Is this really a good idea?
Are they just 'get rich quick' scams. Is it just because the first movie hit the big time, we'll make another and make even more bucks!
With some movies, like Austin Powers for example, we welcome the sequel with open arms (and to be quite honest I preferred The Spy Who... to the first Powers movie), but then we see the other movies like Speed for instance, and then came Speed 2 Cruise Control - I mean what was that all about? They couldn't even get Keanu Reeves to play his character again so they just decided to shoot the film anyway, maybe they were hoping nobody would notice!!!
The Police Academy saga was excellent in its day, we all enjoyed those movies, but come on - talk about milking something, the Academy films were eventually sucked dry.
What about the Nightmare on Elm Street movies? Well I think thats enough said already!
Now the Scream saga seems to be getting longer. Friday is joined by its Next Friday - which doesn't even compare to the original Friday.
Then we have The Godfather trilogy, which I believe was written to become a three part story. These are very well created films that follow each other with real meaning.
Now I hear of The Matrix 2. I hope Keanu is actually starring in this one!!! I adore The Matrix with its complex storyline and amazing effects. The extras on the DVD are certainly not to be missed. But seriously can this sequel equal?
