Top Ten Worst Sequels

Well I feel like my Top Ten lists have focused too much on the positive. So I guess a negative one only seems logical. The rules are simple: it has to be a movie sequel that I think is bad or unnecessary. So let's see the worst of the worst with the Top Ten Worst Sequels.



10 Jurassic Park: The Lost World
The original Jurassic Park was a fun adventure everyone loved. Everyone wanted to see a sequel, and then regretted asking for it in the first place. You don't really care about the characters, it's way too long and of course there is this forced environmental message about saving the dinosaurs....wait aren't we supposed to be afraid of the dinosaurs?










9 Cars 2
The first Cars wasn't the best of Pixar but it wasn't the worst. This however is the worst of Pixar. The main character Mater is very annoying, there are very few funny jokes and the plot about super spies and saving the world seems out of place compared to the plot of the first movie. But I will give it this, the animation is nice.









8 Son of the Mask
OK so I haven't actually seen the original "The Mask" but honestly, from what I know about it I don't think I need to. It has very little to do with the first movie and a lot of the cartoon gags are actually very terrifying. Not to mention that the main character seems very uninteresting.










7 The Neverending Story 3
While the first movie was great and the second was passable, this one is awful. None of the original cast is there, the puppets in this film are a major downgrade and all of the character are nothing like I remember them being.












6 Rocky IV
You know how the first Rocky was a great underdog story sports film, remember how rooted in reality it was? Well this one has a robot and a "Super Boxer". Yeah, what ruins this movie is how silly it is, I mean the boxer Rocky is fighting like a character you meet in a video game.








5 Baby Geniuses 2: Superbabies
Like Son of the Mask this doesn't really connect other than, "look badly lip syncing babies".  It's not as bad as the first one but still the bad effects and the bad acting (to be fair babies aren't really cut out to be actors) make this a very painful film to watch.











4 Hoodwinked Too (no that's not a typo)
So the first Hoodwinked was surprisingly good with it's original premise and some funny moments. But this one isn't as funn:  the characters are nothing like you remember and there are a lot of tired cliches. But at least the animation is better than it was in the first movie.










3 Inspector Gadget 2
The first movie was awful. Why would you want to make a sequel? The CGI in this movie is way too cartoonish and the actor playing Inspector Gadget is very annoying. It is nothing like the cartoon it is based on, so please do your self a favor and don't watch this one.












2 Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
By this point I thought that At Worlds End was the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie. But they got this one to see if any one was still interested in the series. The movie has way too many characters that need more development, I had a hard time understanding the plot, and it is way too long for me to pay attention to.












1 Beneath the Planet of the Apes
Planet of the Apes is a classic with it's awesome story and amazing ape makeup. This however is a major downgrade. Charlton Heston's character doesn't have enough screen time and instead we fallow around this less interesting version of his character. The movie repeats a lot of scenes from the first film that aren't as impressive because you've already seen them. And don't get me started on the underground society of mutants.




Well that was the worst sequels of all time. So please do yourself a favor and don't watch these movies. Let me know if you agree with my list or what you would have liked to see on the list. See you next time everybody.
