What films do you think should NOT have had sequels?

[Mikey]

I never could get into Conan

I also never liked the one with the castle that keeps disappearing (I forgot the title)

KRULL it is really bad (disney i think) star wars meets ivanhoe

[jds1911a1]

And this entry will likely get me banned from the boards, but Lord of the Rings was too much. I have never managed to stay awake all the way through the first one yet; there is no way I could endure the second one.

Alright, let the bashing begin.

I am with you. I read all the Tolken books, actually liked the animated stuff from Rankin Bass in the 70's and early 80's and was a huge Dungeons and Dragons player

I could barely get through the first the ring film (fell asleep twice). never wathced the others

I know many love them. I think the effects did a great job creating the visuals but not for me. But then I hated matrix too which is also a "masterpiece" of sci fi to many

Conan the Barbarian was great stuff. ( the arnie one )

Conan the Destroyer was not as good but still fun.

Red Sonja. No Comment. No i will comment, possibly the worst film i ever saw.

LOL. I will put Red Sonja right up there with He-Man for bad movies.

Krull wasn't a Disney movie, although I guess it does have that kind of vibe to it in places. With the budget they had and the talented production designers, that movie could have been so much better.

The LOTR adaptations are great, IMHO.
As a fan of the book, I was really impressed with the way Peter Jackson handled those movies.
A very tough book to adapt to the screen, and he pulled it off with great success.

Red Sonja. No Comment. No i will comment, possibly the worst film i ever saw.

Come on, it's not that bad! It has some nice matte paintings!


The Beastmaster, The Sword and the Sorcerer, Dragonslayer, the Conan movies, Excalibur, Deathstalker, Hawk the Slayer... I love all those 80s sword & sorcery flicks!

I never could get into Willow though... that was a misfire.

Conan the Barbarian was so bad it was kind of good, but a sequel was uncalled for, and a remake was out of line altogether.

The first Conan was a great sword and sorcery movie.
But it sucked as a Conan film. Nothing like the source material.
Much like the movie I, Robot was nothing like Asimov's classic book.

The sequel [shudder] was just plain bad.

The new movie is not a remake. They weren't re-doing the first movie.
They were going back to the source material and doing something closer to it.
They didn't nail it. But they did better than the Arnie movie ever did.


Now, as to sequels that should have never been made.
How about Adam's Family Values [shudder]

Teen Wolf - The first was fun, cheesy but fun.

Clerks 2 - Loved the first one more than I can stress and really enjoyed the animated series but the official celluloid sequel showed all too well that Kevin Smith is very far removed from his nights working at the Quik stop

IP Man 2 - the first was a great martial arts / docudrama flick. Made the guy larger than life. The second took away from the legend.

Men In Black 2 - I enjoy it but the sequel is so contrived it takes away from the characters history and personalities that were established in the first one.

Jurassic Park- One was plenty.

I like JP 2 and 3 ... but then I was rooting for the dinosaurs so what makes them work is people get eaten much sooner

And of course,they have to do a MiB 3. 2's not enough I guess.

Saw. I really didnt see much of a point to the first one, besides the four or so sequels. Just gets pointless....
Final Destination. Same old same old....

[stevenlore]

Technically LOTR is one book and the 3 films should be cinsidered as one movie.

As for sequels that shouldn't have been made: Cars 2, King Kong Lives, and Star Trek.

all kids movies
harry potter
Fools Gold did not have a sequel but fools gold burned my eyes out NO SEQUEL!

They all took nothing to make

same thing for FD

I almost walked out of that before the beginning credits were finished, but stayed as a test of my mettle. It was like a game of chicken, with my threshold for having my time wasted versus Smith's uninspired (not exactly true, it's obvious it was heavily influenced by The 40 Year Old Vigin [Bollywood numbers, donkey show references]) hackery. The characters of Jay and Bob had went from the fresh voices of the first film to becoming caricatures of themselves. Smith inarguably had raw talent when he started, but it's like he started writing solely for his groupies.
