Could you do a movie review on the 1999 Comedy film Life please? It’s a funny movie
Are u not a fan of the conjuring movies .. wanna hear ur reviews
So cool tysm!
CODY!!!! You ever rank you're favorite Horror director's? Or thought about doing it?
@Cody Leach I agree with you at 4:27 and 9:41. Wreck It Ralph 2 was terrible and I am actually gonna be reviewing and ranting on both The Hangover sequels
Movies I think of that didn’t need a sequel are:
The Crow (1994)
The Blues Brothers (1980)
Megamind (2010)
Jaws (1975)
Highlander (1986)
Highlander I think *could've* had a sequel but the way they just didn't care about it is what wrecked it for me. EDIT, I actually like Highlander 2 tbh, it's very Alien and Aliens with me,
Honorable Mention.
The Crow.
If Brandon Lee had survived making the first one, then maybe, but there was no need to make 3 more.
Yes I agree. The original had the perfect ending, making three more movies was totally unnecessary especially with Brandon Lee gone.
*4
I forgot there were that many sequels to that film.
Finding Nemo. While Finding Dory does explain a bit more on Dory's forgetfulness, it didn't need to be made.
When I was a kid I really really wanted a sequel to Finding Nemo. But when it came out?... They waited way too long to actually make it, so I wasn't bothered about it much anymore, I saw it in like 2018, years after it came out. And it's a good movie!.. But I agree, it didn't really need to be made and I think if they were going to make a sequel then they should have done it ages ago when I still wanted it.
FD was amazing idc
@@ghettoeasterbasket5638 I wouldn't agree that it's amazing, but I do think that it's good.
Still think they should have released it a decade earlier though.
I disagree
Finding dory is a good movie. Just as good as the original.
I’d agree with Halloween, but, I’m someone who would’ve preferred that if Halloween continued, they followed up on Carpenter’s plans for 3, where every sequel is a completely new story, instead of continuing the story of Michael Myers.
Same.
Me too. They beat that story to death
Exactly...I know I'm in the minority but I've never been compelled to know more about Michael Myers' story after the first film...every film beating the story to death
That woulda been cool
I like the anthology idea but people would want some kind of tie in to every other movie in the series. Season of the Witch should have been released as its own entity. Probably would have fared better
1:45 - Halloween (1978)
4:26 - Wreck-It Ralph
5:58 - Speed
7:39 - Terminator 2: Judgement Day
9:34 - The Hangover
11:01 - The Lost Boys
12:17 - Taken
Four words:
Son of The Mask
One of the worst movies ever lol.
A family picture.
Forgot about this one. Dreadful movie. I also don't like ace Ventura 2, its horrible.
You're right. Son of the Mask is a masterpiece. To give it a sequel would be blasphemy
😂😆
I’d add The Descent, it was a great film. The sequel was not needed.
Great pick
while i agree it definitely didn't need a sequel, i thought the sequel was pretty badass despite the ending
@@KDCLP71839 I liked the sequel as well. Both are pretty good
Especially since the second one had a cliffhanger
They both suck
Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island didn't need a sequel.
Didint even know it had a sequel. Loved that movie as a kid. Probably a blessing in disguise 😂
@@theobsidiansimp8626 be glad you didn't
I don't recommend NOBODY to ever watch the sequel if you want to know about it watch all the reviews for that movie but I don't recommend ANYONE to ever watch that film pretend it don't exist.
Zombie Island was perfect on its own
I agree. That movie is perfect as it is.
Movies that never needed sequels
1. A nightmare on elmstreet
2. Jurrasic park
3. The karate kid
4. Halloween
5. The Santa clause
6. Home alone
7. Cars
Honorable mention to The Sandlot, like seriously this has to be one of the greatest movies ever made, that should have never had a sequel, and unfortunately those sequels are complite re-hashes (I do like to think that production forThe Sandlot 2 is basically an alternative Universe where Gus Van Sant did a shot for shot remake of the sandlot but accidentally typed a "2" in the title).
