      or the last two Indiana joneses. I know it’s all hip to hate on Star Wars but those were way worse than ROS.

          I dunno about that. I was at least able to finish Crystal Skull, and for all that people shit on Shia Lebouf his character wasn’t nearly as intolerable as whatsherface. Or maybe he was, but since Indy himself wasn’t also suddenly a loser, I actually had other characters to give a shit about which cushioned his impact? Either way, I’d be willing to at least watch Crystal Skull again, but I still haven’t finished Dial of Destiny and have no desire to try.

            Apparently they directly reference Young Adventures when they’re in Peru in Crystal Skull.

      You missed the meeting huh?

      We all agreed that one doesn’t exist. For reasons.

      What were we talking about, I forget?

        Until I read that comment I thought there wasn’t a sequel lol.

        It seems like I didn’t miss anything.

      American Psycho 2 wasn’t all that bad. Remove the flashback scene tying it to the original and stop thinking of it as needing to be anything like the original and… it was fine.

        This is the idea right here. It wasn’t even meant to be a sequel, they slapped the name on it for recognition that ending flashback to her dad was a fucking tack on

    Independence Day 2 is one of the worst movie ever. And why Charlotte Gainsbourg was here? She’s useless, her character is useless, and she’s a bad actress.

      I honestly pressed stop, and turned off the movie when the scientist who clearly died in part 1, sits up in a hospital bed after being in a coma for decades and can talk and communicate just fine and somehow knows aliens are coming. I didn’t want to see anything beyond that point

        Wait, there’s more Brent Spiner in the second one? I still won’t give it a try, but I do feel slight temptation.

        I saw it in the cinema with friends, we all realised how shit it was pretty quickly, but I burst out laughing when the alien queen went on a rampage. It was so bad. “Look at its widdle legs!”

    Compared to all of the other ones, Mission: Impossible 2 was the absolute worst of the bunch.

    John Woo tried — he really did — but that script was brutal.

    It received a “D” CinemaScore, the lowset ever for a superhero movie.

    Except, it’s not a superhero movie.

    Lazy listicle. However I am happy Exorcist 2 exists because it meant that we got Exorcist 3 which is phenomenal.

    On the other side of the spectrum, I really like Patrick H. Willem’s take on the best sequel ever: Mamma Mia 2.

    Not the best movie that is also a sequel, but biggest improvement over the original.
