Has there ever been a bigger gulf in quality with a sequel

[DaRealness]

Avengers Age of Ultron. The first one was a classic and AAU was a disappointment.

Luckily Infinity War crushed and disintegrated the buildings and became an instant masterpiece and is arguably the greatest comic book movie of all time.

The Matrix was fine without the sequels IMO. Reloaded had its moments but it was definitely a step down, don’t get me started on Revolutions. Monica Belucci tho

 

[Human Torch]

Ninja turtles 2 & 3

Matrix sequels had grown man bars sprinkled throughout


Although it does feel like elites got wind of the franchise after the first one, and bogarted it

Can’t fake breh. As a young breh, II was dope. The intro is classic lol. As an adult tho, I get the issues. The tone change from the first is WOAT for a mature audience.

Im talking OG to sequels. Not sequels to trilogy. And certified classics. fukk is y’all naming Speed and Caddyshack for? Reloaded is ass in comparison. Didn’t even mention the creator being Colonel Sanders sitting in a multi TV room like 97 puff daddy

I lived it in real time breh. People loved Reloaded and was hyped for Revolutions. It's only slighted in retrospect because Revolutions was terrible and ruined the Matrix as a trilogy. Kind of like how the greatness of Lost was diminished because of how badly it ended.

Hell yeah. II was my favorite over 1 untill I grew up esp. the donatello change

Now the dialogue is so unnatural and audience laugher-chasing

yall nikkas love to hate on the matrix sequels. yall didnt deserve that piff

Reloaded was aight (I didn't like it that much at the time, but it aged fairly well) but Revolutions was complete ass.

The fight scenes were good (for the time) but the story went way off the rails. They just went completely overboard with the religious symbolism and the ending really didn't resolve anything.

Mortal Kombat 2 and the Hangover sequels own this thread.

Matrix 2 was too dope as its own movie to be mentioned in the same breath as the above.

 

[thenatural]

Caddyshack 2


Idk what it is about that dumb movie but I used to watch it everytime it was on back in the day. I still quote a few scenes too.

I'd say Major League 2 since part 1 for me is flawless.

Hey man, Randy Quaid was a beast in that movie. That office scene still has me cooking. Plus Marsha Warfield got a check.

Netflix reminded me that Boondock Saints 2 is hot garbage

Yeah, Quaid was having fun.

The Peter Blunt system.

Have you ever tried putting with a wedgy?

 

[Cadillac]

Reloaded has one of the GOAT fight sequences/scenes ever tho

^^^^^^^^ Neo vs all those agents is s

 

[Yade]

MK 2

I must’ve been 5 years old when I watched the first one and was immediately hyped from the ending and seeing Shou Khan

I remember watching it and seeing it had new actors I knew at that moment even as a kid it wasn’t going to be good , plus they made Raiden weird as fukk

 

[HHR]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Sicario 2 is an enormous falloff

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

^^^^^^^^ Neo vs all those agents is s

Neo vs the Merovingian goons while Morpheus vs twins both transitioning into the car/motorcycle chase and the agents joining in >>>

That whole sequence is the illest in the trilogy.

 

[Black Ball]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Sicario 2 is an enormous falloff

Was looking forward to watching this.
