My unpopular opinion: I actually like Terminator: Salvation. The script should have skipped the “Make it PG13 and try to please everyone phase”, but it’s still an OK movie. Plus Christian Bale did a great job in that role.
The plot twist of that dead guy turning out to be partially a robot was somewhat expected, but it was still an interesting story arc. Plus it hilights what was mentioned already in the first Terminator movie: It took Skynet a while to mimic humans properly, and this is when they started to figure it out.
Yeah salvation was fine. But somehow the person making this list thought genisys was decent enough to be the only terminator sequel not on the list.
Genisys was an absolute stinker. Here they forgot everything except that PG13 commission I mentioned earlier.
Genysis was pg13, Dark Fate wasnt.
My unwanted opinion. 😄 Terminator 3 isn’t too bad and I give most of it’s credit for the clever switch and bleak ending.
I watched Terminator: Salvation a few weeks ago and it’s not bad at all. The grubby Mad Max look works quite well for that universe and I also enjoyed the new designs of Terminators.
Sigh. Genisys is just a mess. The faithful recreation of the opening of the original film is the only thing going for it. Either I missed it or a major plot point is never explained (possibly left for the unmade sequels), all the hype about Matt Smith appearing in it was rather pointless and the marketing department decided to use the biggest surprise plot point in all the trailers. Oh, and Jai Courtney is a terrible Kyle.
If I had to be kind, I’d say Genisys is a solid action movie but a bad terminator film.
I’m going to watch Dark Fate again this week, I haven’t watched that since it’s opening, see how I feel about the last entry to the franchise.
Dang. Take the hint, Terminator
WW1984 is waaaay too high on this list. Same for Love and Thunder.
Oof… I don’t disagree with the list perse, but dang a lot of those ‘gems’ are way too high
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.)
Ummm can we at least get a spoiler warning Margot?
Sure, you got it, Lifecoach5000!
Thanks Margot. I look forward to paying Mattel some of my hard-earned pennies to watch your vagina-centric harpooning of the commercialisation of medicine.
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.
Best use of Guns N’ Roses in a movie soundtrack ever.
You could be Mine in T2 is hard one to top
Oooo good shout but I still give the nod to November Rain in T:L&T.
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.
Agreed. Airplane 2 had William Shatner parodying William Shatner.
Although isn’t that just his career?
That’s the joke.
Does he actually have the humility to Adam West himself?
I don’t think he can spell humility.
It had a lot of good jokes. The only movie on this list I had a problem with.
lol at Terminator being on the list three times. Well deserved, though.
It’s disappointing that they keep resurrecting dead IPs trying to wring out every last drop of nostalgia money that they possibly can.
Write something original instead of making a Gladiator sequel 24 years later, ya hacks.
For once I agree with every movie being on this list
At least half this list was “damn, I forgot I wasted time watching that crap”
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.
Caddyshack had a sequel?
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.
No Zapped Again?
No Porky’s 2?
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.
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.
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.
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.
