Do sequels kill the original movies?!


Question: Do sequels kill the original movies!?
Okay no, Indiana Jones and Star wars are okay, and SOME of the batman were good (im talking about batman forever, that just killed it) are okay!. And Im talking about those sequels that you dont need!. Like in star wars, you needed it because there wasnt an ending until the 3rd one was made!. But if they made one now, it would just suck!.

But the last Indiana killed the original 3 (to me)
Home Alone had 3 horrible sequels
Shrek 2 and 3 were not good


I thinm sequels kill their originals, but thats in my opinion!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
l would agree with you on this!. Most sequels are made so they can rake in money again!. They pale in comparison to the first one!.Only a few manage to make a better sequel and got noticed by critics!.
The Scream movie is one example!.
Hannibal and The Exorcist on the other hand keeps adding to the original!. Both have prequels and sequels!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Honestly, if you're a true fan, you'll want more!. Some sequels may, but some are awesome and you love them!.

some sequels i loved were:
Scream 2
Scream 3
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End!.
Halloween, sequels 2, 4, 5, 7, 8!.
Saw sequels are great!.
and Hannibal, fantastic, may've been better than Silence of the Lambs!.

But lets say movies like Knocked Up, Borat, Superbad, comedy's like those don't need sequels, they'll ruin the original!. Horror movies need sequels though!.

i'm dying for another Halloween sequel!

its about making a legacy!.
Because some movies need to have sequels!.

But, like i said, if you're a true fan, you'll want more, if a sequel ruins the original for you, you're not really a true fan in the first place!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Indiana Jones, is not supposed to really be a time line type of movie, its more like this happened to this man during this time!. I liked the latest Indiana Jones movie, I'm glad that they tied in his life for once!.
But I hated all the sequels to the Pirates Of the Caribbean!. I thought the first one was the best, but the rest was just boring!. I think sometimes the producers try to get as much money as they can even if the movie sucks!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

In the old days!.!.!.tee hee!.!.!.sequels did make you sorry that you ever watched the first one

But with Die Hard, IMHO, a new element appeared-a "great sequel" I have now seen sequels outdoing the original and at the very least keeping up

It depends how much story line is involved in the first movie!. If you have only seen the second one and it's a sequel-it would make me want to go out and get the original!.

If the first one is good and the sequel is bad-it only kills the sequel & the writers for me!.

**I thought Home Alone was very clever, but I have to say that if they leave that kid home one more time I am calling Child Services!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Some sequels do "kill" the movie - but it's all about money and when you liked the first one the movie industry is betting you will see the second one - regardless of it's "worthiness!."

Some other sequels that I thought faired well included:

Pirates 1-3 - EXCELLENT

Jurrasic Park (the ending for the third one was pretty weak)

Austin Powers (1 and 2/ it seemed like they were "forcing the 3rd one down our throats)

Star Trek

The Fugitive/U!.S!. Marshalls - Both were fantastic!

Bad Boys 1 and II - Okay

Big Mamma's House 1 and II - Laughed my *&^& off on bothWww@Enter-QA@Com

While I'm of the opinion that sometimes it's best to eave well enough alone,Hollywood ups and does somethign almost incomprhensible!. They make a sequel that is almost better than the original!. Y'all know what I talkin about!."Alien"&"Aliens" "The Terminator&T2" "The Lord of The Rings Trilogy"maybe few others(I hope to God they don't ruin the new "Batman" films) but when they jump the shark!.!.!.!.JEEEEEEEEZUS!Www@Enter-QA@Com

not always, we however didn't need spiderman 3
resident evil extinction or american ninja 3,4,5 or 6!. totally redundant, those are all i can remember right now, tired!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Not always, especially if the movie ended on a cliff hanger!.
You need the sequels to complete the story!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Most sequels do fall flat, but Aliens was even better than Alien!. Star Trek II The Wrath of Kahn was incredible!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Most of the time, yes!. Most notable exceptions are Silence of the Lambs and Toy Story 2!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Not necessarily!.

In the words of Stu Macher from SCREAM:

"Cause let's face it, baby!. These days!.!.!. you gotta have a sequel!."Www@Enter-QA@Com

not always remakes doWww@Enter-QA@Com