@Gansta Maguire I agree with you on Sandlot too :). I also made three episodes of this video title on my channel as well because I came up with 31 movies that had too many unnecessary sequels and The Sandlot is on my 2nd one. Feel free to check them out
- The Decent
- Hot Tub Time Machine
- Sinister
- An American Werewolf in London
- Escape from New York
- Kick Ass
- 300
No order on any of these
I could not agree more on Hot Tub Time Machine. Without John Cusack as the emotional heart of the group, and moving Rob Cordery to the head of the group … woof.
I thought Kick Ass 2 was just as good as the first one, if not better. I loved Mother Russia
@@charoleawood thats fair! It just didn’t work for me. I thought it really needed Matthew Vaughn back as the director. I do agree on mother russia she was awesome
@@redwingsrock66 I liked Kick Ass 2 first time I saw it but then I have grown to dislike it over time. Did not need to be made. I would also include Saw III. Saw II and III should have been the only two saw sequels made
There a sequel to an American werewolf in London I did not know that
Backdraft 2 never should have existed. Coming out with a sequel nearly 30 years after a stand alone movie is not a recipe for success.
I saw it I was like backdraft 2 then after watching it I was like the guy they picked to be Kurt russels grown son from the first just sucked
@@jakepayne2985 And it was straight to dvd
I'd still love to see what would have happened to HALLOWEEN if each movie was a standalone like season of the witch.sigh.
Season of the witch was good I don’t understand the hate for it but it was because they wanted Myers but even though I love a lot of the movies I still think they should have just left michael dead like carpenter wanted
I actually think everything after 3 was dog shit, yes even 4 and H20. I love 2018 though and I do appreciate Rob Zomhie’s movies for what they are even though we didn’t need them. I would have welcomed an anthology franchise completely.
Yeah I use to hate season of the witch when I was younger but once I understood what they were trying to do I thought it was the best sequel.
Love season of the witch.
It would have actually been kinda interesting if we had decades' worth of new Halloween stories and then had Michael's grand return in 2018
Terminator 2 is one of the greatest sequels ever made
It is one of the greatest movies ever made!
Very true.
Overrated
I think T-2 is actually considered the greatest sequel ever made by a large margin of people.
As a fanatic of the Halloween franchise, I have to say you’re not wrong at all. I feel like the best idea for “sequels” would be the anthology route it took with the 3rd movie
I don’t think the Matrix should have had any sequels. I honestly don’t think scream should have had any sequels even though I like them. I think they aren’t necessary at all.
And yet Animatrix is my favorite thing to have come out of the franchise, not the original Matrix
Never liked the sequels. The animatrix is where it's at honestly.
glyn I agree on Scream's sequels. Even though they are well made, the sequels are too 'spooflike'. I know the original Scream was poking fun at horror tropes, but it was still a somewhat scary movie apart from the tropes. The sequels were missing something.
The Matrix Revolutions is a piece of shit godawful movie! Wasted $20 on it with my Walmart gift card after I graduated but thankfully my mom got me Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 on the PS2 to make up for that trainwreck of a sequel.
@@TheShadowsega75GX
Revolutions > Reloaded
Originally, the second Jaws was going to be a prequel focusing on Quint and the Indianapolis survivors.
Great choice of video. I would have put the following too -
1. American Psycho.
2. Pet Semetary.
3. Candyman.
4. From Dusk Till Dawn.
5. Hellraiser 4: Bloodline.
6. Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
7. Silence of the Lambs.
8. Predator.
9. Aliens.
10. Friday 13th.
I'm a huge Halloween fan and enjoy some of the sequels. But I agree that it works better as a stand-alone movie.
