Dear WatchMojo, I want to watch this video. I really do. But I’m only one minute in and I can’t take any more of the narrator’s severe vocal fry. Please tell her to stop or replace her.
"We all know the dangers of sequels. Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place too often, and I think you've got to move beyond it, go the extra mile and have the courage not to just repeat the first one." Colin Firth
John Cleese said if you make a sequel, it has to be better than the original so that the audience may regard it as being as good as the original. He believed beloved originals are held up to such a high standard that sequels are often judged to be inferior even before release.
People shouldn't blame TIM MILLER for the failure of "Terminator: Dark Fate" He was the director, not the writer Killing John Connor was James Cameron's idea Miller deserves another chance because he still got a lot to offer He not only gave us DEADPOOL, but also SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, directed by his friend, Jeff Fowler Also, have anyone seen LOVE, DEATH and ROBOTS?
Nothing in the “Terminator: Dark Fate” segment did it mention Tim Miller! Also, the “Zoolander 2” segement mentioned Deadpool as beating Zoolander 2 at the box office! Did you watch the whole video?
No it's poison because it has no build up from Jean to Phoenix to Dark Phoenix. It's Jean just turns Dark Phoenix. They need a Saga of at least 3 movies. Jean gets the phoenix powers and uses it for good, Jean becomes corrupted in the 2nd and then the last is boss mode. Dark Phoenix was a remake of the last stand pretty much which was not a good dark phoenix storyline. They ruined Apocalypse as well. Hopefully we get Mr. Sinister and the nasty boys.
I'm also blaming the failure of Fantastic Beasts in the lack of Johnny Depp as Grindelwald. In the first one we got a weirdo villain that looked somewhere between the Mad Hatter and Willy Wonka as the most terrifying Dark Wizard before Voldemort. Then thanks to Amber Turd we got a villain that looked like the branch manager of some office.
Yeah well their trial turned out to be a massive waste of time & interest & his apparent nepo baby is going to prove that point in a couple of weeks time.
Really? Johnny Depp being in those movies is the entire reason I never gave them a chance. He was just SO bad as Mad Hatter and as Willy Wonka that I decided years ago I would never waste my money on seeing one of his movies again

I knew Son of the Mask would be on here. Replacing Jim Carrey with Jamie Kennedy was a recipe for disaster. Blues Brothers 2000 without the late John Belushi was destined to fail at the box office. Caddyshack 2 was hurt by not having Bill Murray as the groundskeeper and replacing him with Dan Aykroyd trying to be Bill Murray.
What I like the most about the X-Men movies is the fact that they never tried to follow the MCU's formula or its tropes, especially after it became a trend They never relied on nostalgia, the tone always kept consistent, and they always focused on the present And Dark Phoenix kept that way They kept their sense of individuality. Even the score was different in each movie
MK Anhiliation was incredibly aweful in so many ways. The original cast replacements, the confusing mess of a plot, the horrendously bad special effects, the cringy and awkward dialogue, clogging up the movie with unnecessary game characters for no reason etc. There is no redeeming this movie.
The Chronicles Of Riddick is a masterpiece, excellent and very tasteful movie in its own right, great work with a very brooding and dark air, great heroes and surperb tension.
I tend to agree- it was not a good sequel if the expectation was another sci-fi horror like Pitch Black, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable sci-fi action flick!
Say what you want about 2010's Alice In Wonderland, but at least that movie actually had something to do with Wonderland. Its sequel, however, barely had anything to do with The Looking Glass. Let alone what happened in the original book.
Such a pity during the direct-to-video phase of Disney’s animated films, we never got an adaptation of Through the Looking-Glass as a sequel to the 1951 animated film.
Mean Girls 2, Miss Congeniality 2, Predator 2, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Jurassic Park 3, and pretty much all the animated Disney sequels from the early 2000s.
Crank: High Voltage should be in this list because it looks like an upsetting sequel that shouldn’t be made. Space Jam: A New Legacy stays in this list for the WORST looney tunes movie ever made.
The problem with the new Independence Day wasn't the delay, or Will Smith's absence It was bringing back Roland Emmerich to helm the project After spending the following 20 years making more disaster movies with the same formula, he became unable to bring anything new He literally has nothing else to offer
Chronicles of Riddick is actually one of my favorite movies. Saw it without ever knowing about Perfect Dark or that it was a sequel. It has this Lord of the Rings vibe of a much larger world and story that it simply doesn't have time to tell. It also has some epic sci fi action and really cool art design.
