  1. I’d go so far as to say any Home Alone sequel.

    I watched all the "Halloween" sequels in relatively short succession last year, and I gotta admit I don't think any of them are good.

    "H2" gets some love, I believe, and I think there's been a cult following that grew behind "H3", but I didn't like either, and all the rest are pretty lousy too...

    Most that I've seen except The Godfather, Part II and Lethal Weapon 2. The usual retreads, the convoluted storylines, etc., make it difficult to suspend disbelief in many cases. I admire when they do something like Halloween III, which isn't a great film, but they tried something different and I enjoyed the ride.

    I love how they just pretended all the sequels never existed with the last movie.

    Indianna Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    Any of the Paranormal Activity movies after the first one.

    I would have said Blair Witch 2, but the original was equally bad!

    I actually like Crystal Skull better than Temple of Doom, but that's a really low bar, imo.

    I'll even go out on a limb and say that I found Last Crusade pretty overrated. The bottom line is that Spielberg was never able to re-catch that lightning in the bottle that was Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is still in my top 5 favorite movies of all time.

    Harrison Ford just wasn't even trying in this last Indiana Jones movie. Which made it all the more surprising that he was so good (IMO) in the newer Star Wars movies.

    ….plus I thought it jumped the shark a bit when IJ survived that nuclear blast while in that refrigerator.

    I thought the first one was awful, too.

    Katie was the only positive! :love:

    While it was perfectly realistic when he jumped out of a plane on a rubber raft and surviving in Temple of Doom ;)
    Indiana Jones moves are very entertaining but we really shouldn't judge them on logic.

    I can suspend my disbelief with movies with the best of 'em but that shark was just too big......

    The rubber raft was worse than the refrigerator.

    Let's all be honest with each other ...
    The Indiana Jones franchise jumped the shark with ' Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom '
    We all knew 20 minutes into it that it wasn't going to hold a candle to ' Raiders of the Lost Ark '. The female lead was weak , the kid annoying , the plot thin. Harrison Ford tried to make a go of it but...

    I saw BW2 at the time and was disappointed, but watched it again years later and thought it was pretty good taken on it's own merits and not in comparison to the first. I dont think it deserves the hammering it always takes.

    If you're interested in BTTF you should read (or google a summary of) the original script. It's vastly, vastly different from what we eventually got. Very interesting read.

    Spielberg later said he was happy to contribute to popular culture with the expression "they nuked the refrigerator" with the sequel... sort of the movie equivalent of "jumping the shark" from Happy Days...

  24. Slap Shot II. This bland, straight to video sequel makes for passable rainy Sunday afternoon viewing, but its cliche-heavy script draws heavily on the original and lacks the character and energy that made the original a classic. Mainly of interest to see what time has done to the Hansons.

    Andy Smith .....Like a good pinch of snuff......

    I realise that The Magnificent 7 was a remake itself, but they should have stopped there. Love the film, but the rest are poor.
