And your telling us why?? Do you think anybody cares?? Do you honestly think that repeating something that was just said for attention is worth your time?
The original script for the movie that eventually became American Psycho 2 started as a generic slasher type movie that had nothing to do with American Psycho at all, but then when production started they decided to alter the script to shoe-horn in a half-assed connection to Patrick Bateman, to cash in on the American Psycho name. The movie should honestly be ignored and not even considered a true sequel to American Psycho. Just forget it exists, lol.
Agreed on Aliens: the first film created a genuine sense of the truly, well...alien. The organic ship with its impossible internal proportions, the space jockey growing from its chair, and the constantly changing, invulnerable monster all served to keep the audience off balance and weirded out. Aliens, as much as I love it, nonetheless turned its antagonists into a cannon fodder ant colony - something recognisable, and massively less threatening. Even the egg carrier ship was distinctly more mechanical, and so more familiar, and safer.
I loved Aliens, but I agree, if you liked the original for its suspenseful, atmospheric horror and the fact that the alien was mysterious, unknown and constantly evolving, Aliens definitely leaves something to be desired. I think the alien is still threatening and intimidating, though, just in a different way, for better or worse, in a very different kind of movie. I think they gave us too many answers to the wrong kind of questions that we didn't need answered, not in the way they were given anyway. I won't argue with anyone who believes Aliens is great, as I thoroughly enjoyed it myself, but if anyone wanted the sequel to be more of the tone of the original, I can definitely agree that Aliens is simply not as good as Alien. I'm one of those people firmly in the camp that, although I really enjoy Aliens akd believe it is a pretty good movie, the original is far more creatively interesting and the superior film.
I'd say "Star Wars" are even with "Lego", but the latter might have even more appeal : as there are folks out there who genuinely don't know SW, but know lego blocks for sure!

No, they go for completely different things, old gangsters being old doesn't make them the same film. The irishman has much more in common with Kitano's Sonatine than it does with most hollywood mob films except of course for the intentional parallels with his previous works
@@marcogianesello6083 never said they were the same film. Both films are about a mobster reckoning with their past, and the tone of both films in the third act are pretty similar

Halloween honestly could've done best if it was just : Halloween (1978), Halloween H20 (1998), and "Halloween Kills" (2021) before the final comes out in 2022.
@@Suite_annamite i disagree,the idea of the ending poses the question if michael is more than just a man by him surviving what any human rarely could and could leave debate of what kind of force of nature is in him and steps in the center of fantasy and reality,the sequel ruined this by making him survive headshots and bringing an obsured amount of sequels michael to me isn't a story to have multiple movies
Halloween would have ultimately been best off as a stand-alone movie. That ending was perfect. That said we would have been begging for sequels the past few decades lol There is really no way to continue the story of Michael Myers without taking away the mystery of the character
@@zfurr8629 agreed. They should've stuck to their guns with their idea for the third film and made the series a Halloween anthology series. One of the few instances where I think the customer wasn't right, because I guess the biggest complaint was why it didn't have more Michael. That reception is probably the fault of the second film, though, for making people think this was supposed to be an ongoing story following this one killer that only had a limited shelf life for how many interesting stories you could tell about him.
I enjoy them a lot, except for the first half of Part 2. They teased a spectacular story with Marty going forward in time to meet (and help) his kids. Kind of the first film, but inverted - which would’ve been a wonderful counterpoint. But that plot line went nowhere, and instead we got the Biff/Donald Trump thing. Which hey, kinda cool, but misses the core of what made the first movie special. The hook of Back to the Future was time travel, but its staying power came from the perspective time travel offers on family. As soon as Part 2 lost sight of that, it became a lesser film. But hey, the “back to 1955” sequence is fun as hell, and Part 3 is unironically one of my favorite Westerns - even with the cringey preaching at the end.
They definitely were a cash grab and don't measure up to the original, but in hindsight, the Back to the Future sequels and the way they filmed them with such confidence as an epic big budget back-to-back two-parter only 6 months apart was way ahead of its time. And both sequels are very enjoyable in their own right.
Imo the sequels are good, especially part 2 which I think is just as good as the original and it's so much fun. 3 is less good but works well as part of a trilogy. I really like how they expanded it into a trilogy and the whole trilogy also works well on a meta level, where it's not so much time travel but them going into the classic American genres and the (popular) visions America has/ had of itself.
