In Need Of A Sequel, Or No.

[on:]

     Most movies suck more than Clintons intern but some just need them simply because they leave the end open for one so that they are GOING to have a sequel then... no.... and when you watch it again 6 years later you find yourself asking... where the fuck is my goddamned sequel. Ok then, I wanna know what movies do you guys think need a sequel & which ones didn't.

Tomb Raider didn't need a sequel.

I would love to see a sequel of The Nightmare Before Christmas, at least a movie told in one of the Holiday towns.

[Reply #2 on:]

Movies where the story was originally written to be continous need sequals, to close the story. And movies which were originally intended to be stand alones, yet were popular, don't. Although they can occasionally be good, they aren't needed. It's money's fault.

[Reply #3 on:]

They're making a sequal to Luc Bessons classic hitman movie, Leon.

If Natalie Portman learns how to act and they don't give it an insanely stupid title (i.e. Leon 2) and or plot, I think I'd look forward to it. 

Damn, "Matilda" is already taken.

[Reply #4 on:]

"Dumb and Dumber" sure didn't need that pre-quel. And I'd say it's about time for an X- Files sequel.

Please don't give Disney ideas. So far they have made crappy sequels to almost all there films (Although apparently Lauran Tom is part of of the Mulan sequel). Just because they can't think of any more orginal ideas (then again most of their films where based on other people's stories any way) does not mean we won't to see poor quality straight to video sequels.

I also personally wished they had not made Terminator 3, it crapped on the previous story lines.
Also there was no need for Batman Forever and Batman and Robin (I'd love to shoot the guy who put nipples on Batmans costume) However I am quite interested in this Batman year 1 thing.

There are very few films who have sequels that exceed the orginal. The best sequel that springs to mind is Evil Dead 2 : Dead by Dawn. That film rocks my socks.

Problem. Here, in the US, it's called "The Professional." And I doubt "The Professional 2" is taken, either...

Natalie Portman is one hell of an actress! Ask anyone! It was just that Hayden Christensen's acting was so horrible it made her look bad.
Anyways, a lot of movies need sequels even if they weren't meant to have them. For example, BASEketball, South Park, Monsters Inc., Godzilla, and many more!

[Reply #8 on:]

Ditto on Natalie Portmans performance. I'm actually impressed with a female's acting for once! She pulls off the looks and the acting... like Julia Roberts in Erin Brockavich "The hooker with a heart of gold."
& to get back on topic, The Professional definitly does not need a sequel much as The School Of Rock doesn't need one, it's a MOST excellent one time show.

[Reply #9 on:]

I'm worried that you're not being sarcastic.

She was ok in Leon, other than that, she's a piece of (nice) ass.

[Reply #10 on:]

I was half sarcastic... I mean her acting was at least on par. not with anything in particular but just, on par; meaning not B movie acting. And yes she is most certianly a piece of work.

[Reply #11 on:]

X2 needs one, they ended it with us being able to just barely able to see the outline of The Phenix under the waves after the compound where Wolverine got his atomaton was flooded.

[Reply #12 on:]

I think X-men and X2 were meant to be a part of a bigger franchise. I mean X-men was essentialy just exposition setting up X2. (x2 was the first sequel I liked better than the first movie.)

Movies that didn't need sequels (the very short list:
Kill Bill
The Matrix
Lord of the Rings:the Fellowship of the Ring (Just Kidding 
Ghostbusters
Back to the Future
Saturday Night Fever
Short Circut
The Gods Must Be Crazy
Crocodile Dundee
Bill and Neo's Excelent Adventure.
Men In Black
and many more

Movies that benefited from a sequel/franchise:
X-men
The Terminator
Alien
Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 2's sequel)
The Bond Movies
Indiana Jones (except I hated Temple o'Doom)

Slurm Guy and TheLastGreatDon: are you for real? Natalie Portman is terrible! She almost ruins Star Wars for me.

Sure, a lot of people may blame George Lucas and his crummy way of directing actors. But Ewan pulls his part off pretty damn well. Hayden Christiansen had his share of awkward scenes, but he was still 100 times better than Natalie. I've never seen "The Professional Leon"...I hear she's good in that. My theory is that, as she blossomed into a sexy young jewish woman, she just forgot how to act. It's not a big deal--it happens to lots of precocious young talents. But don't make the mistake of still considering her a good actress.

