disney sequels was more in the 2000s, when Disney got lazy with cartoons and started the whole Live action pop princess fad. I'll have a look at it with my younger brother who would be able to give me a kid's view of the film as well.
