Where was the sequel?

I vote -1, so that brings us back down to the universally accepted 0.

:p


Shit, while were at it:

"Batman" (a good one; the Burton, not the West)

"The Lost Boys" (a good one, though it's a little too late now)

"Men In Black" (a good one, not that piece of shit we got)

There are at least 2 other people in this thread that have it on their lists. Right there puts your "universally accepted 0" to rest.

I don't understand where all this LXG hate comes from. It has an intereting premise, great casting, well crafted action beats, and more...in short, everything you could ask from a superhero/action picture.
 
Fine, then I vote -3. :p


Having seen half the film, it's nothing I would ask for in a superhero film, inluding the lackluster and unmemorable score (as I recall, by the otherwise talented Trevor Jones).

That's why I said superhero/action, not just superhero. You could class it either way, though the lack of traditional superpowers leans it towards the latter.

If all you have to complain about is the score, then you have scant room to complain. Not that I particularly had anything against the score...
 
The Rocketeer is a shoo-in.

I'd like to see The Aviator followed up by a movie about Howard Hughes' later, weirder, reclusive years, maybe incorporating the "autobiography" hoax.

I really, *really* wish they'd gone with the original plan for a sequel to The Mummy, having Rick and Evey head for South America in an update/remake of The Creature From The Black Lagoon, instead of the mind-buggeringly disappointing Mummy Returns.
 
Yeah, yeah. I'm still waiting for a continuation/sequel of Otherworld.

I've always thought that Otherworld could be folded into the Stargate series mythos with relatively little effort. About the only thing that would have to be retconned is the fact that in Otherworld, time passes about 10x faster on Thel (the other planet) than on Earth. Obviously this couldn't work in SG. But apart from that, it's practically tailor made for SG already.

Judge Dredd. Stallone was making sequels to his past movies, how about "JOSEPH DREDD" or "MARION COBRETTI" and "JOHN SPARTAN" (Demolition Man 2)?

I was hoping they'd work their way through the Universal Monsters.

Who knows - perhaps Judge Dredd *is* the sequel to Demolition Man? ;)

Think about it. First we have the extremely-PC sissified wimpy future of DM, then it swings way around and we get the ultraviolent cathartic release of JD. Besides, in DM, most of the rest of the world was pretty violent anyway (just look at the opening scenes set in 1996). 'San Angeles' was probably a special case that failed.
