Bad News Bears 3. Very few of the original cast members signed on for this bomb. The studio has to package the DVD with the original and part II (aka Breaking Training) so that someone would buy that dreck. It’s the definition of unwatchable.

In reply to Ed Buskirk.

I think Brian is crazy because neither The Godfather Part III nor The Two Jakes were very good, and I think Rob London is crazy because Men in Black 2 was okay.

I said Godfather Part III was “pretty okay” and The Two Jakes was “pretty good.” I agree that neither of them are very good.

If we’re looking at movies by the same director, I’d have to point at Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. None of the original movies were perfect, but they were all enjoyable. Then TPM came. My brother was five or six when the movie came out, and he asked me “Why did they put the reactor right next to the docking bay?”

When Kindergarteners are finding plot holes, it’s not a good movie.

lots of sequels had drops
I’m assuming the Godzilla film “Godzilla’s Revenge” AKA “All Monsters Attack” is disqualified

“The Chronicles of Riddick” felt pretentious and nowhere near as enjoyable as Pitch Black

and then there is Speed 2

and Batman Forever

and…

Ohmygod The Matrix. The first one was genius, and it just got worse from there with each iteration. The way it unraveled makes me not want to re-watch the first one, as good as it was.

Highlander. Simply because it was a great movie that had a horrible sequel, it was a great movie that spawned an entire less than mediocre franchise.

I walked out of Caddyshack 2, it was atrocious, but I think I’m going to go with Rocky V which I would have walked out of had I not kept thinking it had to get better based on its pedigree

Spider-Man 2 to Spider-Man 3 was a pretty steep drop. The X-Men franchise has had some roller coaster ups and downs too.

Highlander and Ghost Busters are good picks but for me it has to be the Hobbit films. same source material, same director, many od the same cast and almost unwatchable
