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.
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.
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’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.
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.