Matilda in Leon is the best performance of her's I've seen, she was good in that 

[Reply #15 on:]

People may hate me for this, but I think that The Super Mario Bros. needed a sequel. It needed one to redeem itself and the ending just cried out for one!

[Reply #16 on:]

Slurm Guy: What would a BASEketball (funnyfunny movie BTW) sequel be about?
And Natalie Portman- I don't really know whether or not she can be good, because I've only seen her in Star Wars and one other film, where she was twelve (but in that one she was rather good). But in SWE1 she did have a slight weirdness to her voice when she spoke formally (especially the word "commitee". I don't know if this was intentional, but I think it was very suitable (and kind of hot- i have a thing for some accents)
Movie that did NOT need a sequel: The Crow!!! just leave it at the first, which I really liked.

[Reply #17 on:]

I don't care what the plot of BASEketball 2 would be about. But it doesn't matter as long as it would be funny.

Yeah it did seem like they where planning for a sequel. But I'd rather just break out the old N64 and play Super Mario 64 then sit through another 90 minutes of hollywood B-movie crap written by 1000 cross eyed, retarded monkeys with down syndrome, and directed by the one guy who knew what the futch was going on in crap storyline that they used in the first one, because he can talk retarded monkey talk.     

[Reply #19 on:]

newhook.... your ideas are warped and quite a bit twisted.... but I think Slurm is right... I mean Jhon Leguizamo's carrer has been tarnished beyond repair because of that twitch worthy.... spectacle...... it needs another one to bring some joy back to the video game-movie world.

Bowser Didnt even look like bowser! Almost every movie based off a videogame sucked. look at final fantasy. No summons at all!

Final Fantasy just used the video game's name. And alot of the characters in the Mario Bros. movie didn't look like they should have. I thought that it was just a fun story.

Oh, and welcome to peelified. YOU FOOL! 

[Reply #22 on:]

Final Fantasy:The Spirts within was only Final Fantasy in name.
The next one however is based after Final Fantasy VII. Frankly I cna't wiat for Final Fantasy: Advent Children it looks so good.

[Reply #23 on:]

Wait...they're making another one? Are they fucking crazy?

[Reply #24 on:]

They must be. Did the first one even make enough money for a sequel?

[Reply #25 on:]

The first one almost bankrupt squaresoft. They had to merge with Enix for either of the companies to survive.

[Reply #26 on:]

Then why the fuck would they make a sequel!? Are the makers of the movie trying to kill themselves? Because I could spare them the trouble.

No, they're not. He's just giving examples of movies that don't need sequels.

[Reply #29 on:]

Hmmm, it's actually gonna be called Mathilda.

Note to parents: NOT to be confused with the Roald Dahl based film of the same name (except without the 'h') 

[Reply #30 on:]

star wars should have been left alone.

there should be a sequel of "blood: the last vampire" saya kicks ass, and i wish we could see more of her in action...

Ah yeah, also, I heard there was going to be a sequel for Aliens... yes another one... it's going to focus on the droid that Winona Ryder played... which should be...

God Damn! Those Betoven movies about the fat ugly dog is up to number 5. They didn't even need to make the first one of those.

Of course the prequels man! the only good thing to happen to them was Natalie Portman.

Okay you people have to agree with me when I say that they should have never made that Land Before Time thing...grrrr!

No, we don't HAVE to. I'll have you know I still like the orginal. It's the other five million that bear its name that should be burned.

The sequel that never should have been made would be Home Alone 3 and 4. 3 features an entirely different kid and 4 tries to use different actors playing the characters from 1 & 2. Didn't work.

[Reply #38 on:]

Don't forget about Home Alone 5! Home Alone 3 was the crappy sequel, Home Alone 4 was the crappy TV-movie sequel, and Home Alone 5 was the crappy direct-to-video sequel.

[Reply #39 on:]

Yep, if a sequel is direct-to-video, it's a piece of shit.
