What is the biggest drop-off in quality a sequel has ever had, compared to the immediate previous film?

>>212123462 (OP)
Who is this stunning beauty??

>>212123462 (OP)
Jarhead

A Nightmare on Elm Street 1 to 2

>>212123462 (OP)
Exorcist 2. The first one set box-office records, and was a major Oscar contender, and then Exorcist 2 came along and was immediately pulled from theaters for re-editing after it got such a negative reaction.

>>212125582
Something or other about crickets.

>>212125314
Radiant.

>>212123462 (OP)
Well, it seems Fall 2 won't have Grace Caroline Curvy, so there's that.

>>212125314
>that suppleness in the last shot

>>212125706
Wasn't she confirmed for returning? Somehow winding up on another tall thing.

Probably this. Jurassic World 2 was like a 4/10. This was a -4/10.

>>212125707
Outside Captain Marvel 2 has there been a bigger financial drop off for. sequel

Sinister 1 to 2 was pretty rough

>>212125707
This one

Thor Love & Thunder

>>212125771
I got a tall thing for her to end up on

Donnie Darko 2

>>212125771
Yes, but according to Insta, filming has came and went (in Thailand apparently) and Grace was nowhere to be found. Harriet Slater was there, though.

>>212127191
is it debt?

>>212127371
That's Sdarko to you

Isn't she in Fall 3? They planned 2. Sad if not.

>>212125893
damn
wall street 2: money never sleeps was cringe, not terrible, but shia in a sequel is death

>>212125893

Well, the tagline sure is accurate.

Joker: Folie à Deux

>>212123462 (OP)
Sin City 2 hurt to watch.

>>212130005
more like Sin SHITTY POO

Soon to be new contender

Where was he vacationing this time?

>>212123800
blew my mind when i found out jarhead had not just a sequel, but several. where did they even go with it? the first movie was based on a memoir of the same name, and they covered everything already.

>>212123462 (OP)
Bring it On 2

These two aren't the worst in the thread, but they deserve a mention:
Pulse (2006) was a cool, moody horror movie about phone ghosts.
Pulse 2 was moodcore in the horror arc bullshit.
>What if, like... a person just died all the sudden and fell on their and they had to walk around them? Woah... horror mood...
It was fucking garbage. Like they didn't even use a script, just a bunch of 'what if' scenes.
Smoking Aces was mediocre to begin with but the sequel was straight up garbage. The director couldn't even remember whether the movie should be in the roarin 20's or in current day.

>>212131562
They became generic war action films full of explosions and shootouts. Despite Jarhead the film being about how tedious and mindnumbing 90% of active deployment is.

Final Destination 3 to The Final Destination

>>212132096
in 3D!!!!!

>>212128726
>>212127386
Perhaps, but they have to finish and release Fall 2 first.

>>212125314
soft

Men in Black II was pretty bad. It's the worst type of sequel, the type that just undoes everything that happened in the previous movie. Kay has his happy ending taken away from him, Jay goes back to acting like a rookie, Elle doesn't even show up and gets written out in a quick throwaway line.

>>212123738

I didn't even think of it, I try that hard to keep it out of my mind completely.

>10/10 to 9/10 is a massive drop in quality

>>212123462 (OP)
How the fuck did nobody mentioned pic related yet? Literally so fucking bad it outright killed an IP that was going strong for nearly half a century.

>>212138105
Good candidate. I still think Highlander 2 is a more severe drop-off because it took most of what was established by the first film and just threw it out the window. MK Annihilation wasn't quite so disrespectful of its predecessor, although it's terrible in almost every other way. I did appreciate the Sonia mud wrestling scene though

>>212138266
I ctrl+f'd for highlander as soon as i entered the thread

>>212138224
I kind of doesn't feel like a proper sequel because it was made so long after the movie it's a follow-up to and there were three other movies in between the first trilogy and the sequel trilogy.

Now that I think about it, has any other franchise sandwiched multiple prequels between sequels? That's fucking weird, right?

>>212138321

Ugly bogged lips

>>212128317
No.

>>212125706
Fall 2 could have just been her taking a shower, sitting by a pool, and taking a nap for 90 minutes and it would make more money than whatever they’re actually making will.

Generic direct to video action/explosions trash. Which is insane as the first an autobiography about a guy who went to war and did nothing and never saw combat.

Any shit that was supposed to be a standalone movie but got slapped with the sequel label to coattail the success of the original
Example: american psycho 2

>>212123462 (OP)
Pirates of the Caribbean

>>212123738
So much better than the first movie, pleb

>>212130005
At least we got some Eva Green titties though.