Perfectly described my thoughts on Part 3 of Godfather. I love that ending so much. It's easily the best part of the movie for me. Although unfortunately the scene where Michael is screaming in agony for his daughter's death was unintentionally funny (for me anyway). I wished they had kept his scream silent throughout the entirety of scene. Not a terrible movie.
Also. Yes!!!! I always thought Alien was better than Aliens! The way Scott barely shows the creature in the film and still creates a terrifying atmosphere with suspense and tension in his camera movement. He crafts such a crescendo effect of terror as the movie keeps on going. This is probably my 2nd favorite movie of all time. It's one if the few films (for me) I consider flawless.
Some forgettable ones: - Highlander 2 - Escape from LA - US Marshalls - Bad Boys 2 - King Kong Lives - XXX 2 (that one w/ Ice Cube) - Zoolander 2 - Anchroman 2 - Predator 2 - Goal 2 - Cannonball Run 2
Jurassic Park 2, yeah it was definitely disappointing but it at least had the lines between Goldblum and Vince Vaughan, when they're first on the remote island calling for Julianne Moore's character - 'Sarah!' 'Sarah Harding!' 'How many Sarah' s do you think there are here? ' 😄 That always tickles me 👍
I’d be interested to hear your review of the Wachowskis directorial debut BOUND. I think it’s masterfully done and had a lot of the same Matrix creatives (Writer/Directors, DP, Composer, Actor) on board. Also a Matrix Trilogy review would be great. By the way, Reloaded’s car chase was actually done with little CGI and shot almost entirely practical. They built a stretch of freeway in order to shoot it. There are some great Making Of features around detailing that part of the production.
Actually, the one where Rocky goes to Russia and stands up on top of that snow covered mountain training for his match against Ivan Drago is Rocky IV your thinking of. Rocky III is when fights Hulk Hogan in a charity contest and has Apollo Creed come back and train him in Los Angeles for the championship title bout.
Reloaded's highway scene is the only thing that makes that movie watchable. And why is it so successful? Surprise! It has actual tension because neo isn't one-shotting everything. Thanks for taking my comment!
Never got the hate for The Lost World. People turn up on an island to capture dinosaurs and get eaten. Sure it’s not the first but it’s good old-school dinosaur adventure fun. What exactly was everyone expecting it to be?
DeepFocusLens: But what about the one where they're on the mountain with the snow, and then there's that robot computer thing? Me: Isn't that all of them?
I totally agree about Godfather Part 3 especially the sicilian scenes and pacinos passionate acting. Andy Garcia for me was GANGSTER as hell, not the best actor in the world, but had a real killer look in his eyes, much more than Al Pacino even in the first two films
Your WW84 comments.. haha, love it. Casino Royale is my fav bond too Love Alien & Aliens but Alien is better - very different takes on the material - one of the best scifi horrors & one of the best scifi action films imo, maybe even THE best in those 2 subgenres. The slow building tension wins out over the adrenaline rush tho (for me)
Be Cool (Get Shorty part 2). Get Shorty was a witty gangster comedy that made fun of Hollywood in a smart way and took perfect advantage of the post-Pulp Fiction Travolta swagger. The sequel is a complete failure that instead of making fun of the music industry, it seems to look at it in an embarassing “American idolesque” awe. A missed opportunity that seems to completely misunderstand what was good about the original
Godfather pt 2 we see michael as a sleaze criminal who'll do anything to stay in power, criminals betraying and knocking off each other left and right. In the first movie michael loses himself and in the sequel he loses his family.
First, Michelle Pfeiffer still gives me chills when I watch her portrayal of Catwoman. Second, don't count American Psycho 2 out. It's not high-brow or terribly clever, that's for damn sure, but there's something fun and playful about it. It introduced me to the singer "Imogen Heap" so I forgive it for so many crimes just for that. Judge it independent of the first. I mean, how could anyone possibly have made a sequel to the first? What else is there to say that needs said? What point was left out from such a commentary on society? It's not really a sequel at all. Some producer that didn't even get the first film tried a cash grab, and what we got is a little murderous romp through a college campus. It's enough to be entertaining if you'll just accept it as that.
