    Name some of the sequels from cinematic classics or regular movies that you don't like, maybe the Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 or whatever

    Any Jurassic Park after the first one; Any Ice Age or Shrek sequel; Blade Trinity; The Star Wars prequels; X-Men Last Stand and X-Men Apocalypse............ I could go on but I don't want to as it's just depressing how unoriginal Hollywood actually is now!

    A list for good sequels would be far shorter. When did sequels become common? Did films of the 60's have sequels?

    It is true that I like some movie sequels and prequels, but I can't think of any ;)

    If it counts, Hoopa and the Clash of Ages was an awful movie.

    Lion King original: one of the best cartoon movies ever. Lion King 2: Awful!!!

    Lord of the Rings trilogy: the BEST movie ever! The Hobbit trilogy: I was so defraudated that I didn't go to cinema to see the third movie

    Anyone who's read the movie review thread knows my thoughts on Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom

    Some of the ones I can think of are Independence Day: Resurgence, Mulan 2, Son of the Mask, Dumb and Dumber 2, Batman and Robin, Batman v Superman, Spiderman 3, Jaws the Revenge, The Hangover Part 3, and Evan Almighty.

    I don't think Batman v Superman was a sequel to Man of Steel. If anything Justice League is a sequel to it.

    I watched the Honest Trailer for it a while back, and when it got to the bit with the hybrid dino winking and smiling at the camera (while that guy was trying to steal a tooth) I was just like "????!!?"

    I am never going to watch the movie itself.

    (The Pitch Meeting video of it is really good too)

    Isn't Lion King 2 supposed to be one of the better straight-to-video Disney sequels?

    I couldn't believe what I was watching. That's probably the lowest point of the whole film, though there are a lot of moments that aren't much better.

    Pitch Meetings are almost always great! @Brum sent me the CinemaSins EWW for JW the other day, too, which I found to be surprisingly light on sins for a series that regularly sins compliments it gives to movies.

    Is there one good straight-to-video Disney sequel? Hell, how many straight-to video sequels are there?

    The general consensus seems to be that the most solid direct-to-video Disney sequels are Lion King 2, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, and Cinderella 3. Even though I haven't seen all of them, I think it's a safe bet to say that none of them are as good as or better than the movies they're based on.

    I don't know what is a "straight-to" video, but maybe is one of the better for you. It lacks everything that makes Lion King 1 the magnific movie that it was. It's just horrible and I never would recommend anyone to see it.

    Straight to video just refers to the fact that it wasn't released in theaters and just got a home video/DVD release.
    Lion King 2 certainly isn't as good as the original, but I'd still watch it over, say Cinderella 2 or Little Mermaid 2.
