Which 5 movies do you wish they'd never made sequels for?

[FloatingFatMan]

To complement Warwagon's thread, which movies did you really enjoy the FIRST movie for, but wish they'd never made sequels to?

 

I'll start:

 

• TRON
• The Matrix
• Independence Day
• Predator
• Robocop

 

• Bonus title:  Highlander     Because there can be only one!

 

Of all of those above, I think the one that pi**ed me off the most, was Tron Legacy... I had to wait for 6 months to see that bugger as local theatres were only showing the 3D version, and when I FINALLY got to see it, it was utter trash...   I'd been waiting for more about Flynn since the original in the 80's and we got.... That.

TRON: Legacy is excellent, visually. Weak story line, but looked great.

I'm a massive fan of 50's B movies, so visuals don't really both me...   It's all about the story, and Legacy's story sucked... Especially after the excellent Tron 2.0 game...

Other notable entries

Super Troopers. The first movie was very funny, the second was trying too hard to mimic the first.

Anchor Man. I didn't get past the first 20mins of the 2nd movie.

The Never Ending Story. I love the original.

Aladdin. It didn't need a sequel, or a live action remake. 

Lion King. As above.

Agreed, I think it got silly when the 5th one came out.

 

For me: The Matrix, Crocodile Dundee. There are loads but can't really think of em atm hahaha

the last star wars trilogy 

star trek into darkness 

[adrynalyne]

Highlander.

I think Jurassic Park is the one for me that hasn't been mentioned. The Lost World was unnecessary, or maybe it was just poorly done.

 

Other than that, I agree that Independence Day didn't need the sequel, nor did Jaws or Men in Black - although I will concede that MiB3 was good fun.

 

Part of me wants to say that Blade Runner didn't need a sequel, but I think that what they did ended up being pretty decent. The only issue is that it removed the ambiguity from the original.

I agree with you on most of these except for Predator. The new Pray really redeemed the series for me.
