bosstrabs Most disappointing: Trainspotting 2. Forgot about this until recently. Utterly horrific, probably the worst thing committed to screen apart from one of Bongwater’s posts. Best: Godfather Part II (although arguably not truly a sequel). Even better (possibly) than The Godfather.
vinnyt77 bosstrabs Best: Godfather Part II (although arguably not truly a sequel). Even better (possibly) than The Godfather. This. If you’re a Star Wars type of person (which I am) Empire Strikes Back is a bloody close second, but Godafather 2 is perfect. bosstrabs Most disappointing: Trainspotting 2 True. It’s shit. If I think of the sequel that actually most disappointed me though, it’s Crocodile Dundee 2…
Amps bosstrabs Trainspotting 2. Forgot about this until recently. Utterly horrific, probably the worst thing committed to screen Agreed. Such an odd set of choices. They swerved the original material of Porno, which was power, and then filmed it like a ‘made for TV’ film. Alarm bells should have been ringing for all concerned from day one.
Along_the_Wire jonattonyeah I was literally gonna post T2 as an awful sequel - totally ruined by the acting and that awful Sarah Connor Doris.
alistair I posit Batman dark knight, Superman II and Bourne supremacy as great sequels. So many stinkers. Jaws, Beverley Hills Cop, Ghostbusters
bosstrabs rhouses T2 is a great shout. Still holds up strong. T2 Trainspotting? Yes, still holds up strong as absolute dogshit.
-si- Home alone 5 def doesn’t have the same original cutting edge humour of the first one. Oceans 8 was shite and made for the sole purpose of humouring diabolical cunts.
Homegrove -si- studio made bank with that one though, so clearly the thinking worked for them. I didn’t like it either. Terminator 2 is great, but not as good as the first. Arnie as the baddie was so fucking great. Godfather 2 is better than the first.
Dan “I have never seen it (Jaws 4) but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific” Michael Caine
alistair Dan Famous quote that. Caine couldn’t attend the oscars ceremony that year to pick up best supporting actor as he was filming in at the same time
LT42 I always found the “Godfather 2 is better than the 1st” opinion strange as clearly Godfather 1 is a far better picture according to my stats and peer reviewed study. I watched the 2nd recently (about my 4th or 5th time) with the missus who never watched and found it dragged on a bit. Brando and Caan in the 1st steal it for me. Plus by the end of 2 I was sick of looking at Pacino’s fucking mug.
