10. Jurassic park 2: the lost world- taking nothing more than the title of the book, this monstrosity pulled in mad money- until everyone realized just what crap it really was.
9. Superman III- I know, I know; Superman II is one of the best while its follow-up is one of the worst. No wonder
8. Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions- The first movie rocked... the highly anticipated follow ups? Not so much. While the fight scenes were cool, all they did was establish a pattern of Fight, talk, fight, talk. While the story was still interesting, it kept getting stopped by inexplicably useless sex scenes and random rant in some foreign scientific language. The biggest fault, however, may be the final conclusion- that shamelessly leads into the online game. Oh well.
7. Start trek V- While by far the most original movie in the series, you just can't stop waiting for Kirk to steal the spotlight back from William Shatner.
6. Star trek Generations- Lame Lame lame lame lame. The follow up books are cool, but that doesn't stop the movie from being Lame lame lame.
5. Alien vs. Predator- I remember waiting for this movie ever since I was a kid. There were video games (most rocked) and comics (also fun) even talk of an animated show. While the fans wanted it, it never happened. Until it did. Unfortunately after seeing the movie most fans have returned to their longing, essentially pretending that the first movie never happened.
4. Highlander 2- Words cannot even begin to describe the idiocy of this sequel. Apparently there can be only one... until the studio needs to cash in on the franchise again. Oh well. I just don't understand how a studio can continue to make a series of movie that essentially does nothing more than retell the first movie in a different manner (although with the same ending...). Highlander 4, however, was a decent movie in comparison, but it should be seen as the movie version of Highlander: The Series.
3. Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones- the title really says it all, doesn't it? Poor acting, poor story telling, and so laden with special effects it's hard to find the actors. Fortunately two great things came from it> The clone wars cartoons and Yoda's saber fight.
2. Elektra- while more of a spin off, this movie may be one of the biggest disappointments to ever hit the screen (although some of that may have to do with daredevil's obvious absence and the mind boggling introduction of the new obsessive compulsive Elektra.
1. Batman and Robin- Oy. I'm still trying to clean my mind of this disaster. Tip to future film execs- Fuzzy slippers do make the villain scary, just not in any way that helps the movie.

Heh, yeah Batman and Robin sucked. There are SO many bad sequels out there it's hard to find GOOD examples like your earlier post.
Don't they have a funny little dialog about sequels and movies in Scream 2?
I'd have to say T2 was one of the best sequels ever in my book.
Bad sequels worthy of mention:
Blair Witch 2 - You can't top the original. How could you?
Napoleon Dynamite - Not sure if it's happening, but we all know it would make minor profit while sucking horribly.
ANY animated Disney sequel
Star Wars 1, 2, 3.
Dusk till Dawn 2, 3, etc.
The Crow 2
Oceans 12 - Julia Roberts playing herself? Still confused about that one.
JP2 - God awefull - First hour is down right unwatchable.
Superman 3 - Yeah they need to take the Brian Singer stance on the Alien series as well. KILL ALIEN 3 and 4
Matrix- What those were sequals?! - I thought it was just cut garbage from an MTV music video made by scientologists.
Star Trek - Star Trek V did suck badly and for the same reasons as Star Trek VII. William Shatner ruins more movies... Thats why his name is my favorite swear word.
AVP- Aliens didn't act like aliens , Preditors didn't act like Preditors, and what the hell was up with the PG-13 Rating?
Highlander - Cool concept , crapy exicution
Star Wars 2 - To be honest I like this movie. I left very happy. Infact it was the only prequal that I loved from the git go . That be said I will conceed all the flaws mentioned above. But hay I am a Star Wars addict. Oh yeah And the tag line is horrible. I think the Prequals are the biggest and best argument aganist a Indy Sequal.
Batman & Robin - Joel Sh**mocher should be shot for this movie. If they had of killed him then , he couldn't have killed the Phantom of the Opera, think about it. He MUST be stopped.