I loved it as well and I also liked Pitch Black. I think I actually own both on DVD somewhere. I thought the storyline was awesome and I loved the direction they took it. If you ever watch Pitch Black…or the third movie Riddick (which is just basically PB, but on a different planet) those two movies have one vibe and Chronicles… is completely different. All three have the same writer/director.
I own both of the _Trainspotting_ movies on disc and, not knowing how the sequel did in the theaters, I was afraid it would make the list. I think it was a good take on the original story, two decades on, despite the numerous (often corny) references to the first movie. I’m glad it did well enough at the box office to escape this ignominy.
Resurgence would have been so much better if they focused on the human story like they did with the first one. So much good stuff in the book that spans the movies and so much backstory that was left out. What happened to Connie (car crash), the politics behind Hillers death and how that lead to Levinson stepping up into the directors role, General Adams entire backstory, how Jake and Charlie got in with Patricia and Dylan etc. So much left out. Still loved it for what it was though. Helps I went in with low expectations.
I would say that if a movie makes a profit, no matter how small, it is not a flop... disappointment sure, but not a flop. A flop is a movie that cost the studio money. A major flop costs the studio... the studio.
the only good thing about the film is the music (check out the soundtrack album), but the film still sucks, it doesn't even have a single funny joke in it, and it hugely insults the first film. if the first film is a mission from god done well, then the sequel is a flaming bag of dogcrap from hell.
@@tonyacosta4574 i like john goodman, but that doesn't excuse the direction, writing and lack of creativity/energy in the sequel. the sequel never could replicate the magic and humor the first film gave us already. the first film's an icon. the sequel's not. it's not funny, it has no sense of direction, the little kid sidekick doesn't help either, it has no plot nor stakes, the antagonists aren't that memorable (illinois russians doesn't have the same ring or flair as illinois nazis), and last but not least, did i type in already that the sequel is NOT FRICKIN' FUNNY?! the only decent part from this sequel is the soundtrack. outside of that, there's nothing redeemable about this sequel. besides, even though goodman was in the blues brothers group years ago, he doesn't have the same natural spark or chemistry that aykroyd and belushi had. p.s.: who the f#@k wants a follow-up to a comedy musical car chasing classic of an icon? NO ONE!
Someone explain to me how Exorcist II: the Heretic (1977) wasn’t number one on this list. I don’t care how well or poor it did at the box office, quality-wise, I’ve yet to see a sequel more abysmal than that one.
I enjoyed Blues Brothers 2000. I also feel it was necessary. After John Belushi passed, ‘Joliet’ Jake Blues’ story needed to close as well. Also, I thought that John Goodman singing and dancing was a surprise and a treat. And are we really going to gloss over Erykah Badu’s Queen Musette?! Also, I didn’t mind Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. They did give franchise fans something (more characters from the series). Problem was they brought in too many characters with next-to-no backstory for most of them. Jade was race-swapped, Night Wolf was just there to introduce ‘Animality’, and Brian Thompson as ‘Shao Khan’ was a disconnect for me. The soundtrack is pretty awesome, though.
Well Warner firing Depp from Beasts 3 while keeping Amber Turd on for Aquaman 2 100% affected the box office. I actually really like The Whole Ten Yards and Even Almighty 🤷🏻♂️
Top Gun Maverick is an exceptional case. I think the gap actually helped it. While a pre 1990 sequel to Top Gun probably would have done well, I doubt one between 1996 and 2016 would. In the years since, nostalgia for the 1980s has grown and Tom Cruise has been very successful at putting his PR troubles of the early 2000's behind him and winning back the love and respect of his fans.
What about Superman 4: The Quest for Peace? I hear that was one of the worst box office bombs of the 1980s, partly due to budget cuts and the "ending nuclear war" storyline being Christopher Reeve's idea, nuclear war being something he felt strongly about at that time. But even he later admitted it was a "huge mistake" in his book Still Me.
Knew that Batman and Robin would be on here, but thought it'd be lower on the list. Also, people seem to forget that Kilmers had bat nipples first for some reason. 👍. And I absolutely hated chronicles of Riddick so I'm glad I wasn't alone on that.
Evan Almighty works fine as a standalone sequel. I think people at the time (perhaps myself as well, although I was only 15 when Even Almighty came out) were expecting a full-on Bruce Almighty 2 and were disappointed when they didn't get that. But I think as time has gone on Evan Almighty still holds up pretty well - it was just marketed wrong.
