    Let’s be trustworthy, most motion pictures do not want sequels. Except they’ve plans for launching a bigger franchise or they have been tapped to proceed a long-running collection, when most screenwriters write a movie, they don’t do it desirous about limiting the pure construction of a narrative: a whole character’s journey that ought to not want an enlargement.

    Does this imply that each one sequels are pointless? Under no circumstances. Many have even managed to forged a shadow over the unique, and discussions of which sequels are higher than the unique are all the time entertaining. Nonetheless, within the case of the next motion pictures, they served little or no objective and did nothing to increase on the unique. Listed here are 10 of essentially the most pointless film sequels ever produced.

    Pace 2: Cruise Management doesn’t precisely comply with up on the occasions from the primary film. Annie, Sandra Bullock’s character, simply finds herself on a cruise together with her new beau, Alex. Aboard the cruise ship, there’s additionally a sociopath who hacks into the computer systems and sends the cruise ship “full velocity” in direction of an oil tanker. Guess who saves the day once more.

    Keanu Reeves’ Greatest Resolution Ever

    Keanu Reeves stepped apart and let Jason Patric take over. Sadly, Bullock couldn’t refuse, and he or she starred in a movie that may ship the franchise plans down the drain. An uninspired and unthrilling motion movie that’s purported to make you tense aboard the slowest automobile ever, it solely labored to make twentieth Century Fox notice that Keanu Reeves was proper and Pace 2: Cruise Management was merely pointless.

    Terminator Genisys retells the story we all know from the very first Terminator movie. A T-800 is shipped again in time to Los Angeles in 1984 to kill Sarah Connor. Nonetheless, Sarah and one other T-800, one which raised her, reprogram it in what can solely be assumed to be an alternate universe. Kyle Reese additionally arrives in 1984 to do his enterprise of defending Sarah, however he arrives in a timeline the place John, Sarah’s son, has really change into a Terminator. Confused?

    A Film Everybody Would Moderately Overlook

    Six years after Terminator Salvation was launched, Genisys tried to save lots of the franchise, and whereas it appears to have been a well-liked movie with audiences (this one introduced Arnie again), the movie simply didn’t make sense regarding the timeline. We all know it’s futile to ask questions in terms of a time journey franchise, however this one felt extra like a money seize that attempted to retcon every thing we had seen previously.

    Independence Day: Resurgence follows humankind’s progress twenty years after they defeated the aliens through the invasion that featured Will Smith kicking main alien butt. This time, they’ve reverse-engineered alien expertise to defend the planet towards one other invasion, which options the little inexperienced males having psychic connections with people, together with former president Whitmore.

    We Waited Twenty Years for This?

    Roland Emmerich returned for a sequel that nobody wanted and delivered a generic and forgettable sci-fi thriller that managed to make nearly $400 million, but it surely was nonetheless too costly to provide. Sure, we all know it’s purported to be a tacky movie, however this one had zero ambition to be as efficient as the primary movie was. This time, the nostalgia aspect did not work in any respect.

    Don’t Breathe 2 doesn’t function a lot of a connection to the horror thriller a couple of gang of thieves messing with a blind villain who had a darkish secret. We’re supposed to just accept that Norman Nordstrom, the previous Navy SEAL who kidnapped girls as a way to impregnate them, is now a blind hero who simply needs to save lots of his daughter from those that kidnap her.

    Not a Dangerous Film, however Nonetheless Utterly Pointless

    The movie was met with an nearly toxic backlash after the trailer featured the monstrous man being portrayed as a hero. The shift in his character was simply too controversial. In the long run, it was an ultraviolent motion thriller that showcased Stephen Lang’s abilities, however nothing greater than that. The large query is: may a 3rd movie be the repair for the franchise?

    ‘The Complete Ten Yards’ (2004)

    Sadly for The Complete Ten Yards, all of the comedy cleverly relevant to the crime setting was already used within the first film. The sequel, a toned-down, extra naive follow-up to the primary story, tells the story of Oz and Jimmy The Tulip as they’ve change into household males, however Jimmy’s former mob boss comes again for revenge.

