Bad films with good sequels?


Is there a sequel that you LOVE...even though you can't stand part one?

reply

i wouldn't say i loved it, but the sequel to 2014's ouija, called ouija origins of evil, is a competent, fun, entertaining horror film, while the original is bland & dull and not worth watching at all imo.

reply

This is a tough one. Most of the time the original is the best of the batch, and then for the original to be bad and the sequel good is quite rare.

Going to roll with Captain America: Winter Soldier. The original was a forgettable average action flick imo while the sequel was outstanding, especially the choreography in the action scenes.

Purge: Election year is better than original Purge. I wouldn't say Purge is bad movie at all, rather average that could be way better given script and actors.

reply

I liked the original better.

reply

I liked the second Purge movie way more than the first.

I hate the first movie. We actually watched that crap in this cinema course I took and the professor went on and on about what was so great about it. No, pal. It sucks.

Star Trek 2 Wrath of Khan. I don't remember the first one at all.

reply

Excellent example tcrum

The first one had a bald lady if I remember correctly (and I probably slept through most of it)

Star Trek 2 had 'KHHHAAAANNNN!'

The real question is, Search for Spock the best of the all?? Hmmm.

I saw a few of them, one had a cueball head woman, one had something to do with whales of all things(!) and one had Shatner hating and trying to bump off Montalban who had the fakest old man pecs you ever saw LOL

That question was a softball😉

Wrath of Khan for the win

I'm nor sure it's a bad film, but I don't care for Evil Dead one bit, but EDII is an absolute masterpiece.

reply

I really enjoyed Deadpool 2 and rated it an 8/10. The first Deadpool was pretty bad. a 5/10.

reply

Mad Max. While the first was interesting at the time, but if you watch it now it was just a low budget low quality movie. Basically just a "demo" for the stunts.

Mad Max II was way better as a movie.

reply

Did it have audio problems? I seem to remember when I saw it on TV the audio was really bad.

reply

I'm not sure.

reply

YES!..THE ROAD WARRIOR IS A SUPERIOR FILM TO MAD MAX.EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.

reply

I agree. Also, Mad Max 2 is on Amazon Prime Video for free right now, so I got the chance to enjoy it for the first time in years. Still a great movie.
