No Right Answer: Most Insulting Movie Sequel

[Techno Squidgy]

"..I'd like them to include Star Wars in that..."

However, I know, you know, they know, Disney knows, the world knows, we ALL know, that we'll be in that cinema the day Star Wars VII opens. and VIII. and IX. And that's why they're making more Star Wars. Because as much as you might say you don't want it, as much as you might truly and honestly believe that Star Wars doesn't need a Sequel trilogy, you know that you HAVE to see it. because it might be good.

This may be a long shot but who here has seen Class of 1984? An even longer shot Class of 1999?

The first was teen crime exploitation at it's best with just the right amount of 80's flair. Class of 1999 however lacked everything that made the original charming.

Kyle could have had it, but you picked the wrong Transformers sequel.

Michael Bay's first Transformers is the worst sequel ever, because it's following THIS :

You guys needed to dig deeper on this - there's a lot of good suggestions here - or how about Wizard of Oz vs. Return to Oz? Did you SEE how creepy and wrong that second movie was?!

I mostly remember a hall of disembodied heads and a flying bed with a talking moose's head. A lot of severed heads for a kids movie. I remember Neverending Story 2 being in that same vein of creepy WTFness.

But yes, there's a whole world of more insulting sequels; the first ones that popped into my head were The Odd Couple 2, American Psycho 2(not completely unentertaining in its way but there was no reason for it to be American Psycho), and as others pointed out, Highlander 2. Compared to those, Indy 4 & Transformers 2 weren't bad at all. I actually liked Transformers 2 more than 1; it was basically the same thing except you could see what the hell was going on when the robots were fighting. I know Transformers 2 started slow but 1 didn't exactly start like Saving Private Bumblebee or anything. Even Indy 4 wasn't far off from what I expected.

I would have picked the other franchise that has a 4th film in a trilogy. Pirates of the Caribbean. The forth movie ruined the franchise.

For me the worst was Boondock saints 2. Tried so desperately to be its predecessor but fell short in so many ways. The jokes seemed stale, the characters no longer loveable. I will pretend it doesn't exist because, in my opinion, it is so bad it even ruined the first one for me.

Way high severed head ratio for a child's movie - the hallways of screaming heads scene is positively haunting. The Wheelers?! On my honor those things creeped me off of ever roller skating or roller blading I think, subconsciously I just couldn't ever see those skates without seeing those guys - and the whipping them pulling the witches sleigh thing? Ugh. The whole movie is one giant creep fest.
