Movie sequels can be exciting, but they don’t always live up to our expectations. Someone recently asked, “What is the worst movie sequel ever?” Here are the top 23 answers.
Kindergarten Cop 2 (2016)
“Yes, it does exist, and it is as bad as it sounds. Dolph Lundgren takes over the role of Schwarzenegger.”
“I saw this; it’s very, very bland. The plot, the acting, the writing, and the directing. It basically tried to redo the first one, but modern. It failed miserably.”
Speed 2: Cruise Control (1996)
“Speeding cruise ship. Horrendous dialogue. Keanu Reeves Is Gone. What on earth were they thinking?”
“Technically speaking, it is the worst sequel ever made. The Rotten Tomatoes scores between the first and second movie are the biggest chasm known; 94% vs. 7%.”
Son of the Mask (2005)
“It had a budget of 84 million, yet the baby looked like a mannequin for half the movie.”
“I went into mental rehab after watching that movie.”
Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)
“I knew it was bad when I was actively rooting for the main cast to die.”
“I saw it on opening day, hoping for a so-bad-it’s-good experience. But no, it’s just tedious and forgettable. The only thing I can even remember is that somehow a school bus full of orphans ended up being right next to the giant alien they were trying to nuke, which was at least a funny concept in how over-the-top it is.”
American Psycho (2002)
“It wasn’t even originally intended to be a sequel; they just shoved the name on it and added loose references to Patrick Bateman. Awful.”
“Mila Kunas stars in it. She was told it would be under a different name and was really angry when they ended up making it into a so-called sequel.”
Men in Black: International (2019)
“I was looking for this. I was a big Chris Hemsworth fan, but his roles have felt subpar lately. Men in Black was probably one of the worst films I’ve seen. I hated it.
“When I saw it had the same director as The Fast And The Furious, I didn’t even bother. I like when they put a disclaimer like that in the trailer.”
A Good Day To Die Hard (2012)
“It was so bad; at least ‘Live Free or Die Hard’ seemed to have a bit of fun.”
“They should have called it ‘A Good Day To Stay Home.'”
Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale (2009)
“It’s absolutely awful. The writer/director of the original seemed to hate that it happened and had no say in the sequel. I guess the studio just wanted to capitalize on it gaining cult status and threw it together with zero effort.”
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
“That movie doesn’t exist in my mind. Stupid to have made it without Rachel Weisz.”
“I loved the first two, but I couldn’t even make it 15 minutes into the third one.”
Mean Girls 2 (2011)
“I always forget it existed, and I’m always surprised whenever I see it again. Who thought that was a good idea? Just terrible, horrible, awful rubbish.”
“I literally saw that and forgot it existed; I must’ve blocked it from my brain.”
Battle Royale 2
“All they had to do was repeat the formula of the first, but they completely messed up.”
“BR is my favorite movie, but BR2 is so bad that I had to stop watching 30 minutes in. The plot is so dumb and nonsensical.”
Home Alone 3, 4 and 5
“Number 3 is okay If you just want America’s Funniest Home Videos – Criminal Edition with only slightly more scripting. 4 and 5 were really bad, though.”
“I barely remember what 4 was about and had forgotten that 5 existed until just now.”
Highlander II: The Quickening (1991)
“Apparently, the studio didn’t read the ‘there can only be one’ memo.”
“I had forgotten about that one. What an atrocity that was. I can’t imagine any worse sequel than this.”
Still Waiting (2009)
“What they did to Justin Long’s character completely undercuts the meaning of the first movie. And it had no Ryan Reynolds.”
“I think I made it about 30 minutes in before I turned it off. It was the same movie reusing the same jokes, but they were only able to get half the original cast back.”
The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission (1985)
“It’s a piece of garbage. Actors who were believable in the first installment come across as being worse than amateurs; their performances actually negatively impact the story.”
“The story is flimsy and ill-conceived. It honestly wouldn’t surprise me to learn that the writer had accidentally submitted a rough, contradictory outline, only to have the director shout they were going to start shooting it.”
Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (1996)
“Let’s just ignore everything that happened in the first movie because why not?”
“In fact, how about we pretend the first one never happened? Then we’ll never have to think about the second one either.”
Exorcist 2 (1977)
“It was alarmingly bad. Like, insanely bad.”
“It has to be seen to be believed. Like someone wrote the script during a bad acid trip.”
Cars 2 (2011)
“Cars 2 is a spy movie jammed in a movie franchise that has otherwise nothing whatsoever to do with spy movies. It’s about as jarring as if they made the next John Wick film a straight romantic comedy.”
“The first time I watched it, I was having streaming issues, and I blamed its inconsistencies on that. Then I went to re-watch it and was very surprised!”
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)
“The first movie was campy fun. Annihilation used CGI on a bunch of stuff that they couldn’t actually do, and the story/acting became terrible. It was not fun.”
“This is the correct answer. Annihilation is one of the worst movies ever put to film. It’s like four 8-year-olds were given a half million dollars and a film crew for a week. However, the sheer incompetence on display is a thing to behold.”
Starship Troopers 2 & 3
“While the original was no masterpiece, it was decent. The sequel was an abomination.”
“Wait till you watch the third. It ends with the sky Marshall singing opera with the bugs. Seriously.”
The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)
“I love the first one, but, my goodness, didn’t they slaughter it the second time.”
“They just tried to recreate the first one with a Mexican Rocco and ruined everything that was good about the first one. Terrible new Rocco, horrible new FBI agent, poor monologues, and worse villains.”
Marley and Me: The Puppy Years (2011)
“The first one is based on the relationship between a family and their dog (which is based on a true story). The prequel is Air Buddies but with a puppy-aged Marley.”
“So instead of leaving the original, with the dog dying, we get a puppy prequel where Marley talks and is trying to stop an evil person from ruining a dog show.”
Caddyshack II (1988)
“It tried to have a plot. And when you try to have a plot, you have to deliver. The original had a string of loosely connected skits, and it worked much better.”
“Easily the biggest dropoff from original to sequel.”
