bluefox4000 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I totally don't enjoy Rocky 2. but i know some people that really do. Rocky wasn't always the brightest bulb. but in 2 he was just plain stupid. Mick For me, Rocky 2 was a big drop from part 1 but not as huge as some of the other movies already mentioned. Towards the beginning of Die Hard 2 there's a scene where the villain (played by William Sadler) is watching the news and doing some kind of martial arts exercises in the buff and looking all lean and sweaty. Why the hell was he naked though? To show how intense and concentrated he is? From that point I knew the movie was going to be an unintentional joke. oh man....That was a mistake in Die hard 2. the villian is so humorless coming off of Alan Rickman. Then came Jeramy irons and......all better, lol Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there was nearly a 20 year gap between my Die Hard viewings and all due to part 2's garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be worse than William Sadler's bare bum while exercising. I can't even remember part 4 tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Phantasm II was awful, and I love the original ... Texas Chainsaw Massacre II was bad too It's not really fair because both original films are classic, but the sequels were terrible to embarrassing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 And I'll add that Aliens was extremely disappointing .. All of the long atmospheric panning shots, dread and isolation of the original were cashed in for generic action I realize it is pointless for a sequel to feel more like a remake, but all of what made the original great was absent in Aliens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd change my vote today but my thoughts are nearly the same today as what I said in that original post http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/40551-alien-aliens-vs-terminator-1-2/page__hl__%20alien%20%20aliens%20%20terminator%20%20terminator__st__20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Predator 2. Unwatchable. Only saw part of that and gave up. Glover could never run even in the 1980s and Busey isn't believable enough to go up against an alien hunters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Terminator 2 is better than the original. The movie had better pacing, a better story, great special effects, and gave Arnold a chance to really step up as a complicated hero rather than an inherently one dimensional villain.

blueschica Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Grease 2. Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous. Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde. My daughters kept bringing sequels home from the library and expecting them to be as good as the originals. I don't expect you to feel my pain but it hurt to sit through these! And Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is a stinker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 http://reelchat.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/ghostbusters-2-logo.jpg I loved it as a kid in theaters and many viewings on hbo and Showtime but I have it a revisit before the female one and it has aged terribly. So dated in the late 80s motifs. I'll take Bobby Browns song over that lame Fallout Boy cover any day though. I'm a sucker for this New jack swing sound I grew up with. Men In Black II The 3rd one was better than it had any right to be though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What didn't you like about Batman Begins?No idea. It clearly made no major positive impression on me as at the time DK came out I had no recollection of seeing it. While watching DK I had to keep asking my friend about whether particular characters were in the first movie. Part 3 wasn't bad though. Frankly I'd rather watch 60s TV Batman over any of the movies.

I wouldn't call it slow though I might say it's smoldering...literally. And there is dialogue...though part of it is a fictional language (created by none other than Anthony Burgess) and the other is a mix of Cree/Inuit.