Saying that "Basic Instinct 2" was a sequel no one wanted is not entirely accurate. One person wanted it... Sharon Stone. She was promised a sequel after the 1st became a hit, but the producers screwed around too long. Sharon was ready to sue for breach of contract, & the producers decided that making the movie would be less expensive and less of a headache than going to court.
I'm very proud of the fact that I have never seen any of these except for part of number 20, which remains the only movie I have ever walked out of. Thanks for this hilarious list and uh, give it a sequel? There remains so much more at the bottom of this barrel. I say this knowing that I may have seen some bombs but, I can take the pain. MOJO, stay awesome!❤ 20:32
I actually went to see Alice Through the Looking Glass back in 2016, and while it was okay, it IS really forgettable. The only good thing I can say about it was that there was a girl who also watched the movie, but she sat in the same row as me. And for those who are wondering, the theater was empty outside of her and myself.
Some of the movies on your list, I actually watched and enjoyed, so I don't consider them bombs. It's simply due to the fact that most people just didn't appreciate them. The same can be said by some of the movies that spawned the sequ/sequels. The original ones were lost to begin with.
Another movie sequel I think should have been on this list is Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2. I saw VHS tapes of that movie at the 99c store some few years ago. I didn't watch Baby Geniuses but I don't know why there had to be a sequel to it.
I agree that most of these were pretty dismal. But I really enjoyed “Alice Through the Looking Glass”, and “The Secrets of Dumbldore”, and I liked “Dark Phoenix”. Not as much as some of the other X-Men films, but it was ok 👌. And “Evan Almighty” was ok as well.
The first Look Who's Talking sequel was cute, though not a patch on the original. However, once the third movie had the DOGS beginning to speak, that stretched believability somewhat!
I was crazy about Chronicles of Riddick. Actually, I was crazy about all the Riddick movies. I can't wait for the new one to come out. I have never understood the appeal of Zoolander. Not surprised the sequel flopped. I really enjoyed Fantastic Beast the Secrets of Dumbledore. You should do a list about sequels that are better than the original. It's rare but it does happen once in awhile. Like Terminator Two, Godfather Two and Aliens.
Alice Through the Looking Glass isn’t by definition a bad movie, it’s just they raise the stakes too high to make the events happen reasonably. Literally the better alternative is to not do anything.
The only 4 sequels on this list that I actually watched & also liked watching on & off are #20, #18, #12, & #8, aka “Batman & Robin”, “Look Who’s Talking Now”, “Alice Through The Looking Glass”, & “Evan Almighty”. I never really saw any of the other sequels on this list but have heard of some of them in harsh ways more often than not, so there’s barely anything I can say about the sequels that I haven’t watched. #20- I only watched a few times as a kid & liked it a little bit. Can’t believe until years later when I searched its information on the internet that it bombed hard at the box office to the point where it not only took roughly 8 years for its original franchise to get rebooted, but its poor box office reception caused the planned 5th movie to get cancelled. It’s honestly a shame that the original “Batman” franchise stopped after this sequel because I actually liked it. #18- I watched as a kid a few times & it actually made me laugh. #12- I absolutely loved watching this sequel before on & off on both Netflix & Disney+ & thought it was better than the original. The 1 major good thing that comes out of this sequel is that it explains so much about the Red Queen & why she became so evil. #8: I’ve watched this sequel before on & off as a kid at home & once or twice on Peacock. Didn’t know it was a sequel until years later when I looked up its information on the internet. Still wished this sequel got a sequel of its own to show its titular character in a better way.
Out of all these movies the only ones that I've seen more than once are Dark Fate and The Chronicles of Riddick. Son of the mask definitely deserves the no1 spot and Batman and Robin should have made the top 5.
Fun fact: I loved XXX 2, I thought it had decent action, Ice Cube was hilarious, and William Dafoe was the villain! As far as I’m concerned it’s a classic!! I don’t care what anyone says 😂💯
couple of things: 18:14 you can say the same thing about the MCU by now. I actually enjoyed Fantastic Beasts 3, it was cool and mysterious, obviously not perfect but there are rarely movies that are. I also enjoyed Evan Almighty, it was funny and interesting and maybe not as heartfelt as the first one but still a good movie. Also Alice through the looking-glass was cool and interesting, although after I read the books recently it didn't make any sense lore-wise and you can definietly see that it wasn't Tim Burton who directed it
Sexuality was not tabu in the early 90s as much as parents would let us see all the violence we wanted, but they drew a visible line at sex scenes. #GenX
Bruce almighty was great, Evan almighty… was terrible. Can’t really comment on most of the others as fortunately they passed me by, but I didn’t think Fantastic beasts was that bad, if that’s any kind of recommendation 😊👍
16:26-16:27 I hope universal studios would make The Blues Brothers 3000(soon in the future)with the original casts(some of them.?)and the new casts play new characters and also the famous singers too.?
