Gb2 has more ghosts,
Better jokes. I never liked how gb1 has such little ghost scenes.

I always wish i could take the montage scene in gb2 and add it to gb1.

I do hate murray in gb2. U can tell he didnt wanna be in it and u can tell ge told the writers to not put him in the gb suit till the end

It was a salary issue he had with them right for GB 2 ? I remember something like that I read . I have to admit the first hour of the original watching now was kind of boring too.

Gremlins 2 is more enjoyable than gremlins 1....
Ive watched gremlins 2 3 times more than gremlins 1

Crows, I like you, but someone has to be honest and tell you the truth. You have terrible taste.
 
P2 was one of many disappointing, forgettable sequels from the 80s and 90s. P2, GB2, TMNT 2, Die Hard 2, Escape from New York 2, Crocodile Dundee 2, Rambo 3, Gremlins 2, BTTF2, Alien 3 and the list goes on and on. So many things we grew up watching sucked.

Not quite as good as the originals/previous films doesn't have to = 'sucked'

P2, Die Hard 2, Gremlins 2 (I actually prefer this to the original myself), Back to the Future II and Alien 3 do not suck.
 
Back to this trailer, it did nothing to excite me at all, which saddens me deeply. Just can't match the classics no matter how hard they try.

The things that I hated about Alien 3 was they pretty much were helpless in trying to stop the Alien. All they could do is run for their lives with the alien chasing them in the tunnels

And of course killing Hicks and Newt and Ripley being impregnated eventually leading to her sacrifice. I was thinking when I saw this originally..WTH why did they do this . I guess I thought Scott felt that Ripley shouldn’t have survived the first film, let alone the sequel. Maybe it was meant to be that nobody should survive

Also getting back to the trailer.. even if the kid is supposed to be a flashback. How would he be able to get access to the Predator’s equipment so easily :pfft:

Someone said The dad sent it home when he found it
Before the interrogation
 
Not crazy about the trailer either, but I’ll reserve judgment for now, as I feel like the trailer showed almost nothing.

His dad took it off a Predator who's escape pod landed in Cuda (not the ship from the trailer).
He mailed it to his post-office box, then got captured and put into mental asylum.
Because he didn't pay for the storage in time it was delivered to his home, where the kid is.


Diehard 3 was lost Canon IMO. The thing that sold me on 1 & 2 where the similarities. Christmas setting, McClain walked into or was stuck into the bad situation and had to rescue his wife, which was what I liked. Yes I know, the originality is gone , but it was still a entertaining plot device that he got involved into two similar scenarios.

Diehard 3 was so poorly written and the revenge factor was just executed bad
:goodpost::exactly:

DH3 is just reporposed LW sequel.
It if wasn't directed by McTiernan it'd have been just as worthless and completely forgetable.
Heck, it still is. I don't remember a single line or even soundtrack.



P2 was one of many disappointing, forgettable sequels
Die Hard 2, BTTF2, Alien 3
sucked
Even if this is just another trollin' bait of yours...

They were the typical disappointing/ did not live up to the first, sequels. In fact, most if not all of those films I mentioned are mostly forgotten. Only the first one really stood the test of time and matters. I forgot about BTTF3, which is worse than BTTF2. Most if not all of those films made less money, and the reviews got worse, not to mention, they're just not as memorable as the originals. I like most of those sequels, but I know the main reason I like them is because of the first film, and what was established in the original movie. Even the director of Alien 3 said it sucked. :lol

I'll say this, the beginning of BTTF2, the 2015 sequence is memorable, but the rest took a nosedive after they leave 2015.
 
P2 was enjoyable. Clearly the best of any sequel or movie with a Predator in it. P1 the best by a large margin.
DH2 is trumped by DH3. So does DH4 IMHO.
G2 was enjoyable.
BTTF 2 is trumped by BTTF 3.
A3. Haven't watched it in decades. Remember not caring for it.

And lots of sequels that fumble the ball after very good original installments:

Smokey and the Bandit 2. 3 is ungodly horrible.
The Ring 2.
Blues Brothers 2000
Caddyshack 2
