Dissappointing Sequels

Now there have been a lot of these

In this article, I'll be selecting 5 big disappointing sequels of the recent cinema. Yes RECENT . So nothing more than a few years old, like Terminator 3.

1. The Mummy- Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)-Now, this one really got to me. The Mummy was one of my favourite films as a kid. Now, looking back at it, it's not a work of art. But I still have a nostalgic connection to it. The Mummy Returns was not as good as the original but it still held its own. When I heard there was going to be a third I was very excited. But this was not a mummy film. It featured Brendan Fraser character but that was where it's similarities ended. There were no mummies. There was a resurrected Chinese emperor and a terracotta army that came to life. PROS- Brendan Fraser was there, and it had the same humour as the originals. CONS- No Mummy, No Egypt, Un-enjoyable, Evie's actress changed, No Arnold Vosloo
2. Spiderman 3 (2007) - Okay this is six years old but it's still in recent memory. After the brilliant Spiderman 2, it really went downhill. It's like there were numerous ideas for sequels that were all packed into one. The Harry Osborn revenge story could have easily been one film, The Sandman story could have easily been one film and the Venom story really should have been one film. Top that off with the ridiculous sequence of Peter going emo and you have a bad sequel that managed to result in a reboot. PROS- Continuity, J Jonah Jameson is awesome as always. CONS- Numerous rushed storylines, Bad narrative, Emo Peter, Murder of Venom
3. Quantum of Solace (2008)- Yes this counts. Considering it continued on from Casino Royale which was a brilliant modern Bond reboot. We get a boring plot about oil prices. A boring new bond girl, an undeveloped villain and a terrible underuse of Judi Dench. PROS- Daniel Craig carries his own as Bond again. Gema Arterton's small appearance is great. Some good sequences. CONS- Boring plot, Un-interesting villain and Bond girl, Not enough M
4. The Bourne Legacy (2012)- Here's something recent. I don't even know if this counts as a sequel. They show Jason Bourne's picture and mention his name a couple times but that's about it. Considering it was action packed, I found myself falling asleep it was so bland. PROS- Jeremy Renner is a good actor but fails to save this film, It was nice to Rachel Weisz after a few years of absence, Jason Bourne's picture did some good acting. CONS- Boring, bland and no Bourne. Nearly fell asleep.
5. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)- The three previous Pirates films were very enjoyable. But this wasn't. They got rid of all the characters we loved and replaced them with Penelope Cruz, and a sailor who falls in love with a "Nice Mermaid". It's offensive to even write down. Geoffrey Rush's return was pleasant. PROS- Johnny Depp is the same Jack Sparrow we know and love. Geoffrey Rush was great. The late Richard Griffiths made a pleasant appearance, as did Judi Dench. CONS- a "Meh" plot, Boring new characters and the absence of some fan favourites

Well, there are definitely more, but these are my picks. Comment below with some of your worst sequels
