3rd Movie Killed the Series

[Mercy Medical]

Basically, what series had great first two movies (or even a great and then good one) and the third one just fucked it all up.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Home Alone

Good one!

Back to the Future. I wouldn't say the third one really killed the series, but it wasn't quite up to par with the first 3.

Matrix. I thought the third was shit, but personally they started going downhill with the 2nd.

[AreTwoKay]

The Karate Kid series got out of hand after the first movie

[weezer182]

jurassic park

[Mercy Medical]

jurassic park
Ooo, another good one...although that start to go downhill a bit even during the 2nd. But honestly now, how could you even get close to the first movie? I remember when I saw it and the CGI was revolutionary. It was crazy.

[Broken Parachute]

Planet of the Apes.

First one was great, even the second. I would even say the third was good. But after the first three, the series started getting boring. Especially when they made that final sequel in 2001. It's still one of my favorite movie series though.

[lucky_krystle]

i love the lord of the rings... but the last one should have ended 10 times before it actually did!
i swear we stood up and were ready to walk out of the theater several times before the credits finally rolled.

Haha did I inspire this thread Kara?

Anyway, I'll go with The Mighty Ducks. D2 would have been a good way to end it.

Did you make the Home Alone comment in the other thread? I can't even remember. Ugh, I need some caffeine in my body if I'm going to go to this party tonight...lol

For some reason I can't get off east coast time.

Ahah yeah, I did. Get some Redbull, that's always a good pick me up.

[Mercy Medical]

Fuckin' Redbull tastes like shit. I prefer Amp, Full Throttle or Monster. Monster doesn't taste all that great, but it works.

Haven't tried any of those, but I'm sure they all get the job done.

[Mercy Medical]

I swear, the worst the energy drink tastes, the better it works. Monster works better for me then Full Throttle, but Full Throttle tastes a hell of a lot better.

aliens

aliens
Hmmm, I semi contest that. I love all the Alien movies. I didn't think Alien Resurrection was horrible. Of course, I am biased because the Alien legacy are some of my favorite movies of all time.

The one in 2001 was not a sequel.

[odnetnin]

American Pie is releasing another movie and it sucks. It is about Stifler's brother or some shit.



Also, even all of them suck, I have reason to think the final Scream movie is infact final.

compared to the first 2 the rest are weak i'd say.

True, they aren't as good as the first 2, but I still like 'em. I don't think they're bad.

But the last one was fucking awsome.

i really thought the alien resurection plot was stupid, and how many times is somebody turning out to be a robot a suprise?

Haha, this is true. Did you hear that they were talking about doing a 5th one, although I heard that quite some time ago so I don't know if they're actually doing it or not. I LOVE Sigorney Weaver as that character though.

back before she was some alien mix i liked it, now it's like the whole essence of the series is off, it used to be her being really scared of them, now she damn near humps them.

I actually liked D3. I thought Charlie's arrogance was pretty cool. Haha. It sucked when Hans bit the dust though.

i haven't heard anything, i hope what you heard is a lie though, they've done enough damage.

They've been talking about it since I think I was a freshman in college, so it's been a while. I doubt anything is really going on.

that's good, cause it's needed about as much as a 60 year old rocky

Oh good lord, I can't believe they're doing that.

Also, wants a new Indiana Jones in the works with Harrison Ford again?

Haha, so true.

[open mind]

land before times sequels also sucked, it didn't even need a 3rd one to destroy the series, cause the second one did the job just fine............i think their one their 15th movie now though.

The first is such a classic...I haven't seen the others though.

the first was great, i saw the 8th one i think and it was like it could have been put together by a moderatly talented 4th grader.
one of the songs went something like this.......... "when things get rough you gotta get rougher, something something something something, i'm tough"

[SingleDoubt]

Terminator
terminator 3 was awesome. i think that halloween 3 really killed the series (well, if you want to count actual Michael Myers movies, then #4 killed the series). halloween 1 and 2 were awesome (especially the way they continued halloween 2 on the same night as the original) but pretty much anything after those (except maybe the director's cut of halloween 6) was complete shite

there are 11 of those god damned movies.

imdb.com is osm

[lucky_krystle]

You didn't just say that...

i did, but i also said i do love lord of the rings.
i even went to the exhibit in indianapolis! (which was awesome might i add)

[chroma23]

I'm shocked nobody has said the most famous one.... The Godfather.

[somethingyellow]

though there was only 2 of these movies, dumb and dumberer was a horrible

[open mind]

i think they made 3 major league movies, but that also was destroyed by the sequel, and the first wasn't really the greatest to begin with.

