Movies are great. That must mean that the sequel will be even better right? Wrong. If a movie is successful in the box office, then the director makes another. In turn, if that movie succeeds, then there's another. This series continues until the movies loses its shine. According to Ericka Ramsey, a senior at Kenwood Academy, movie sequels "depend on the movie. There's really no point for sequels." Agreed.
Some movies sequels are actually pretty good. For example, movies like the Lord of the Rings series, and for Kenwood Academy senior Tommie Barlow, "Super Hero sequels are the best. It's going to be awesome with a capital A." And then we have the bad sequels. Has anyone ever seen Jaws: The Revenge? If you haven't then good for you. This film earned the lowest amount of money in the box office and was heavily criticized for its unrealistic plot line. Talk about milked dry.
Every movie does not need a sequel, no matter how good it was. Sometimes its better to leave things as they are. Unfortunately, director Charles Herman-Wurmfield missed that memo. the first Legally Blond movie was actually pretty good, however, Legally Blond 2: Red White and Blond is another one of those horrid sequels. In this movie, Reese Witherspoon's character goes searching for her dogs birth mother. Are you serious?
Directors seem to be getting a tad carried away with second, third, and even forth installments of the same movie. Some of these movie makers lack so much originality, that we almost have to give them credit for their courage. Fans get tired of the same old stuff. We want something new. If you would like to see more examples of some less than extraordinary movie sequels, then give this site a visit. After spending ten dollars to get into the movies and another ten dollars to buy snacks and such, I would be ever so happy if I got to see a GOOD movie.