Shazam! Fury of the Gods is actually a great sequel overall and the criticism was frankly just BS. As a humongous fan of the first movie and the amazing Zachary Levi (meeting him at the Rome premiere was a dream come true) i was very satisfied. Everything about the film is well done: The acting, directing, chemistry, story, moments, action and messages are all top notch! It truly doesn’t deserve the flop and sincerely hope that James Gunn doesn’t make a mistake and approves a third film with this amazing cast because they deserve all of the success in the world.

This proves it: Tim Miller is an overpaid tool.
@@josefengelhardt2767 I was referring to how the director was credited in the first movie.
It's still his fault. He's the director the guy who made the movie so it all falls on him
Sequels that get released after 10 years of it's first movie almost never do well. This a true statement.
Memo to Marvel/Disney: When you bring The X-Men to the MCU, avoid the Dark Phoenix Saga, it's proven Box Office Poison!
That's why they're not gonna do another X-Men film until after Avengers: Secret Wars.
No it's poison because it has no build up from Jean to Phoenix to Dark Phoenix. It's Jean just turns Dark Phoenix. They need a Saga of at least 3 movies.

p.s.: who the f#@k wants a follow-up to a comedy musical car chasing classic of an icon? NO ONE!
Someone explain to me how Exorcist II: the Heretic (1977) wasn’t number one on this list. I don’t care how well or poor it did at the box office, quality-wise, I’ve yet to see a sequel more abysmal than that one.
Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day.
I enjoyed Blues Brothers 2000. I also feel it was necessary. After John Belushi passed, ‘Joliet’ Jake Blues’ story needed to close as well. Also, I thought that John Goodman singing and dancing was a surprise and a treat. And are we really going to gloss over Erykah Badu’s Queen Musette?!
Also, I didn’t mind Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. They did give franchise fans something (more characters from the series). Problem was they brought in too many characters with next-to-no backstory for most of them. Jade was race-swapped, Night Wolf was just there to introduce ‘Animality’, and Brian Thompson as ‘Shao Khan’ was a disconnect for me. The soundtrack is pretty awesome, though.
I'm a big Blues Brothers fan and i enjoy it to when i watch it. I was really suprised by John Goodmans singing
Well Warner firing Depp from Beasts 3 while keeping Amber Turd on for Aquaman 2 100% affected the box office. I actually really like The Whole Ten Yards and Even Almighty 🤷🏻♂️
They talk about making a sequel years and years after is a bad idea... but sometimes it works. Case in point: Top Gun: Maverick
Top Gun Maverick is an exceptional case. I think the gap actually helped it. While a pre 1990 sequel to Top Gun probably would have done well, I doubt one between 1996 and 2016 would. In the years since, nostalgia for the 1980s has grown and Tom Cruise has been very successful at putting his PR troubles of the early 2000's behind him and winning back the love and respect of his fans.
I did see Alice Through The Looking Glass. The one thing I liked about it is the song Just Like Fire by PINK
The thing about making a sequel no one asked
Is that no one is gonna see it
Yeah that’s true
What about Superman 4: The Quest for Peace? I hear that was one of the worst box office bombs of the 1980s, partly due to budget cuts and the "ending nuclear war" storyline being Christopher Reeve's idea, nuclear war being something he felt strongly about at that time. But even he later admitted it was a "huge mistake" in his book Still Me.
It didn't help that was Superman 4 was distributed by the Cannon films. They were a low-budget film company, that did everything on the cheap.
@@rafaelsale6364and even used some of Superman 4’s budget to produce the He-Man movie
Knew that Batman and Robin would be on here, but thought it'd be lower on the list. Also, people seem to forget that Kilmers had bat nipples first for some reason. 👍. And I absolutely hated chronicles of Riddick so I'm glad I wasn't alone on that.
Where is it?
Blues brother 2000 soundtrack was the selling point.
'What killed the dinosaurs? The ice age!'
