so i went to see the two towers and every preview is for a (insert movie title here) 2. I mean, fast and the furious 2, matrix 2, dumb and dumberer (prequel), terminator 3 (or whatever number they're on), legally blond 2, etc. what happened to originality?

post your thoughts.

feel free to post any upcoming sequels or prequels i forgot.

Gods and Generals is gonna be a phat movie. It's a prequal to Gettysburg. I don't know how many people here like those types of movies, but I thought Gettysburg was phat.

they crossed the line with Cinderella 2 man, that was just sick.

The Matrix sequels i WANT to see, and not all movie sequels are dumb. but dumb and dumberer, final destination 2, come one, do we really need them? nope

Generally speaking, sequels are uncalled for. The few cases where there are good sequels usually involve the stories being written together. For example, Matrix was not written to be a one movie deal. Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions were known and titled when Matrix was released.

I forgot to add this thought: some sequels aren't really sequels. None of the James Bond movies were actually sequels, just more stories focused around 007 (and Sean Connery is a better bond than Pierce Brosnan).

The thing that kills me iswhen they make sequels to really shitty movies...

dude Gods and Generals was the gayest movie i have ever seen. First of all it was byist twords the south. Second it was four hours long. Thirdly it had parts that wear realy pointles (i.e. the part were the guy is smoking the pipe and the other guy is drinking coffee and they look at each other and dont say n e thing for five min.) it was a gay movie.

woah. congrats on digging this up. anyway, i'm actually looking forward to seeing the second matrix.

some sequels are good, most are bad, especially when they're made a few years after the original, like inspector gadget 2...it's not even the original cast. those are the worst sequels, when they don't even use the original cast. and all those new disney cartoon sequels like cinderella 2 and peter pan 2-the originals came out like 50 yrs. ago, they're classics..their great legacy is being ruined by these sequels 50 yrs. later

 
shit, dumb and dumberer is gonna blow goat balls. its not the farrely brothers and its not the same comedy, it sounds like some gay rip-off of beavis and butthead.

The Cameron Crowe of the ski industry, just watch...
 
oh yeah, i might be a little biased on that too cause a friend of mine actually got super far in auditions for young harry's part but didnt get. Screw yous guys! your gonna be kickin yourselves when 'meekus' gets his own disney channel show!!! hahhaha

spider mans gonna have a sequel,not with toby mcguire this time,i believe its gonna be jake gyllenhall (bubble boy, donnie darko) and i think someone is replacing kristen but i dont remember who,i had heard julia roberts

friend: You want a piece of garlic bread?

me: no thanks,im not a vampire.
 
they made a charolette's Web 2 and a Sleeping Beauty 2...... damn and i luved that sleeping beauty

hoked on foniks wurked fur me. kant u tel?

 
the matrix will be a trilogy and it is neccessary and it will be sweet. T3 is gay and JasonX is terrible. Dumb n Dumberer is also neccessary.

t3 wont be that bad,its gonna be a chick that comes and the terminator has to kill her and the chick is chyna

Godfather 2 is the best sequel ever made. It might even be better than the original.

I really like these high speed 6 man quads
 
word on the street is that they're shooting Die Hard 4 and I heard something on tv about a new rocky, absolutely ridiculous

 
yeah, as long as die hardest will be directed by john, then it has a shot. Rocky 6 will not happen...but i did hear a rumour about rambo 4, and he fights bin laden or something.

yeah there r movies that can just be killed because of sequles (cant spell) but movies that were made to have them like lotr and matrix i dont mind :P

i live in the eastcoast i dont mind a few ass brusies

 
yes, agreed. there's a difference between series (i.e. lotr, star wars, matrix, etc) which were meant to have multiple parts and movies that just have sequels tacked onto them to make money (i.e. usually any title ending in ''2'' or ''3''). the object of the thread was to point out the latter.
