    OK, most people can agree that when a sequel is made to a good movie, Rarely is it worth your time and money to see. List the movie that was good with the sequel(s) that was GOOD/BAD. Steppman's thread listed ROCKY VI as sucking, a waste of time. ROCKY ***** ROCKYII *** ROCKY III ** ROCKY IV *** ROCKY V * ROCKY VI (didn't see yet, critics claim good I believe)

    ROCKY VI REVIEWS: "Though Stallone directs with little visual inspiration outside the ring sequence, he sticks to the original's up-from-the-streets spirit and rejects the slickness that had crept into the franchise." Robert Koehler Variety The movie -- like its hero -- suffers from a bad case of calcium on the joints. John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Just as he did back in 1976, Rocky--and by extension Stallone himself--is climbing into the ring as a man with something to prove. And for the first time in thirty years, you just might find yourself cheering him on. Ethan Alter Premiere Magazine A certified crowd pleaser. Stallone stayed true to Rocky. He gave Rocky back to us without dolling him up. Victoria Alexander FilmsInReview Stallone has done the near impossible he took a long time dead character, that no one cared about, that he was clearly too old to play and make us care again. It's a shame that this is the last one, but what a way to go. Michelle Alexandria Eclipse Magazine After a very shaky start, the film gradually overcomes our resistance, satisfies our credulity, wins us over and gives us an inspirational high. It had me in tears before it was done, and I'm a tough audience. William Arnold Seattle Post-Intelligencer ... just another who-needs-it sequel preaching to the choir. It's no knockout, but at least it's better than Rocky V. Carol Cling Las Vegas Review-Journal For complete reviews and additional comments CLICK HERE (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/rocky_balboa/)

    All them Rocky movies Rocked i love em , they Rock bigtime * Saving Private Ryan an excellent movie ***** * Gallipoli another excellent movie ***** * Kokoda abt time they made another Aussie movie abt our men and what they went through ***** O i got heaps more , i shall reply back in this tomorrow or next weel lol HAILS.....Sweety, this thread is about SEQUELS only! There are way to many movies made to rate all of them. The point is, a movie needs to be GOOD to make a sequel (never saw a sequel to a bad movie, did ya?) So....what I was starting was a thread where the Critics of FileCabiNet can list the FLOP sequels and the GOOD Sequels. K?

    T1 - classic. T2 - back in the day I thought it was better than the original. T3 - sucked arse! Alien - another classic. Aliens - sucked arse! Alien 3 - I thought was very good, went back to the original idea of no weapons - pure survival. The other alien films I cant recall so - sucked arse! AvP - potential was there but for me a wasted opportunity - try harder! Preditor - classic again. Preditor 2 - fantasic sequel even though they cast Danny Glover in the lead - not that I have anything against him (he was good in Lethal Weapon films) but to me didn't fit the role. Longbob.

    Scream - The best of the bunch, classic Scream 2 - Wasn't too shabby, had it's ups and downs, can't really remember it very well though Scream 3 - BAH HUMBUG

    Terminator 1 **** Terminator 2 ***** Terminator 3 *** Terminator 3 lacked the suspense of the first and second terminators and although had great special effects, the story was no where near as good as in the first and second terminators. Linda Hamilton wasnt in the third one and this sucked. Also it would have been better if Edward Furlong had continued his role. The fourth may suck big time, unless if comes up with something special, No Arnie, No Hamilton, No hope maybe. I hope it will be good though. Terminator 2 maybe really deserves 7 stars, a truly great sequel, its rare that sequels are better then originals, but it happened in this case.

    bump? kinda missed this thread. The Godfather - Excelent. One of the best movies ever made, IMO. If not THE best. The Godfather - part II - For some critics, even better than the first. I personally do not agree. Brando owns it in the first movie. Anyway it´s the only sequel to win an Oscar for best picture. The Godfather - part III - In my opinion, the least-great in the saga. Regardless, one of the best films I have seen. I´d have to five them all. ^^^ The Matrix - five stars The Matrix Reloaded - bleh The Matrix Revolutions or whatever the name was - *hurls

    Clint Eastwood May not of been a perfect sequel, but his heart was in the right place Dirty Harry Magnum Force The Enforcer Sudden Impact The Dead pool

    Charles Bronson Death Wish Death Wish 2 Death Wish 3 Death Wish 4 Death Wish 5 and if he lived 100 more IMO....Death Wish was the Best of the Bunch. The sequels basically had the same story line and were too predictable! I was still an MP in the Army when I saw Death Wish at a Theatre and I remember it motivated us to go out and find muggers and street punks and take 'em out! YEAH! (LOL, we went to the Bar instead!) The sequels failed to motivate me in the same way, dunno...maybe it was the company of me buds that helped. i was on a date with the sequel and saw the rest on Cable or Rented.

    airplane!! 5/5 airplane 2- 2/5 (btw, best comedy ever made)
  21. Big OzzieSalvaged from archive31 Dec 2006, 00:53
    RAMBO*****....The best of the bunch. Much like the 1st Rocky, you found yourself cheering on the maligned underdog. RAMBO II*** & III**....Failed miserably IMO The movies attempted to make up with action where they let of in story content. They failed to carry the same story line from the first movie, instead attempting to make the main character a world hero. Typical sequels.....1st movie does great, make another real quick. Don't worry about a story line, it will ride the coat tails of the 1st movie. They took your money with the 2nd flic and stole it and ran with the 3rd, which was a complete failure!

    airplane!! 5/5 airplane 2- 2/5 (btw, best comedy ever made) I'll go with er Ratings, TGD_02......BUT, "The best comedy ever made"? Dunno, Homz......what waz in yer pipe when ya were watchin' it? No comparison to ANIMAL HOUSE***** or CADDY SHACK I***** & II ***** I really shouldn't list Animal House.....no sequel, but an excellent movie LMFAO! Caddy Shack? The original was GREAT! The sequel was awesome, Rodney Dangerfield took the show from the rest of the cast... a real comedian!
  23. tgd_02Salvaged from archive31 Dec 2006, 01:12
    ive watched both but i guess with airplane the randomness and the hilarity ofthe dialogue as for rodney dangerfield, IMO he was better in standup everytime he said a line i pictured that it would be better received in a comedy show than in a movie...IMO... o! and of course the legend leslie nielsen naked gun 5/5 naked gun 2 1/2- 5/5 both hilarious and unforgetable i can quote and remember specigic parts to this day!

    Off topic...but talking about Rodney. True, most of his speaking parts consisted of one liners, but he was Killer in movies like Back to School whereas comedians like Chevy Chase just seem to fall short in the acting department. The VACATION**** series of movies fell miserably short of the first one. IMO...comedy actors like Chase make too much of an effort to deliver their punch line. Rodney delivers it in a much more matter of fact or casual way that makes it flow with little effort. The same as Sam Kinnison and John Belushi....very relaxed in their performances.
