Akito HirataWorst Sequels Ever!!
April 28th 2008 07:21
Some movies are so great that they spawn sequels, to further the story, characters or quite simply to rake in the moolah, but when is enough enough, I thought I would compile a list of the worst (trashiest, Crapo) sequels ever.
In no particular order:
* Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights
It was a travesty that a sequel was made to sully the bad name of the Dirty Dancing franchise. Where was the ‘Dirty Dancing’ in Havana Nights or any dancing for that matter? The coming of age story was as painful as a doco about grass.
* I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
Like most people I spend my summers murdering and burying fishermen, and having them come after me, it’s really quite a nuisance.
While its predecessor did not win any Oscars, it was at least worth its admission price, and offered some general scares, my dog knew what was going to happen in the second film, and by far the scariest thing in the sequel was Jennifer Love Hewitts singing. Worst decision ever killing SMG and Ryan Phillippe.
* Batman and Robin
The films biggest setback is Mr George Clooney as Batman/ Bruce Wayne who I find as charming as Mike Meyers in his Austin Powers getup. To this day my favourite Batmen have been Val Kilmer and Christian Bale, but I don’t even think either actor could have saved the pitiful ‘Batman and Robin’, it smells from miles away.
Batman: “But why would Ivy be helping Freeze?” Robin: “Well she's definitely evil” ………..hmm you don’t say.
* Scary Movie 2
The first was funny, the 3rd mildly funny I never saw the rest. The second film in the Scary Movie franchise went beyond unfunny and bordered on lunacy. Absolute (pardon my French) SHIT!! Any movie with Tori Spelling in the billing is a big tip off as to the trash your about to witness. (and for that matter same goes with Carmen Electra, once you see her name in the credits you know the exact type of porno, I mean movie your about to see i.e. Meet the Spartans, and any other generic teen movie where she flashes her tata’s.)
*Scream 2 and 3
The only saving grace for the second installment of the Scream Trilogy was SMG yet another run of the mill slasher drama, Im surprised there hasn’t been a Scream 4 where the dudes dog from the first film comes to murder Sidney, wouldn’t that be original?
Scream 3, well ill play nice and just say it was crap.
*The Godfather III
I actually have to say that the third Godfather has my absolute favourite scene from all the three films; I loved the steps scene, where Sofia Coppola was punished for her bad acting. The music, the acting, Andy Garcia’s hair, everything!!. Everybody else on the other hand calls The Godfather III a travesty to its predecessors and rightly so, from the uncharacteristic behavior of Michael Corleone, to the kissing cousins in the famous gnocchi scene which is likened to the famous spinning wheel/pottery scene from Ghost, I won’t even get into the dialogue.
* Shrek the third
Quite simply a big disappointment after the first two hilarious films, while there were some funny lines/moments, the story felt contrived and overall very weak.
*Speed 2
Nuff said!!!!!
And your Worst Sequels?