Im new to your page. Like it a lot so far. You're really knowledgeable about film. I always have to speak up for GDF 3. GDF3 is a 90's movie. Films in the 90's were shot a certain way and were done a certain way. As a fan of the original 2 GDF's I was soo excited that they did one more just to tie things up for the fans and I guess for Coppolla, the characters etc. Its not as good as the last 2, there's no doubt there. But I don't know as a fan and someone who just sometimes wants more of something he likes, I was into seeing what became of Michael, I loved Pacino's heart attack scene, in the kitchen... I mean.. U made a good point the Kaye and Michael relationship was great. I also really liked the way it was shot. At any rate it holds its place as 90s film.. a very late sequel of 2 movie classics.. It was the 90's man. It still holds up in my opinion. The other day, I was thinking I want them to give us a GD4!.. what became of Andy Garcia as The Godfather, and btw Talia Shire was great in 3.
The Legend of Zorro. Most people seem to consider it a lesser yet enjoyable sequel to an underrated 1990s classic, but I hate this sequel with every fiber of my being. The original had an edge to it, the action was spectacular but it was very grounded and emotionally compelling; it also had a distinct hispanic vibe, dare I say a "class" that you don't find in most films, even though Antonio Banderas is the only Spanish cast member. The Legend of Zorro on the other hand is almost a parody, it's goofy, artificial, childish, jingoistic and obnoxious in equal measure.
You nailed : I really enjoyed Aliens most probably because I watched it before I watched the first movie. And it also ruined it for me by the time I watched Alien, since I already knew most of what would happen.
Every Pirates of the Caribbean sequel after the Black Pearl was just rubbish. Even the first one wasn’t THAT good. Johnny is great as Jack but Orlando Bloom is just awful. I am amazed he made it so far as a leading man in Hollywood. The man CANNOT act.
The Micheal Critchton book was perfect and would have translated into a great film, but for some reason they completely butchered it and made the hackneyed nonsense that they did.
Alien (1979): Sci-fi horror Aliens (1986): Sci-fi action That’s the main difference between those two, it’s unfair to compare them, both excellent films in their own right. Same applies for The Terminator and Terminator 2. First one was a Sci-fi horror masterpiece, the sequel was one of the best blockbuster sci fi action movies ever put on film. Note: let’s not talk about Alien 3 and especially 4.
@@jumpedintheriverwhatdidise5499 to me the franchise ends with T2. Anything else past that is an abomination. Both excellent films in their own right. I remember watching the first one as a kid at night and I was literally petrified. Same applies for the first Alien, both masterpieces of the sci-fi horror genre which they certainly defined.
Equalizer 2 was a disappointment. It lacked decent story telling, the acting/casting was substandard, and was very predictable--the opposite of the first Equalizer film. I felt bad for Denzel Washington--he is better than this sequel.
Regarding WW84 I disagree with you that it was Donner Superman 78. I thought the beginning of WW84 reminded me more of the beginning of Superman 3 with the silly slapstick routine that became more jarring to me than fun or funny.
Don’t Breathe 2 was a massive letdown for me. The plot seemed forced for the “sympathetic” characters and did not hold a horror vibe throughout the film.
Four sequels to successful films that are all but unwatchable: "Fierce Creatures" (A Fish Called Wanda), not a narrative sequel but using the same cast "Stayin' Alive" (Saturday Night Fever) appalling "The Two Jakes" (Chinatown) dull, dull, dull "Shock Treatment" (Rocky Horror Picture Show) excruciating I'm still waiting for "Once is Not Enough, Part II"
Texasville is not a very good sequel to Last Picture Show. What becocomes of the Broken Hearted was kind of a letdown sequel of Once Were Warriors. The Exorcist II is a no brainer

The Legend of Zorro. Most people seem to consider it a lesser yet enjoyable sequel to an underrated 1990s classic, but I hate this sequel with every fiber of my being. The original had an edge to it, the action was spectacular but it was very grounded and emotionally compelling; it also had a distinct hispanic vibe, dare I say a "class" that you don't find in most films, even though Antonio Banderas is the only Spanish cast member. The Legend of Zorro on the other hand is almost a parody, it's goofy, artificial, childish, jingoistic and obnoxious in equal measure.
George Hamilton? The acting in 3 stunk
The Neverending Story Part 2 crushed my childhood
Kristen Wiig is a nice looking woman, she's like a hotter version of Jennifer Aniston, nothing wrong with her having to be 'sexy'.
🎼Blame it on the saaaaaatellliiiiite🎼
11:28 Me too (without the #). I'm not feeling GF 2. All the scenes in Cuba did not hold my Interest.
Oh good, we agree on lots of stuff. I was a bit worried, after Mandy, ...
Whether you meant to or not, you’ve just made me want to see Space Jam 2. Thanks…?
Son of the mask
Exorcist II : The Heretic
Every Halloween sequel after part 4
Color Of Money. Total Tom Cruise, look at me!
