What sequels should have never been made, because they ruin the original film by simple association.

The Matrix Sequels
The Star Wars Prequels
Batman Forever and Batman and Robin
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Superman III and IV
Superman Returns
X-Men The Last Stand
Rocky V
While I was excited for it, Oliver Stone fucked up Wall Street 2, so that shouldn't have been made.
List some more later.

A better thread might be which sequels surpass the original film?

I know it has its fans, but Grease 2 for me.

The Exorcist II (and really all of its sequels, since it wasn't a film screaming out to be franchised). But what a piece of dogshit 2 is.
The Rocky Horror semi-sorta-sequel Shock Treatment is a mess that I just can't get into, despite retaining half of the original cast. Recasting the roles of Brad and Janet isn't such a big deal, but the loss of Tim Curry hurts - and even if they'd all been there, I'm still not sure it would have salvaged a messy plot that doesn't have a single song as catchy as anything in Rocky.
More American Graffiti is wildly unnecessary. The ending of the original film essentially tells you what happened to the characters - did we really need a second movie to spell out what we already knew? It's not really a _bad_ movie, but it's not a very good one either, and its overall style (constantly jumping around between timeframes, multiple aspect ratios) condemned it to being both confusing and nearly unwatchable on 4x3 televisions in the pre-DVD days.
And I assume someone's already mentioned Grease 2?

Ah, I see Grease 2 has indeed been mentioned, heh.
While I'm at it, LED's on point with Staying Alive. I only saw it because I wandered into it on TV one afternoon years ago and found myself unable to turn away from the trainwreck no matter how badly I wanted to. It's one of those movies that you can't help but wonder how somehow throughout the entire production process, apparently nobody noticed what a strange, terrible film they were making.

I actually like Stallone's work on Rocky's II and III. Not quite as much as the first one, but not far off.

Was Wall Street 2 that bad? I TIVO'd it months ago but haven't been able to bring myself to watch it. It's worth seeing, because it's great to see Douglas back in the role - but Shia is no Charlie Sheen's Bud Fox and they kind of pussy out at the end, instead of what they could have done per the real life financial crisis. |

I know it has its fans, but Grease 2 for me. This, and Speed 2. I saw about 10 minutes of G2 and had to turn it off. Speed 2, I haven't watched. I adore the first film too much to destroy my memory of it. |

Same guy who did Grease 2 was responsible for another horrible, pointless sequel: Airplane 2 I'll totally agree that Airplane 2 is pointless, but damned if it doesn't still make me giggle (when it's not just repeating scenes from the first film, anyway). And if I remember right, A2 was written by Al Jean & Mike Reiss who wrote some of the greatest early Simpsons episodes... and then now Al Jean seems to be the guy primarily responsible for running the show into the ground, having served as the showrunner ever since Season 13. |

I LOVE Rocky II and III. Could do without the rest. Rocky Balboa was a bit better than the others but still pretty clunky. Totally agree.....first three and the last. IV and V suck. Five because it's just fucking dreadful and four because it's the Red Dawn of boxing movies....let's go get the Ruskies, go America(!!), etc. I hate that shit. |

T2 is a great sequel, not as good as the original by any stretch, but good stuff. Predator 2 anyone? I think that's a very underrated film. I like it just fine. |

How about the Robocop sequels?
I think 2 had some potential if they would've used Frank Miller's orignal script....and 3....eh.
Shit...now that I think about it....fuck the Robocop sequels.
