Most often, but not always, movie sequels are trash. ( IMO ) follows: 1- Alien ( 1979 ), I loved it. Aliens ( 1986 ), I loved it. But from then on, the sequels totally sucked ( IMO ). 2- Predator ( 1987 ), I loved it. Predator 2 ( 1990 ), I loved it. After that... trash. 3- AVP: Alien vs. Predator ( 2004 ), the exception to the rule. I loved it. However, this too was followed by trash movies. 4- Jaws ( 1975 ), I loved it. Contrary to most movie-goers, I don't care for any of the sequels. 5- Jurassic Park ( 1993 ), I loved it. 6- The Lost World: Jurassic Park ( 1997 ), I liked it. 7- Jurassic Park III ( 2001 ), I liked it with complaints. The producers had decided that a third movie needed a new monster. So, they suped-up ( reinvented ) Spinosaurus to outdo the real "King of the Dinosaurs" - bad call. After J.P.3, all other sequels totally suck. 8- Lake Placid ( 1999 ), I loved it. All sequels sucked. 9- Tremors ( 1990 ), I loved it. All sequels sucked.

It is hard to develop new ideas often time sequels do not earn as much as the original.

It is hard to develop new ideas often time sequels do not earn as much as the original. With the right writers, directors, and actors, a sequel can shine as brightly as the original. I liked the first sequel to both Alien and Predator as much as I did the originals. But then, the stories took a nose dive. Alien 3 was horrible. If you recall, Ripley went through an ordeal keeping the little girl alive on Aliens. Then, in Alien 3, you learn that aliens were on the ship and they killed the little girl. *What kind of sick freak wrote that horrible script? In the sequel to AVP, the entire movie is so dark that you're mostly just watching a black screen - WTH!

Once in a blue moon a sequel may offer something the original didn't and that puts it on par with the original. But normally the sequels fall short. I think some of that is you know what the story is going to be about already, the freshness of the storyline is old hat just some new characters introduced here and there with a few more things thrown in but basically the same plot.

I agree, and often bringing back the same humorous parts which are not so funny a second round. Most movies have no need of a sequel and those where a sequel works, one is usually plenty. But, as long as a movie theme brings in the green, Hollywood will keep pumping them out. Thus we now have 'Halloween 793' and 'Friday the 13th 847'.

a spiderman sequel is coming out this December. For most movies; if there are sequels, a trilogy should be enough. But Marvel and DC - keep pumping them out; just don't get too stupid with them.

Katching... katching.... the sound of ticket sales. Long as they continue to be money makers they likely will continue.
