FTF Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yes.. Huh? Now obviously the following can be debated based on personal taste, but MANY sequels can be considered better than the originals:TBU>TBITDK>BB (or B89)TESB>ANHTS3>TSSkyfall>CR (or whatever the first Bond was)X2>XmenTerminator 2>T1SM2>SM1Blade 2>BladeAliens>AlienBunch of Harry Potters>SSList goes on and on. Also, by your logic The Avengers 2 is already worse than the first and no way to know that yet, etc.Also, great #s for both IM3 and TGG...TGG went down a good amount from first estimates, but that's still a really good #.

Talkie Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Agreed, Josh Duhamel I've loved Duhamel since his days on All My Children (an American soap opera for those unfamiliar with it). He's actually a fine actor and won at least one Emmy for his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTF Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) lol, that's a good gif. All my examples are obviously debatable, more meant it to point out that it's not automatic that a sequel can never be better than the first.

MovieMan89 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Skyfall is soooooo overrated. People just think it was so great because it followed the shit-tacular Quantum of Solace. So yeah, in comparison to that it is a masterpiece. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though, IM3 and Skyfall are both solid B+ movies. Better than their predecessors, but not amazing. Of course I haven't heard anyone that fanatic about IM3. Skyfall on the other hand, the critics and half the internet think it's an A+++ masterpiece. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, in comparison to that it is a masterpiece. Skyfall was decent but very very over rated. Horrible villain, bad action sequences, flimsy plot and silly ending. I hated how they killed the villain and the silly coincidences (train smashing through tunnel to kill bond....supposedly timed so well to make sure he was right underneath it whilst it was passing) and illogical plot points. What was the with the pointless characters too? That bond girl was pretty much killed within 15 minutes of being introduced. Also, the less said about the awful CGI kimodo dragon sequence the better.

My thought exactly. Also this Honest Trailers spoof of Skyfall pretty much sums up everything wrong with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
