Bad Sequels

There are a lot of bad sequels out there. Why? This is my theory. If the first movie is good, the film makers figure that if they make another movie everyone who liked the first one will still see the second one even if it gets bad reviews.

The real problem is this: they are right!

Disney takes the most advantage of this fact. I feel like they make seconds of any and every movie and only a select few are any good. Think about it. Pocahontas II? Yeah. That's why we shouldn't go see bad sequels. If it gets bad reviews, don't go.

There are the rare sequels that are actually better than their predecessors. Like Rocky IV was the best one. Bourne Ultimatum may be the best of the three, but that's debatable.

Then there are the sequels that start to get ridiculous. How many Land Before Times are they going to make? And High School Musical III? Hmm...

I agree. If it's not a continuation of an epic story(like Lord of the Rings, Bourne movies) they should probably just forget about making a sequel.
