You know what else I can’t stand? In sequels when there is a major discrepancy of facts between the original and the second movies. Take, for example, Beauty and the Beast. During the end of the first one, the Beast gets transformed back into a human, right? Then in the second one, he’s a beast again? What is up with that? So annoying.

hmmm touche, Carfi, I forgot about that one
I think the Lion King one is funnier but it’s hard to tell which one’s better overall

I agree with you both. And great example Alex. Pretty much the only exceptions i can think of are Toy Story 2, Spider-Man 2, and the Dark Knight.

The problem with sequels is that everything is so familiar, unless you completely change things it just feels like you’ve been there already. And you start to like the characters less.

Tera-Lynne, I somewhat agree too. For example National Treasure was completely ruined by the second one (and now I hear there’s a third). And Keith, that scene was hilarious but it’s not the best:

In my opinion, Disney should never do sequels. It completely kills the movie and i personally don’t want to watch it (and sometimes the original too) ever again. I can’t think of a disney sequel that actually came out in theatres, further proving that they all are bad.
I have one exception though, any movie done by PIXAR is pure genius. Their sequels are different…dare i say funny?

Oh and by the way, this excerpt from the Lion King is the best scene from any movie, ever:

Jeeze Andrew don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
Actually, Lion King 1 1/2 is the original Lion King story shown/told from Timone and Pumba’s point of view. It doesn’t really beat the original but it’s probably funnier.

What the heck is a 1 1/2?
is it the original with half of it being new?
worst idea ever and it probably did suck