Strongly disagree... it wouldn't be near as popular without a franchise
I agree
@@alexanderarmstrong5306 Yes it would be popular even if Michael Myers had just one movie. It works so much better than Endless Michael Myers repetition. Confusing Timelines, Stupid Siblings Twists, Michael Myers being treated like Jason Voorhees/The Terminator. Halloween 2018 being JUST CALLED HALLOWEEN! Rob Zombie portraying Michael as the bullied abused victim
The big one for me is Robocop, that film never needed a sequel. The whole story is in the first one, at the end he’s human again, he’s Murphy.
Others I can think of Highlander, The Mummy (or at least the sequel should have gone to another Universal monster), Beverley Hills Cop, Escape From New York, and so many more.
Agreed. How Cody Leach feels about The Matrix sequels is how i feel about the ROBOCOP sequels. Aka the JAWS franchise of cyborg films where it has one AMAZING first film and two shitty sequels
The exorcist should have never had sequels even though the 3rd one is damn good
Also the third one is known for one of the most iconic jumpscares of all time and done Right !
Really good pick
While I agree with you in principle, 3 is just too good to fully commit to no sequels. Also may not be popular, I actually enjoy the beginning as well
@@Possum880 I think the exorcist the beginning is a piece of shit movie but that's my opinion and opinions are like assholes everyone has one
I Still haven’t seen the Heretic, and I don’t plan to, cause I’ve heard SOOO MANY awful things about it.
Also you should rank the insidious movies and the conjuring universe movies.
I second this
The conjuring and insidious 2 would be first
@@jokerfett5652 doubt it. There is a very small line between the conjuring 1 and 2. Annabelle creation is so good that I wouldn't be surprised if someone put it as top two if not top 3.
@@jokerfett5652 And, I might be part of the unpopular opinion that insidious 1 is scarier and better than 2.
Totally disagree about the Conjuring films. It’s a universe and connected like Marvel. Didn’t hear you say that about Marvel. Though do agree about Insidious
Jaws, Nightmare On Elm Street, Psycho (even though 2 is just as good), Halloween (even though 2 and H20 are also good), Silence Of The Lambs (didn’t need to redo the prequel either because Manhunter was a lot better), The Matrix, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hellraiser (even though 2 was also good), Jurassic Park, Independence Day, The Strangers, The Shining, Wolf Creek.
Nightmare on Elm St part 3 Dream Warriors is better than the original
@@israelbenitez6346 No it’s not
Oh yes it is...Mr. Leach has even said so, that's why he didn't include nightmare on Elm st on this list
MOST people, including myself, prefer Dream Warriors to the original..I LOVE THE ORIGINAL..but Dream Warriors IS better
Dumb and dumber, easiest pick ever. Lol
The comedy genre as a whole doesn't lend itself well to sequels. The premise is often so outrageous that it only works once. When you try to repeat it, it just comes off as stupid and unfunny. A joke is usually never funny the second time around.
Dumber and dumber 2 was good tho, I hated the prequel
@@SlasherIncorporated My list would be Home Alone (even though I like Lost In New York), The Sandlot, Independence Day, SPEED, The Hangover, TAKEN, Terminator 2, TRANSFORMERS 07, The LEGO Movie, ROBOCOP, and The Lost Boys
Yes
@@ScottDoyle1990the prequel was awful! And their storyline doesn’t make sense
I actually agree with halloween being on here. Even though some of the sequels bring novelties, the original is perfect with all them supernatural wonders
I got another. Jurassic Park didn't need sequel. All the sequels make the legacy worse to the oint that now Dinosaurs are reclaiming the earth at the cost of human life. They should have just left it at one.
Jaws definitely did not need any sequels
I agree but I really like Jaws 2 and I can laugh at Jaws 3. Jaws 4 YIKES 😳
@@harryparsons2750not only that meganind 2 and son of the mask wasn’t necessary at all
I completely agree with Halloween! Even though I like some of the sequels, that ending where he gets shot six times and disappears into the night. Meanwhile you hear his breathing getting louder and louder as it shows all of the different locations he’s been throughout the film confirming he’s the boogeyman and he could be anywhere. Perfect ending and it was ruined because there were sequels.
