A Few of the Worst Sequels of All Time

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown:  I had a meltdown during this film. Everybody loved the first Ice Age film. How did Pixar react to this? They shoved Ice Age and it's characters down viewers throats til Ice Age memories where a cache of pain and resentment. It is now impossible for me to use the words Ice Age and funny in one sentence (not including this one).

Spider Man 3: Peter Parker turns into a first class jerk, Kirsten Dunst attempts to sing opera and sand gets everywhere. God help us. On the bright side, spider-man nearly gets beaten to death near the end.

Shrek 2: It seems like there is a curse on all animated kids movies. The sequel is going to suck. Don't bother fighting it. Don't even try to have an open mind. It's the sad fate of all of these films. Shrek becomes a human. And Donkey turns into a horse. Joy!

Virtually every character in the second movie is annoying, particularly Pinocchio. And the cat. And the gingerbread man. And Prince Charming. And the king. The list goes on and on.

 After the first movie, they all got pretty bad. Shrek 3 hardly brought anything new. But the same annoying characters are there.

Death to the Prince!

Sam: As I was sitting in a freezing movie theater in a universe near you, my head was just whirling. It was making lists and correcting things and wondering if the film (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time) could possibly get worse. I was gritting my teeth as the thoughts in my head almost boiled over. Yeah, I'm a hater.

Justin:

It was very obvious that the king's brother would want the throne. From the moment the narrator said that the king had a brother, I knew that he would want to remove his brother so he could rule. That kind of story is very overused. Though for a while, I did think that Dastan's brother had killed the king.

Also, I was annoyed by the princess' character. The way she acted was very---

Sam: Oh, God!  She is played by that same girl who simply refused to die in Clash of The Titians. I was like, 'Shut up, woman. You're not that pretty.' Also, what kind of name is 'Dastan'? I was flinching every time they said it. This movie follows the classic adventure plot: Young dude 'destined' to be a hero. Throw in some magic, a princess and a the constant Disney message. 'Just follow your heart'. 

Gosh, I love writing for this blog. It's like therapy.

Justin:

At least the Prince of Persia title is good in video game industry. The only good thing about this movie was the action. I actually enjoyed watching the prince run around the rooftops and killing bad guys. I also liked the knife-thrower guy. He was the movie's best character. Part of what made me like him was that he actually kept his mouth shut. 

Sam: So what this film really needed was a more refreshing and revieting script, better actors and maybe some new names. Otherwise, ze Prince of Perisa is 'destined' to be a box office flop.
