I can't believe we got so many damned Hunger Games movies.

No idea why so many garbage horror movies end up with franchises. Insidious, Annabelle, Paranormal Activity etc.

Same with action films aimed at teens like Maze Runner, Divergent

Those were based on books, So course they were going to adapt them.

The Bayformers.


Only good one was the first. Kept getting progressively worse each movie, yet made a ton of money. For some reason.

The first Insidious was good.

lI can't believe thematically speaking we got a third Terminator and beyond tbh, I get the cash grab and all and that's why any and all sequels mentioned here will have been made but cmon... also ion my list:

Trainspotting
Dumb and Dumber
Lion King
The Hangover
Home Alone


and those are just off the dome there are many many more out there that were made for a quick buck with no thought towards quality

When did Lion King get a sequel? OP discounted direct video.

Unless you mean the 2019 one.

I like the first two, and I like Bumblebee. The rest can **** all the way off, though.

Second one was watchable compared to the rest, just not as good as the first one imo.


Bumblebee I don't count as a Bayformer movie. I think Bay had a consulting role, but the director was Travis Knight.

No idea how I made that mistake. Or if I even did, and the board didn't glitch out.

1st half was. Up until the dinner table scare. Turned complete shite after that.

laughing out loud

Honestly, I can't tell you a thing about the plot of the second movie. But I absolutely love that scene when Prime beats the living piss out of a whole bunch of Decepticons single-handed.

True, I just included it because it was transformers.

Bloodrayne.

Transformers.

Revenge of the Living Dead (seriously, one was enough).

Caddyshack

Comedies should rarely get sequels

Anchorman
Zoolander
Hangover
Caddyshack
Major League
Coming to America which is coming soon

BackFire
Probably John Wick. I love the movies but the most impressive thing about them is that they were able to take a relatively straight forward revenge action movie and turn it into one of the most consistent film series currently on the market. I can't imagine the filmmakers expected to be making sequels to that movie several years down the road.

Mad Max. I've grown to appreciate the original over time, but upon initial viewing I couldn't believe it spawned the sequels that it did (I saw parts 2 and 3 before the original).

Also, I'll put The Matrix on here. The first movie's ending is one of the best in film history period, with Neo now able to fly and leaving it up to the viewer to imagine he and the humans continuing quest to stop the machines. Like the turning point in a war with one side gaining some serious momentum and a Superman-like advantage.

While I liked both the sequels as both technical marvels and storytelling efforts (The Animatrix helped flesh out the world-building substantially as well), I wouldn't have thought as a kid in 1999 that I'd be seeing not one but TWO Matrix sequels just four years later.

Indiana Jones.


Because the second movie was objectively awful. Tried watching it recently, and just could not do it.

Highlander, the sequels add nothing and yet sequels, tv and cartoons. Why? Money!

Were they good movies? No, but I'm glad they exist.

I'll still watch The Phantom Menace over and over for that matter.
