I don't watch sequels, prequels, spin-offs, or remakes. If I enjoyed a movie, I like to leave it all wrapped up & done.

It makes life ever so slightly easier.

Terminator. They should have stopped at 2.  As a runner up I nominate Dances with Blue Space Cats. None of the sequels have aired yet, but it's already a terrible idea. And Alien/Predator.

Agree with most of what's already been said. But would like to add everything related to the X Men franchise and anything Batman post Michael Keaton.

I'll go with the one that mocked so many horror ones.  What was it, Scary Movie I think?  Can't believe they did several after the first.. 

 

Edit: I'm also going to go with the sequels to Shrek, as well as Minions (the movie itself - Despicable Me was awesome, second was good, haven't gotten around to watching the third one yet).

I don't know.

there's some things I'd like to see more of that have already had waaaaay too many sequels (startrek discovery)

there are things that haven't had very many but I never want to see another of (men in black, independence day)

there are things where the first film was a mistake and yet they made more (the current run of justice league movies, transformers)

And then there's ones where I am so confused about what to say about them because the sequel was the good one so I'm not sure I want to close the door on more (terminator, predator, alien, mad max)

and then there's ones where they need a reboot because they keep missing the premise of the material they're adapting (apple seed)

I second Fast & Furious, that franchised has been milked way too long just to grab money without putting much effort into the movies. Also, Survivor and all the other 'reality' shows on TV.

  • The Scorpion King movies. The Rock's character keeps getting played by actors who physically get further and further away from the Rock.
  • Spiderman with Tobey Maquire.
  • Tom Cruise movies (Mission Impossible, Jack Reacher, the Mummy reboot travesty...)

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the Leprechaun series yet.

 

There's been 8 films. The Leprechaun went to space in the 4th film. There's been two distinct reboots. The most recent film came out last year :blink:

Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings was wonderful.

His Hobbit was not.