Wut? 😂
Evan Almighty works fine as a standalone sequel. I think people at the time (perhaps myself as well, although I was only 15 when Even Almighty came out) were expecting a full-on Bruce Almighty 2 and were disappointed when they didn't get that. But I think as time has gone on Evan Almighty still holds up pretty well - it was just marketed wrong.
Kitana: Do these shorts make me look fat?
Sindel: Too bad hips... Don't lie.
Saying that "Basic Instinct 2" was a sequel no one wanted is not entirely accurate. One person wanted it... Sharon Stone. She was promised a sequel after the 1st became a hit, but the producers screwed around too long. Sharon was ready to sue for breach of contract, & the producers decided that making the movie would be less expensive and less of a headache than going to court.
I think she even wants to do a third one, and said she'd be willing to do it herself. I read that on Wiki so I'm going off of that.
The person writing the script for mortal combat was probably thinking this line is gonna be awesome!
I'm very proud of the fact that I have never seen any of these except for part of number 20, which remains the only movie I have ever walked out of. Thanks for this hilarious list and uh, give it a sequel? There remains so much more at the bottom of this barrel. I say this knowing that I may have seen some bombs but, I can take the pain. MOJO, stay awesome!❤ 20:32
I actually went to see Alice Through the Looking Glass back in 2016, and while it was okay, it IS really forgettable. The only good thing I can say about it was that there was a girl who also watched the movie, but she sat in the same row as me. And for those who are wondering, the theater was empty outside of her and myself.
Some of the movies on your list, I actually watched and enjoyed, so I don't consider them bombs. It's simply due to the fact that most people just didn't appreciate them.
The same can be said by some of the movies that spawned the sequ/sequels. The original ones were lost to begin with.
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! I had no idea Caddyshack had a sequel until today. 🤣🤣🤣
Believe me,you didn't miss anything...Caddyshack 2 isn't worth two hours of your life.
Batman & Robin is only number 20? I shudder at the thought of what the rest of the list will look like.
Another movie sequel I think should have been on this list is Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2. I saw VHS tapes of that movie at the 99c store some few years ago. I didn't watch Baby Geniuses but I don't know why there had to be a sequel to it.
I'd pick Deep Throat 2,The Exorcist 2 : The Heretic,and the sequel to The Blair Witch Project whatever that was called....Oh and Grease 2 !
I agree that most of these were pretty dismal. But I really enjoyed “Alice Through the Looking Glass”, and “The Secrets of Dumbldore”, and I liked “Dark Phoenix”. Not as much as some of the other X-Men films, but it was ok 👌. And “Evan Almighty” was ok as well.
The first Look Who's Talking sequel was cute, though not a patch on the original. However, once the third movie had the DOGS beginning to speak, that stretched believability somewhat!
Star Ship Troopers 2 definitely deserved top 3 at least
Also where is Exorcist II
It still got three sequels
Man i love seeing Amanda Peet no matter what movie it is even the whole ten yards.
The first Speed is a classic and a good villain but the sequel on a cruise? Meh
Say what you will about the late Dennis Hopper, at least he gave us the classic line, "Pop quiz, hotshot!"
Sin city A Dame to kill for was not needed. Sin City is great. A sequel wasn't needed.
The Chronicles of Riddick And Sin City 2 Are A Fantastic Entertaining Movies Phoebe,
The Coming To America sequel is definitely an honorable mention
The Chronicles of Riddick was hard asf I loved it
I love the trilogy.
I didn't even know Alice had a sequel lol
Wouldn’t blame you considering the original was made in 2010 and the sequel was made 6 years later 2016
No. 20, interesting fact: we have McDonald's to thank for Forever and this for existing
I was crazy about Chronicles of Riddick. Actually, I was crazy about all the Riddick movies. I can't wait for the new one to come out. I have never understood the appeal of Zoolander. Not surprised the sequel flopped. I really enjoyed Fantastic Beast the Secrets of Dumbledore. You should do a list about sequels that are better than the original. It's rare but it does happen once in awhile. Like Terminator Two, Godfather Two and Aliens.
How about the top 10 childhood celebrity crushes
did that
Alice Through the Looking Glass isn’t by definition a bad movie, it’s just they raise the stakes too high to make the events happen reasonably. Literally the better alternative is to not do anything.
through the looking glass is a good movie. The visual effects are amazing.
