[Cinemaman]

I wouldn't say that Greamlins 2 was good sequel, the same with Kill Bill 2.

 

[jaydawg]

MI:III was average at best. Nothing compared to the original. Thought Alien was the best in the series. And dont forget the Matrix sequels for worst sequels ever.

 

[Cinemaman]

My TOP5 is:

1. The Godfather, part II
2. Termiantor 2
3. The Empire Strikes Back
4. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
5. Aliens

 

[Octoberist]

Gremlins 2 is HANDS DOWN a awesome sequel. It was so..in your face that I loved it. The Sinatra Gremlin. The Transgender Gremlin. The Batman Gremlin. Hulk Hogan.

It was AWESOME.

BTW, I didn't think Ghostbusters 2 was that bad.

BEST.

1. The Emipre Strikes Back
2. The Godfather Part II
3. Terminator 2
4. Evil Dead 2 (I love Army of Darkness too..)
5. The Good the bad and the ugly
6. Back to the Future II
7. X2
8. Spider-Man 2
9. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (I love it)
10. Gremlins 2
11. Toy Story 2.

WORST.

1. Star Wars: Episode 1
2. Batman and Robin
3. Carrie 2
4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3
5. Superman 3/4
6. X3 (Ouch...my opinion)
7. All of the Disney straight to DVD sequels (Bambi 2: The Quickening)
8. Highlander 2: The Quickening
9. Be Cool (Awful)
10. Robocop 3

MI:III was average at best. Nothing compared to the original. Thought Alien was the best in the series. And dont forget the Matrix sequels for worst sequels ever.

Christmas Vacation is a classic.......

I forgot to put down Son of the Mask and Dumb and Dumberer (Makes no sense..it's a prequel. SO does that mean that they're smarter when they're adults?)

I think they've remained at the same level of smartness -or rather, stupidity- since then.

Superman III
Superman IV (I got bored after 20 minutes)
The Two Jakes (haven't seen it, nor have I seen Chinatown, but the premise sounds very half assed)

 

[The Apatow Crew]

GHOSTBUSTERS II isn't horrible.

 

[The Chairman]

GHOSTBUSTERS II isn't horrible.

No, but it pales in comparison to the original.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

No, but it pales in comparison to the original.

I like it. probably a little more than the first.

btw I WANT a GB3 DAMNIT!

 

[The Chairman]

I like it. probably a little more than the first.

Impossible.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Impossible.

No It's True. It's Damn True.

 

[The Chairman]

No It's True. It's Damn True.

The first one is one of the best movies ever, the second one, which I've never seen in its entirety, pisses on it.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

boo ho. is that all you do p*ss and moan about stuff?

 

[The Chairman]

boo ho. is that all you do p*ss and moan about stuff?

No, I offer my opinions. In my opinion, Ghostbusters II completely slimed (parodn the pun) everything great about the first film. It killed all the originallity. It wss unneccessary IMO.
