Jack Nevada Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I agree. :ph34r:In fact, ROTS is one of my favorites of the entire saga. Mine too! To me, the order is1. The Empire Strikes Back (duh)2. A New Hope3. Revenge of the Sith4. Return of the Jedi5. The Attack of the Clones*fifty meters of diarrhea*1300.

yads Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Star Trek vs. Star Trek II: Wrath of KahnI take your point, and the leap in quality between 1 and 2 is gigantic, but I still wouldn't call TMP a bad movie. It's insanely edited - but had it been the 90 minute movie it should have been, it would be fine. I really like some of the Spock stuff... but they really made a weird decision trying to mimic the pacing of 2001.Wrath of Khan though. Great movie.

Letsuseournoggin Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Desperado was a good sequel to a not so great movie, El Mariachi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnetMan Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I agree. :ph34r:In fact, ROTS is one of my favorites of the entire saga. I think ROTS greatly, GREATLY benefits from being the first decent entry (in my opinion - of course it's my opinion, dang, why do I feel compelled to clarify that all the time?) in the prequels. I was one of those people who lived his whole life worshiping the OT and then I was crushed by TPM. And AOTC I couldn't stand. It frustrated me in so many ways.

Jack Nevada Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Attack of the Clones is still a terrible movie, but I thought the arena scene was pretty cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letsuseournoggin Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Jack, this is a hard topic. There are many instances in which a sequel tops the original (Terminator 2, Aliens maybe but not really, Toy Story 3, Godfather 2 in my humble opinion, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, several of the Potters I hear, one of the LOTR, arguably Spiderman 2, XMen 2, Blade II, Shrek 2 apparently, etc.), but not many instances I can think of in which a sequel turns out to be good when the original truly sucked.All these built upon films that were already pretty strong to begin with. Your topic is pretty difficult. I can't think of any to be honest except Desperado which was a crap example anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) IMO, the whole trilogy is an abortion. I have no idea. I cant imagine anyone liking that abortion (TPM, that is)I think you both mean aberration (not abortion lol) and I agree. Yes, ROTS is the "best" but they are all really bad. I think Ewan Mcgregor was good but Hayden and the guy who played Palpaltine were beyond laughable. I can't even began to comprehend the directorial decisions that were made during those films.

Gopher Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It took the Fast and Furious franchise four bad movies to make a good one (Fast Five). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you guys mean by abortion? I assumed you meant abberation as in those movies were complete abberations! (when you consider them in relation to the OT.)
