Generally, you say that in a reply to the original post (in this case, the one above.)

Sorry, but pet peeve: i.e. means “that is,” as in “that is to say.” It does NOT mean “for example.” Only use i.e. when the two items are the same (e.g. above; I could replace “as in” with “i.e.”).

True, but just because a movie is based off a book doesn’t make it any good.
For example, the Eragon movie. Although whether or not you could even consider that “based off” the book is a matter of opinion…

What! fallout 3 was the BEST of any of the fallouts! one and 2 sucked because they were both Turn Based. and lets face it, only card games and pokemon are good Turn Based games.

The Empire Strikes Back was better than A New Hope, the first Harry Potter movie is the worst one, Wrath of Khan was better than the first Star Trek movie…shall I go on?

SMB 2 was originally Doki Doki Panic, and thew Japanese got SMB Lost Levels, but They thought it would be too hard for Americans.

Don’t forget Aliens and (in some people’s eyes) Toy Story 2.

And the “video games” bit is WAY too high. Zelda 2, anyone? SMB 2? Metroid 2? Then when they moved to 3D you’ve got Super Mario Sunshine, Majora’s Mask, Metroid Prime 2, all considered the black sheep. Sure, they have their fanbases, but people often dislike them, at least more than the first.

Meh, game and books sequels suck as much as movie sequels.

By: Morne

I suggest that the the new Batman movies are exempt from this rule, because those were planned as a trilogy from the start. Sequels are usually only terrible when they are just made to cash in on the fanbase of the first movie

Oh yeah, they were great! I especially loved the part where Agent Smith blew up the planet Namek and Goku, I mean Neo, had to try and stop him.

The books absolutely were, but the movie, to me, was treated as a sequel. I didn’t like either movie, but Angels and Demons was less crappy than The DaVinci Code.

Not really, Silent Hill the movie(as I heard from several boyfriends) was better than the video game. And that movie is my all-time favourite.

By: operationsealion

operationsealion — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 19:25:55 +0000

ok seriously guys, you are overanalyzing it. of course there are going to be exceptions (ie the Lord of the Rings movies). i made this because the overall general trend is that movie sequels suck. alot. look at the Matrix, Pirates of the Caribbean, Caddyshack 2, Rocky, Night at the Museum, etc

as far as videogames go, yeah there are exceptions, but there is a trend. the halo series, battlefront, call of duty, splinter cell.

and then books, with examples like some of the Harry Potter series, LOTR, etc, etc.
the odds for books is lower because in some extended series, like Harry Potter (again), Ender, etc.

dont make a big deal out of it.

what about terminator 2?
or indiana jones and the temple of doom?
or ace ventura when nature calls?

all AWESOME sequels!!!!!!!

It had more Jeff Goldbloom, you’re right about that.

I wish they would have used the latter half of the first book as the second movie instead of writing a new movie. Wait, why did he bring his daughter when he new what the dinosaurs could do? Pandering to a young demographic anyone?

Youtube ‘Yami Marik’s X-Men’ and click the cardgamesFTW vid. You’ll see all that is wrong with the movie

Let’s be honest, that isn’t hard. Given the choice of Gordon Brown or Twilight 2, I’d pick Gordon Brown. Amy Winehouse or Twilight 2, I’d pick Amy. HERPES or Twilight 2, I’d pick Herpes…
see a pattern?

Sadly, this Graph totally fits to Transformers 2 (in my opinion)… But WTF did this movie make it to 68% on rottentomatoes.com??? (I got some reasons to think that the sequel SUX, btw…) plz tell don’t tell me that this world is doomed ‘cos *singing* “It’s like a kind of torture..”

Movies based on book series definitely have more success when it comes to good sequels. Mostly because they actually have a solid, cohesive plot to follow and plenty of material, because the downfall for other non-book movie series is that the writers don’t know what to do for sequels, so they either a) re-hash old, worn-out ideas or b) stray too far from the original concept and end up alienating fans.

I guess so…I think I just need to lower my expectations altogether for Nintendo. TP was so straightforward and simple, that there was almost no “rewarding” factor or sense of achievement when I finished it. Just from the other Zelda games and any old games, I’m used to things being more challenging. I’m too nostalgic x_x

It’s not the best movie ever, but it’s a pretty good sequel IMO. The ending wasn’t great, you’re definetely right about that.

Woah, you had me except for The Lost World. How is it that the classic GTO swerves, hits objects, and drives through buildings without more than a busted headlight. I know they used to build them tough but that one was a tank!

Plus: oh crap how will we possibly end this. Oh I got it, lets randomly drop a T-Rex in the middle of the city due to a clerical error and let Godzilla homages do the rest.

Sorry, rant over.

If you consider Lord of the Rings: Return of the King a sequel, as opposed to just the third part of a really long movie, it would also be a Best Picture-winning sequel.

hey hey hey. Those effects were, imo, the worst part of the otherwise good movies. But thats IMO, whatever you like…

Sir Scarfalot — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 03:30:41 +0000

yes. But twilight princess honestly doesn’t make SENSE as even PART of the canon. So, I just let go of my expectations for a zelda game, and it was actually kinda good. Much like Far Cry 2, to like it you have to let go of expectations.