Actually, T2 had an alternate ending where Judgement Day doesn't happy, Sarah and John lived normal lives, and happy ending.
But fucking Hollywood only cares about fucking money
Jurassic Park did not need a sequel, especially with how the second trilogy would end up being. The Lost World and Jurassic Park III are average sequels, but for me, some movies should have just stayed as one-offs, and Jurassic Park is one of them.
Not gonna lie, the Jurassic World sequels made me appreciate the original Jurassic Park sequels. At least the Jurassic Park sequels had some elements in them that made them memorable, whether decent or dumb and at least when they had their stupid moments, it wasn’t as frustratingly stupid as the ones in the Jurassic World trilogy.
Was not expecting Halloween, but I can’t argue the logic.
I’d argue Ghostbusters should be on there. Even though I like GB2, I can admit it is a pale shadow of the original.
I personally think you need Halloween 2 but after that yeah.
I wouldn’t mind Halloween sequels if they gone the direction that Season of the Witch did. That would’ve made a worthwhile franchise in my opinion
@@Dutch_man20 Season of the Witch? Lol that movie is terrible, one of the worst “horror” movies I’ve ever seen.
@@austinreed347 why? Because Michael Meyers wasn’t in it?
@@Dutch_man20 because it was a bad 80s movie with even worse acting. My mom walked out of the room after 20 minutes and said “No Thanks” I finished it and really regret it. Plus the main character cheats on his wife and is supposed to be a cool or good protagonist? I don’t understand why everyone likes this movie.
How about Aliens? Ridley Scott and James Cameron explored everything that needed to be explored with that concept
I would go a step further and say Alien. Aliens *didn't* need to be a sequel and the Xenomorph is now able to be defeated with bullets. Aliens is a good movie but I find the statement as the best sequel to be wrong on that alone.
@BoondockBrony You have no idea what Cameron achieved visually with Aliens. I don't care what he did with the sci-fi monsters. That s**t gets dated eventually. But what Cameron did was make his characters, including Ripley as immortal as mathematics itself.
BTW, theyre not just using ordinary bullets in Aliens. It was made quite clear by Gorman. They're armored tipped caseless bullets. They're tank busters. Now if a hookshot as seen in Alien can hurt the monster in any way, armor piercing bullets will certainly do damage.
Dumb and Dumber definitely didn't need a prequel OR a sequel 20 years later. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels were perfect comedy magic in that movie. There is no need to explain origins for those characters or follow their story in the future. They are idiots just hilariously living life. The ending is perfect as they once again lament on the opportunity that will come their way after a bikini bus drives off.
90's/2000's Comedies that do not need to have sequels:
Happy Gilmore
Wedding Crashers ( apparently they are making one, ugh)
40 Year Old Virgin ( someone made a parody movie, but that DOES NOT COUNT)
All Classics and stay that way since they have no sequels to tarnish them!
GREAT VIDEO CODY!
I didn’t even know Speed had a sequel.
Sleepaway Camp sure didn't need sequels after the first one,
Robocop and Predator should never have had sequels either in my opinion. Those are perfect as they are.
Predator imo should've stopped with 2 but I feel given how tied that franchise is to Alien I think it would only stop with sequels once Alien would. Then again I find the Yautja far more compelling than the Xenomorph, even with the Prometheus saga expanding on the Xenomorphs
I was curious what number 1 was gonna be and then Jaws instantly popped into my head during the dramatic pause
My Top 10 Movies that did NOT need a sequel:
1. Rosemary's Baby (1968)
2. Jeepers Creepers (2001)
3. Highlander (1986)
4. Jaws (1975)
5. The Crow (1994)
6. Mean Girls (2004)
7. Speed (1994)
8. The Mask (1994)
9. Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
10. The Lost Boys (1987)
The crow. Every movie after aliens. Every movie after predator 2, Every movie after rocop.