[brodudeman123]

Fuck, good call. That was hideous.

[Brownpants06]

matrix (although 2nd and third are both crap)
star wars (entire new series is crap)
rocky
oh, and i forgot one

jaws

so basically.... yea. you get the point.

[Talib Scottie]

jurassic park
I thought 2 killed that. 3 was much better but they should have only made the first one.

[Talib Scottie]

Rocky was good until the fifth one.

[Adeniz19]

scream

[Talib Scottie]

How many 'I know what you did last summer" did they squeeze out? I remember Jennifer Love Hewitt, Fredie Prinze Jr, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillipe were in one of them. Brandy was in one too. They sucked.

[Talib Scottie]

scream
I only like it because of Mathew Lillard. For some reason I'm a fan of him.

[CROMagnon]

i was just about to say the same thing

they gradually slipped from teen horror to soft porn over the course of the movies.

[radiofriendly]

superman III. i mean, god bless Richard Pryor, but...my goodness...

[oldwirehands]

Problem Child 3... or was it 4? I don't know how many they made but they should have stopped after 3. I hate when they change a character becomes a different actor than the original. Only few series can do that. James Bond films being one of them.

[oldwirehands]

Whatever tickles my penis.

TMNT 3 is one of the worst movies ever made.

And that is a tradgedy.

So true, the first two were excellent. I third was just...ugh.

We must find the director...and end his sorry life.

I have the first two on DVD and would like to buy the 3rd just to have the whole set because I'm a big TMNT fan, but it's so bad...

Haha. I was out looking at movies and stuff yesterday for gifts and I saw the box set.

Needless to say I got very upset that the third movie was included.

[Broken Parachute]

I forgot, did anyone say Scream yet? I just watched Scream 3 last night.

[DroppedUrPocket]

A few times. Haha.

I just thought of another.

Scary Movie.

Haloween
Night of the living dead

[jeremyfromva]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned:

An American Tale


They should have left it at one...I think there are 4 of them now

[preppyak]

I'm shocked nobody has said the most famous one.... The Godfather.
damn, I was hoping this hadn't been mentioned yet.

The first two are incredible. Part II may be the best film ever made, I'd personally give it a nod over Citizen Kane.

i love the lord of the rings... but the last one should have ended 10 times before it actually did!
i swear we stood up and were ready to walk out of the theater several times before the credits finally rolled.

Yep, when they bow down to the hobbits, they should have cut to pictures and subtitles I thought. I haven't read the books, and I understand the purpose of the final parts, but they drew it out for far too long. Getting them to the Shire and calling it a movie should have taken about 10-15 minutes less.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Home Alonehaha, i agree.

[sleepygrlgreen]

[Throwback]

i love all the screams, no matter how retarded they are.
I hate S3 passionately. The first one is awesome though.

[Mercy Medical]

Okay, for the people sayng stuff about LOTR the last one being too long, they cut out even more from the end to make it shorter. When they actually go back to the shire it's all destroyed and stuff AND Sauromon gets killed by Wormtongue on the way back to the shire. If they would've just cut it off at everyone bowing down to the hobbits it would've pissed off a lot of people that have read the book, like me. There should have actually been 6 movies, not three because technically there were 6 books. There's two different books and stories per actual book, if that makes any sense. Sorry, I'm a big LOTR nerd, so I gotta stick up for it. :)

Batman - Batman and Robin

Joel Schumacher made a mockery of the dark night but thankfully with the release of the incredible Batman Begins all is not lost.

ah, so much wrong with this post...
Halloween 3 didn't do anything to the rest of the series. it's a film that you either love or hate. but any way you look at it, it's a very interesting and solid Sci-Fi horror movie.

and Halloween 4 is the one of the best, and my personal favorite, entries in the series. i hold H4 as the only one comparable to the original. If any Halloween sequel ruined the series, it was Halloween 5, which drew in the least money out of all the movies and was really the first real generic slasher entry.
and it's Halloween 6 Producer's Cut. not directors

[The Don]

The third Beethoven movie. C'mon, what's a Beethoven movie without the nerdy kid from Step-by-Step?

[whiteboypain]

Halloween.....i think the 5th one is one of the worst movies ive ever seen. I don't remember what the 4th one and so on is like. "Halloween" (the original) was the best..

The first major league is a classic. Bub Uecker is amazing in it.

Reloaded and Revolutions just killed the genius of the first one.
