You've got to be kidding. The Wachowski's bloated incoherent Matrix sequels were so off target I could barely watch them. I'd put Neo right up there along side Indiana Jones as far as treatment from the producers go. The swish brothers seemed to have had a real good time destroying the Matrix story.
Only Godfather II and Empire Strikes Back stand out as decent movie sequels. All of the following movies in both of those series were terrible.
Terminator 2 was a good one...imo...i agree about The Matrix sequels.
The 2nd Superman, the Alien(s) sequel, Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight and Rocky 2 were successful financially and will stand the test of time. Blade 2 was more than OK as well.
The 2nd Resident Evil was dreadful, the 2nd Mummy was NOT necessary and the 2nd X Men was cornball cliche.
Yes, they said. We trusted them that much. We believed in them that much. And it's gonna be GREAT.
And looking back, I am beginning to think that all three of them had that sinking feeling. They had to promote the movie and get people psyched up to go see it. But they knew the sequels sucked and this was their way of signaling to others in the industry: Dude, we had no idea what we were getting into. We didn't read the scripts! Don't blame us!