>>212123785
Lana Rhodes, before getting bogged.

>>212130005
I don’t even know how it was fucked up so badly. They had the comics to follow. They had their visual formula. It should have been an easy smash hit.

>>212128369
I loved that. llmovie

>>212141035
I heard that it was because they wanted to save the best comics for the third one
and because Frank Miller was sick, so they made him write new stories for the pay or something

>>212141112
that was pretty entertaining

>>212128369
scarier than the first one

>>212141167
>the third one
Whomp whomp

>>212141194
Have you watched the series? Awfully written, awfully acted, but I was kind of disappointed when it was cancelled.

>>212123462 (OP)
A Simple Favor.

>>212123462 (OP)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, which was made even worse by the fact it had the same director and came out more than a decade after the original and THAT was what he came up with.

The Hobbit from LOTR

>>212138224
>it outright killed
it's literally the highest grossing domestic film of all time

>>212138487
You utter retard

>>212123462 (OP)
Easily this. I'm sure there's others but this was what popped into my head immediately.

Arcane s1 vs s2

Heroes Season 2

>>212125582
Exorcist 2 is great. Absolute kino if you will. At the time movie goers and "critics" expected to see another Exorcist but were treated to a completely different movie and this confused and angered them. So they lashed out.

>>212143403
It's fuckin shit bro

>>212143403
Are you thinking about 3? Exorcist 2 is fucking awful, anon.

>>212138487
bruh you don't know what bogged lips look like

neverending story 2, pretty odd the sequl got the money and prodution values but failed in every aspect compared to the beloved original, but yet they made a third

>>212125706
They should just have her fall on those fat tits and just bounce back on her feet anticlimactically. That would be a good ending.

>>212143420
Thanks for confirming. Enjoy barking with the pack.
>>212143447
Exorcist 3 is okay. A paint by the numbers Hollwood late 80's jump scare flick. It's fine for what it is.

>>212140728
And speaking of bad sequels with Eva Green’s titties…

>>212138487
Dingus

No one mentioned Caddyshack?

>>212143076
Came here to post this

>>212145872
They did.

Why did this even happen?

>>212146524
>no Del Toro
No point.

Smokey II is just a character assassination

>>212146524
Boyega thought he was totally a leading man and producer because The Force Awakens was a megahit. The only lasting impact of this film was introducing us to Cailee.

>>212146391
Well, they didn't make it searchable, so I didn't see it at the time.

>>212125438
OK, Smellvin.

The Dark Knight Rises

>>212123738
cool poster ngl, the 90s was truly the golden age of media

There's shitloads of terrible cash grab sequels that have absolutely nothing to do with the original one aside from the name.

I assume because who the fuck actually watches those.

>>212146524
>>212146540

they had the script for that movie from Guillermo ( or he helped,?)
and then Guillermo left to do shape of water
so boyega took it upon himself to produce

>>212143076
I had no idea this even happened.

>>212149482
it was aco completely different script movie that got reworked to be a sequel.
it had nothing to do with the first one

>>212149285
>have no Del Toro directing
>film has terrible shonen anime-inspired action with none of the sense of scale from the first film

>>212149617
Many such cases. Such as...almost every single Die Hard sequel. They all started as unrelated works reworked into Die Hard sequels. Die Hard 2 is adapted from an unrelated novel, 58 Minutes, Die Hard with a Vengeance started as an unrelated thriller script titled Simon Says, Live Free or Die Hard started as an unrelated action script titled WW3.com. A Good Day to Die Hard seems to have been the only one to start life as a Die Hard sequel. There were actual intended Die Hard sequels developed but never made.

>>212150706
>Die Hard 2 is adapted from an unrelated novel
Technically yeah but it only got turned into a movie because they wanted to make a Die Hard sequel and set out to find a book that would work as a good basis.

>>212143403
This so much this. Nobody hated Exorcist 2 until the Plinkett Reviews brainwashed them.

>>212143076
I think this is the first poster where Mila does not look like Liz Gillies to me.

>>212151662
dumb bait

>>212149312
The first movie wasn't any good either.

>>212151662
lol have an upvote, fellow redditor.

>>212138645
For me it was Jarhead 3: The Siege - Extra Explosive Cut

>>212125706
Fall? More like Drop.

If you just had the ones who survived it would have to be

“The Magnificent Seven Part II: The Magnificent Three”

>>212147997
This almost doesn't belong in the thread because no-one knows it exists.