The Exorcist should’ve never had a sequel.
Some of my movies that did not need a part 2. #1 Speed. #2 The Tv movie to Dirty Dancing. #3 Grease. #4 The Exorcist. #5 Gone with the wind. #6 Witch Board. #7 Wrong Turn. #8 Die Hard. #9. Steel Magnolias remake. #10. Sleepaway Camp.
Some runner ups:
The Exorcist
Die Hard
Home Alone
The Karate Kid
Blues Brothers
Ghostbusters
Pirates of the Caribbean and the black Pearl
The Mask
An American werewolf in London
Agree with everything except Pirates of the Caribbean. I think 2 and 3 are just as good as the first
I will say, although maybe The Exorcist didn’t deserve a sequel, Exorcist III kicks major ass.
Karate Kid I can live with since it's inspired some great TV with Cobra Kai.
@@jasonchilado agree to disagree. I thought they felt more like retreads like let's have them do the same bit with the same line from the first one but it's not as funny. They based it off an amusement park ride the fact they got one good movie out of it was an accomplishment. Plus by the end I hated Will and Elizabeth's character arcs. I only cared about Jack Sparrow and Barbosa
I’m actually glad the second Home Alone exists because we get more traps that are even more deadlier, over-the-top and better than the first film’s traps that look weak in comparison. Plus, Tim Curry as a creepy hotel concierge. Need I say more?
Also also, the Malcalisters (minus Buzz and Uncle Frank) are WAY more likable than the first film and don’t make me wish they really disappeared.
I COMPLETELY agree with Halloween. I like some of its sequels, but they don't need to exist. The ending was perfect.
Halloween was supposed to be a standalone film, so you're right to put it here.
It’s a shame it never became what it was originally intended to be. I think it would’ve been a great anthology series for Carpenter. Instead they just milked the Michael Myers character for every penny until he became another Jason Voorhes.
@@dave-yp7tw Yeah there's a reason Halloween 3 is so different. It was part of an anthology.
What’s worse than the Jaws sequels is the hundreds of awful ripoffs of Jaws. The killer shark sub genre is one of the worst things to happen to horror. There are literally like 5 good shark movies outside of Jaws.
I’m actually surprised that you didn’t include the Pet Sematary 2 (1992) on this list, considering how good the first one was
@@CapedCrusador578 oh don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy it for what it is, but it was still an unnecessary sequel though
There's a sequel?
I thought hellraiser, Gremlims, puppet master, Tremors, leprechaun, fast&furious, Saw jajajajaj scary movie jajaja. Now what movies do deserve a sequel, ill say The Goonies, Cabin in the woods, etc...
Candyman did not need the sequels it's had so far IMHO, the second just feels it retreads the plot of the original and the third, egads, that was AWFUL. I hope the newest sequel due does right where the others have failed miserably so far.
Yeah the first one was great and had a perfect ending for Helen.
It didn't help that the 2 shitty sequels changed him from a living urban legend kept alive by people's belief in him who periodically killed whenever someone tried to get people to think he didn't exist to a vengeful ghost who lived inside a mirror.
@@Xehanort10 Cody Leach at 11:04 is EXACTLY how I feel about the Candyman sequels
My list of franchises that Should've never had multiple sequels
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) A Nightmare on Elm Street Dream Warriors (1987) and New Nightmare (1994)
Die Hard (1988) and Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)
Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986)
Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2 (1991)
Star Wars Trilogy (1977-1983)
The Bourne Trilogy (2002-2007)
Home Alone 1 and 2
Halloween 1978, H20, 2018, Kills and Ends
What happened to your old list? The one that had The Matrix, Wreck-It Ralph and The Incredibles on there? And I thought you weren’t a fan of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York?
