Sequels of Bad Films

[byronkincaid]

I thought Police Acadamy 26 was an absolute classic.

big fancy explosions make for good entertainment, i mean look at Bad Boys 2! - astounding film!

your having a laugh Dave!!!!

this is what usually makes films pony!!

I used to watch the x-men cartoon when i was young and thought it was great(not as good as thundercats) but still very good.

the storylines used to be quite involved for a cartoon and thats what i like.

but they didn't go with it in the films instead deciding to replace intricate storylines, interesting plot, and depth of character with special effects! especially in the most recent one.

I watched bad boys 2 with a bunch of my pals and there was a, seemingly superfluous, carchase scene that just seemed to go on and on, i mean it must have gone on for like 20 minutes!!!!!

my mates love it but i thought it was a load of crap.

it seemed as though the director wanted to show of his cinematography skills, displaying what extravegant stunts and action can be accomplished with a big budget whilst completely forgetting the point of the scene.

the car chase scene in Bourne identity or the sequel, i dont remember which, was great, it was integral to the plot, encapsulated the intensity of the situation and seemed a fitting extension of the story as opposed to the unnecessarily ostentatious car chase featured in bad boys 2!!!!!

there you go

but my favorite film of all time is Harvey so i may not have a clue what I'm talking about!!

Explosions are all well and good, but after the umpteenth time surely they become boring?

What happened to plot and stroyline?

Unfortunatley, the sequels of today's cinema don't seem to be too fussed about that.

Dungeons and Dragons was the best cartoon.

Dungeons and Dragons was a great cartoon.  The film released in 2000 wasn't bad either

What about Tom and Jerry.  That was quality.  I liked Batfink and Danger Mouse as well

Batfink was OK, as was Dangermouse and Sports Billy, Although these were fairly childish cartoons, they hardly tackled topical subjects like friendship, dishonesty, raceism, segregation, human rights. Most of the Cartoons I mentioned had to tackle these subjects and others weekly.

I'm glad you said "favourite" and not "best."

That's true.  They were fun though

The thing with films is that they are show "Business" rather than Show "lets get an Oscar". Film companies are owned by multinational companies - like GE (Universal) who calculate their ROI down to the 2nd decimal place not the quality of their films.

On a vaguely related note why do all American films insist on making phone taps take 30 seconds to display a number when here in the UK we have instant number recognition? - are they conning American criminals into thinking that they are that slow or is their phone system that incompetent?

(PS - I like the Spell Check even i lok intelegant)

It's the remakes that get me.

The Italian Job? FFS! How can you remake that?

[The Baron]

Tighty, great shout on United 93 - best film I've seen in years.