Chronicles of riddick was superb
Even George Clooney thought he ruined Batman 😂😂
“Two bad you…Will die” best line in movie history😂
Anchor man two the legend continues
The only 4 sequels on this list that I actually watched & also liked watching on & off are #20, #18, #12, & #8, aka “Batman & Robin”, “Look Who’s Talking Now”, “Alice Through The Looking Glass”, & “Evan Almighty”. I never really saw any of the other sequels on this list but have heard of some of them in harsh ways more often than not, so there’s barely anything I can say about the sequels that I haven’t watched. #20- I only watched a few times as a kid & liked it a little bit. Can’t believe until years later when I searched its information on the internet that it bombed hard at the box office to the point where it not only took roughly 8 years for its original franchise to get rebooted, but its poor box office reception caused the planned 5th movie to get cancelled. It’s honestly a shame that the original “Batman” franchise stopped after this sequel because I actually liked it. #18- I watched as a kid a few times & it actually made me laugh. #12- I absolutely loved watching this sequel before on & off on both Netflix & Disney+ & thought it was better than the original. The 1 major good thing that comes out of this sequel is that it explains so much about the Red Queen & why she became so evil. #8: I’ve watched this sequel before on & off as a kid at home & once or twice on Peacock. Didn’t know it was a sequel until years later when I looked up its information on the internet. Still wished this sequel got a sequel of its own to show its titular character in a better way.
Blues Brothers 2000 may have not done well but, it did not insult the memory of John Belushi, this is considered to be a tribute to him.
I hated the Looking Glass. Everyone was dumb. Alice could just say are they alive and save them that way. But that movie is not canon to me
TBH - the *ENTIRE* Riddick trilogy is a "guilty pleasure" 🤗
Was about to write the same.
Accurate I watched these movies religiously as a kid 😂
Out of all these movies the only ones that I've seen more than once are Dark Fate and The Chronicles of Riddick. Son of the mask definitely deserves the no1 spot and Batman and Robin should have made the top 5.
Fun fact: I loved XXX 2, I thought it had decent action, Ice Cube was hilarious, and William Dafoe was the villain! As far as I’m concerned it’s a classic!! I don’t care what anyone says 😂💯
Good list. But -
WHERE THE HELL IS S. DARKO?!?!
All 3 Riddick movies were amazing. And they can't count as separate movies, because it's like 3 parts of the same movie.
The Rey Palpatine trilogy was worse than anything on this list.
Agreed 👍
As bad as Batman and Robin was it's still one of my favourite movies
Edit: son of the mask deserves to be number one on this list
I do like the CGI Cartoon dog (19:48), but that's about the ONLY good thing in that entire cinematic disaster!!!
BATMAN AND ROBIN IS A CLASSIC!
couple of things:
18:14 you can say the same thing about the MCU by now.
I actually enjoyed Fantastic Beasts 3, it was cool and mysterious, obviously not perfect but there are rarely movies that are.
I also enjoyed Evan Almighty, it was funny and interesting and maybe not as heartfelt as the first one but still a good movie.
Also Alice through the looking-glass was cool and interesting, although after I read the books recently it didn't make any sense lore-wise and you can definietly see that it wasn't Tim Burton who directed it
Sexuality was not tabu in the early 90s as much as parents would let us see all the violence we wanted, but they drew a visible line at sex scenes. #GenX
“Coming To America 2” was horrible!
Bruce almighty was great, Evan almighty… was terrible. Can’t really comment on most of the others as fortunately they passed me by, but I didn’t think Fantastic beasts was that bad, if that’s any kind of recommendation 😊👍
Secrets of dumbledore was really bad I thought. I enjoyed the 1st two though. I don’t think the 2nd one was all that bad x
I think it's a shame about the colossal failure of Caddyshack II. I honestly consider it a hidden gem! I love that movie!
I actually loved Batman and Robin.
It's terrible but I mean it can be fun to watch. I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it as a kid though.
Then U have low standards...MAYBE & I ONLY SAY MAYBE a guilty pleasure for some people!!!

Top 10 Worst Things That Happen to Porky Pig
16:26-16:27 I hope universal studios would make The Blues Brothers 3000(soon in the future)with the original casts(some of them.?)and the new casts play new characters and also the famous singers too.?
Shazam! Fury of the Gods is actually a great sequel overall and the criticism was frankly just BS.
As a humongous fan of the first movie and the amazing Zachary Levi (meeting him at the Rome premiere was a dream come true) i was very satisfied.
Everything about the film is well done:
The acting, directing, chemistry, story, moments, action and messages are all top notch!
It truly doesn’t deserve the flop and sincerely hope that James Gunn doesn’t make a mistake and approves a third film with this amazing cast because they deserve all of the success in the world.