    The One No one Remembers

    In the event you’re making an attempt to make a related sequel, then you definately wish to up your recreation a bit, proper? As a substitute, The Complete Ten Yards is a ridiculous PG-13 comedy that makes use of each gag on the market to painting Jimmy as a rehabilitated man. It’s nowhere close to as humorous as the primary, and it did nothing for the careers of its stellar comedy forged. The Rotten Tomatoes rating sits at 4%, and late actor Matthew Perry attributed his lack of participation in motion pictures to the horrible reception of this pointless sequel.

    After Jaws 3-D was critically panned and proved that the franchise needed to finish, Common Photos mogul Sidney Sheinberg determined a fourth entry was nonetheless vital. In any case, he needed to promote the Jaws experience positioned on the Common Studios theme park. That’s how Jaws: The Revenge was born, a dull sequel that’s impressively mediocre and ridicules every thing Steven Spielberg created in 1975.

    The Sequel That Buried an Complete Franchise

    Jaws: The Revenge follows Ellen Brody, Chief Brody’s widow, who’s satisfied that an incredible white shark is out for revenge. It even follows her to the Bahamas. The premise is absurd, however then so is all the movie. It exhibits the shark as a monstrous, sentient mammal that’s in a position to break the foundations of physics if it permits the particular results group to indicate off the worst results of the franchise. It wasn’t solely pointless, it was really an insult.

    Maybe the concept of sending Jason Vorhees to area sounds cool, however the 2001 execution of such an concept was not superb. Jason X sees people sooner or later reawakening the slasher killer after he was frozen for hundreds of years. As he morphs right into a cyborg-like creature, you get the concept that Jason X is B-movie insanity at its fullest.

    The Money Seize Not Even Horror Followers Appreciated

    However is Jason X really interesting to B-movie followers? Apart from the franchise’s greatest kill, there’s not a lot right here to recycle. The sci-fi slasher film has horrible particular results and didn’t add a lot to the lore of what was already a burned-out franchise. This one exists as a result of they ran out of concepts, however hey, at the very least it options horror grasp David Cronenberg in a really brief cameo.

    Son of the Masks is supposedly a sequel to Jim Carrey’s distinctive 1994 comedy. Nonetheless, it solely connects to the unique by that includes the identical magic masks and… nothing else. It follows animator Tim Avery conceiving a child whereas carrying the tremendous masks that offers powers to people, and Loki, the mythological god, making an attempt to get ahold of the identical masks.

    The Worst Sequel of All Time?

    Not solely was Son of the Masks an pointless standalone sequel, it was additionally a disappointing mess of a film that wasn’t humorous or interesting. It had Jamie Kennedy, throughout his couple of minutes of fame, desperately making an attempt to evoke what Carrey had completed earlier than. The CGI is sweet generally, however in the long run, it was an apparent try to capitalize on an idea that was solely worthwhile within the arms of a genius.

In the meantime, Owen and Claire increase a lady whereas making an attempt to guard dinosaurs, and unique Jurassic Park figures Ellie Sattler, Alan Grant, and Ian Malcolm attempt to reveal Biosyn’s shenanigans.

    When Pure Nostalgia Doesn’t Work

    The movie is a loud and costly mess that did not assist the brand new trilogy, and was solely a nostalgic film directed by somebody who believed that bringing again outdated characters and giving them a skinny storyline was sufficient. The character arcs did not make sense, and it was the right motive to hunt one other route for an inevitable new trilogy that can certainly attempt to retcon this money seize.

    The Matrix Resurrections is a posh return to the franchise that was very laborious to digest. In some way, Neo remains to be inside a (model of the) Matrix, and he continuously takes blue drugs to “keep inside.” After the primary trilogy, you’ll have thought that it wasn’t essential to go chasing the white rabbit once more, but it surely’s really the premise of essentially the most pointless Matrix sequel.

    Positively Not the Greatest They May Have Performed

    An uninspired revival that felt overly sophisticated and thinly written, The Matrix Resurrections may have been a worthy follow-up in the event that they stored issues easy and adopted the unique storyline. As a substitute, they went for an extreme variety of new characters, a meta strategy that was terribly laughable, and horribly written villains.
