Movie myth: Sequel Vs Original??

[iori_terry]

Are sequels better than original?? there is a movie myth that sequels are worst than the original. personally, i believe that generally in most cases, sequels arnt as good as the originals. Mainly because the originals were soo good, so the producers were lazy and produced a not as good quality movie! The sequel probably seemed bad compared to the original, but when compared to others, it could be a lot better!

so what do you think? ARE sequels better than originals?

true sequels aren't always as good as the first but sometimes they aren't so bad either

Sometimes the sequals are better then the originals. I always liked X2 better than X1.

although in many cases sequel are not as good becos creative plot already been show in the original unless the sequel has another of its own creative plot.

for me, i dont mind watching sequel bcos i want to see more of the story... eg. i want to see more about legally blonde or i want to see what new magical stuff the harry porter 2 has.

I suppose it depends on the story. Some stories lines are crap from the start and don't have a chance to develop properly. And then there are changes made during production that are detrimental to the original story line.

depens on what movie you mean... most movies have bad sequals though
