I will admit im biased since a lot of the scenes for D3 were shot at my HS. The simple fact that Iceland has no true hockey base and were the "Bad-ass" team for D2 just kinda took it out of me


Im gonna go ahead and list

Alien vs. Predator 1 and 2, since they are both technically sequals to Alien and Predator movies; either way they were both disappointments and honestly had to have been written by a 8th grader on crack

Did anyone actually like "Matrix Reloaded" it was ok but not as good as the first one in my opinion


Spiderman 3 was below par in my opinion

Superman Returns = terrible

"Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin" were just brutal

Blade 2 was bad


Blade 3 is quite possibly the worst movie ever made... Blind woman is in charge of watching the security cameras...

The Substitute 2-4 all went straight to Cinemax and did not even feature the same people as the first one. Not that the first one was very good, but 2-4 were just horrible.

I also got a chuckle that Bring It On 4 came out on DVD recently since I didn't even know there was a 2 or a 3.

Tremors, on the otherhand, has held its awesomeness with each new release.

My wife has asked me to contribute Star Trek V: the Enterprise flies to the edge of the universe and meets God. But whose fault is it that it was so awful?

William Shatner starred in it. But maybe it was the writer's fault. Oh, Shatner wrote it, too? Oh, well, maybe it was the director's fault. Shatner, too, huh? Well, maybe it was his fault. :D

Perhaps Sonny needed to narrow our definition here a little? There have been some truly awful sequels made to cash in quickly on the critical and box-office success of a GOOD, quality original film. But when a terrible movie is sequeled, how can anybody expect Part II to be anything but crap, also? There is an important difference, at least IMHO...

Where does "Rocky IV" fit in to the mix? Minus the monologue Stallone bellows at the end, I think that is a pretty legit double-sequel?

How about "Batman Begins?" Pretty good flick too, but where does that rank? Triple Sequel? Or an original? I'm anticipating "The Dark Knight" might just be better than "Batman Begins."

Matrix 2 was pretty bad, but not as bad as the 3rd.

Sandlot 2, never saw it, but I just don't know how you could ever make a sequel to that with totally new kids. Had to be bad.

and hellboy 2 looks just stupid too

What about another "criminal" Hollywood trend -- remaking good films while not improving on the orginal in the slightest?

In this category I would include the recent remakes of "Alfie" (awful) and "Psycho" (gawd-awful). At least Tim Burton had the imagination to re-make "Planet of the Apes" into something truly new, rather than just the same film with better special-effects.

What are some of the other worst re-makes? Best?

PS I have heard one of my all-time favorite films -- "The Stunt Man" -- is being re-made. I hate it already without seeing it, because nobody else can play Eli the mad director except for Peter O'Toole!

LOL Amen to that, the Sandlot was perfect, why try and and tweak it into something new? And the kids in the first one were only entertaining at that age, with new kids it just sucks.

Also someone said Rambo: First Blood Part 2 was bad on here... Well clearly someone liked it because the recent Rambo release is basically an identical retread to the first Rambo sequel.

Exploding tip arrows maybe the coolest movie thing ever. Will never get old.
