    Speaking of sequels, I’m happy to announce that “Barbie 2: The Search for More Money” will continue exactly where the first movie left off,

    spoiler

    as Barbie experiences the wonders of the American medical industry first hand and discovers that her insurance company won’t cover her yearly gynecologist exam and scrambles to find money to cover her out-of-pocket payment before it goes to collections and ruins her credit score.

    (It’s based on a true story.)

    Sorry, but Thor:Love and Thunder doesn’t deserve this. I understand why some people didn’t like it, but it was not T3 bad.

    I was scrolling through that going “Highlander 2 better be at the top” then I was thinking “what could be worse?” but I’ll allow that. I do have problems with Airplane 2 being in there though.

    lol at Terminator being on the list three times. Well deserved, though.

    Why is The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 on this list?

    Sure I understand that fans at the time didn’t want the book to be split into two movies. But it was a fantastic movie that stays very true to the Mockingjay book. Both Parts 1 & 2 of the movies I view as a singular movie.

    It’s missing probably the worst sequel ever, Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace. Holy god was that movie awful. Maybe the list didn’t include it because it did so poorly that not enough people were disappointed.

    I’m just glad Highlander 2 was near the top.

      At least half this list was “damn, I forgot I wasted time watching that crap”

    Ghostbusters 2 is sorely missing from this list. Although there may be one good reason: it’s self aware about its quality and tells you this in the form of the saddest kids’ party ever. Yes kids, my take is that someone smuggled a metaphorical warning into the script: run while you still can, because it is going to be much worse.

      I don’t know if it’s true but I’ve heard the story that Bill Murray also dislikes the second film because the script they filmed was apparently very different to the one that got him to sign on to the sequel.

    I’m not surprised to see SW9 at the top of the list. I think the biggest problem with the third trilogy is that seemingly, no one planned a story from the start.

    It’s like that game you played in school where you would write a paragraph or sentence, leave a few words exposed, food the paper over and pass it onto the next person to continue the story.

    I actually really like Lethal Weapon 4.

    It has some genuinely great action scenes and comedic moments like the shootout with the armored guy and the scene on the boat: https://youtu.be/MMjRQ5qIti0

    If you cut out the Asian family, most of the romantic + pregnancy stuff and maybe reduce some Chris Rock (I like him, but I can see, how some people find him annoying), you get an A+ action flick.

    It’s still not Lethal Weapon 2 - but you’ve got to have your plateau somewhere.

    Phantasm 2, while the first installment left so many questions unanswered, number two tried to flip the switch and add more confusion into the mix. I really loved the uneasy uncertain vibe of all the movies but man that story hits kinda sore. But Ghoulies 2 is the opposite story of redemption.