You nailed : I really enjoyed Aliens most probably because I watched it before I watched the first movie.
And it also ruined it for me by the time I watched Alien, since I already knew most of what would happen.
Every Pirates of the Caribbean sequel after the Black Pearl was just rubbish. Even the first one wasn’t THAT good. Johnny is great as Jack but Orlando Bloom is just awful. I am amazed he made it so far as a leading man in Hollywood. The man CANNOT act.
Just watched the American Psycho 2 scene and couldn't stop laughing
Easy The Sting 2
The Micheal Critchton book was perfect and would have translated into a great film, but for some reason they completely butchered it and made the hackneyed nonsense that they did.
_The Two Jakes_ (sequel to _Chinatown)_ was very bad.
Alien is a horror movie (one of the best) , Aliens is a sci-fi movie....both are great..
I love Aliens more, but to each their own.
Alien (1979): Sci-fi horror
Aliens (1986): Sci-fi action
That’s the main difference between those two, it’s unfair to compare them, both excellent films in their own right. Same applies for The Terminator and Terminator 2. First one was a Sci-fi horror masterpiece, the sequel was one of the best blockbuster sci fi action movies ever put on film.
Note: let’s not talk about Alien 3 and especially 4.
When I was a teen I was mocked for saying terminator was a sci fi horror but it is and I stand by it, also the best in the franchise by a mile
@@jumpedintheriverwhatdidise5499 to me the franchise ends with T2. Anything else past that is an abomination. Both excellent films in their own right. I remember watching the first one as a kid at night and I was literally petrified. Same applies for the first Alien, both masterpieces of the sci-fi horror genre which they certainly defined.
Your favorite superhero movie is Superman 1978. That's so cool.
Jurassic Park 2 wasn't as great compared to the first one. The third one is the worst.
As bad as the third Jurassic Park was I think the Jurassic World movies are worse
Every new Jurassic movie is worse than the last.
Equalizer 2 was a disappointment. It lacked decent story telling, the acting/casting was substandard, and was very predictable--the opposite of the first Equalizer film. I felt bad for Denzel Washington--he is better than this sequel.
Stayin' Alive is pretty lame
Regarding WW84 I disagree with you that it was Donner Superman 78. I thought the beginning of WW84 reminded me more of the beginning of Superman 3 with the silly slapstick routine that became more jarring to me than fun or funny.
Any thoughts on the upcoming Spielberg take on West Side Story ?
Don’t Breathe 2 was a massive letdown for me. The plot seemed forced for the “sympathetic” characters and did not hold a horror vibe throughout the film.
Staying Alive.........well the first one wasn't very good either of course.
Four sequels to successful films that are all but unwatchable:
"Fierce Creatures" (A Fish Called Wanda), not a narrative sequel but using the same cast
"Stayin' Alive" (Saturday Night Fever) appalling
"The Two Jakes" (Chinatown) dull, dull, dull
"Shock Treatment" (Rocky Horror Picture Show) excruciating
I'm still waiting for "Once is Not Enough, Part II"
Yeah Rocky IV is amazing 😁
There have been plenty of bad movie sequels but nothing can top those awful Star Wars sequels. They make the prequels look like masterpieces.
Alright,.. let's not get too carried away here....
Texasville is not a very good sequel to Last Picture Show. What becocomes of the Broken Hearted was kind of a letdown sequel of Once Were Warriors. The Exorcist II is a no brainer
What’s your favorite animated superhero movie?
Mask of the Phantasm
I listen to the Shirley Walker theme every Sunday
@@gusfring9194 I can relate.
Rosebud!!!!!
The Sting II, did not even know there was one before watching it and.... oof!
Mic sounding crisp. The only problem that i feel is that the volume is a bit TOO high, it literally feels like you're speaking 2 cm away from my nose lol.
I agree. Casino Royale is one of the best Bond films. Woody Allen was great in it. Huh, what? Who's Daniel Craig?
Speed 2.
Anchorman 2 and that last act.
Ghostbusters 2 was and still is a let down.
What’s so political about WW84? I think it’s a wack movie but I never felt like a political a message was getting shoved down my throat.
😌bad movie sequel George of the jungle 2
But the first is equally as bad.
Mortal combat 2 was the worst sequel ever
Maggie would you consider going on Rumble or Odyssey
"PREquels" properly come BEFORE whatever the film/s.
Peninsula (Train to Busan's sequel) was a big letdown.