Anyways, in hindsight of Inside Out 2 coming out, I did get curious and wanted to ask why you feel like The Incredibles didn’t need a sequel? Out of all the Pixar films that I know many wanted a sequel to, it was definitely The Incredibles and it was the most hyped when it was announced. Many fans I know were waiting for YEARS for The Incredibles sequel.
Nightmare on Elm Street should be a trilogy and Friday the 13th should be quadrilogy.
Agreed. Which way would you put it out of curiosity. Nightmare 1 through 3 in that order or skip part 2 and do 1 3 and 4? Also Friday 1 through 4 up to the final chapter? Yeah I would agree with that one.
@@adamandanna I would have had Nightmare 1, 3 and 7 as a trilogy, that would have been perfect
@@The-Xclusiveeeee what about 4?
Either Final Chapter or Jason Lives should have been Friday the 13th's ending.
Nightmare 3 should’ve been the only sequel and then boom story closed .
Candy man should have been a stand alone. Didn’t need a back story cash grab sequel that doesn’t have the same chilling factors as the original
1. The Butterfly Effect (Butterfly Effect 2, third film was okay but oh my God) - yes they did a sequel and it didn't even attempt to make it as good as the first one. Again, third film is okay but the second one irritates every time and I hate the fact that I own it with the first movie.
2. The Hangover
3. The Lost Boys
4. Speed
5. The Lost Boys
6. Joker (just a rumor but still)
7. The Crow
8. The Mask
I don't mind Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions but I definitely can understand where you're coming from with these picks. Good video, Cody.
I use to have a copy of butterfuly effect with part two on the same disc. I was so mad I grab another copy that didnt have part 2 on it lol
None of these originals needed to happen (except Matrix and Speed) in the first place haha
@@boromir0062 I hear you. I hate that second one even more.
1. Pacific Rim
2. The Matrix
3. Taken
4. The Hangover
5. Jurassic World*--let me explain. I feel this was great classic feel to the original Jurassic Park….but we didn’t need more.
6. Clash of the Titans
7. Halloween
8. Ghostbusters
9. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
10. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
11. A Quiet Place (I was surprised we were getting a sequel and I was apprehensive…, but wow was it done well. Still didn’t need it.)
Honorable mentions that haven’t been released
Joker….yes a script is in talks
Avatar
DUDE! Highlander! It's even in the damn tag line "There can be only ONE"!
But I have always loved the series, I grew up watch the series
There should have been one highlander film.
@@williamsummerson1204 yep! And I'm not even all that interested in the reboot.
I felt like that movie had the perfect ending and sequels were unnecessary.
Pretty much any movie that didn’t need a sequel is nearly every horror movie ever made
Think Halloween needed a part 2 just because the end left people wondering what happen to Michael I know John Carpenter wanted to end it like that but I feel it would been an unfinish work of art! Good Review
Yeah Halloween 3 was explicitly supposed to be part of an anthology so the disconnect of it makes sense. No meddling by executives
As soon as I saw the tittle of this video, I knew, that Jaws has to be number 1.
Coming to America is the most recent example I can think of
I actually didn’t mind coming to American 2
It was terrible
The Descent.
Hellraiser.
Jaws.
The Matrix.
Raider's Of The Lost Ark.
Return Of The Jedi.
Terminator 2.
RoboCop.
Friday The 13th.
Halloween.
A Nightmare On Elm Street.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
Jurassic World.
The Omen.
Die Hard With A Vengeance.
Superman (1978).
Batman Returns.
Split.
Aliens.
Prometheus.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Poltergeist.
Child's Play.
Mary Poppins.
The Descent.
Trainspotting.
Fright Night.
Psycho.
If I don't stop now, I'll be here in twelve hours.
Predator 2, I find to be another one, cos Predators, The Predator and Prey, just don't touch the first two for me.
I 100% agree with Halloween. It was so much more terrifying not knowing why he killed.
Godfather II shouldn't have gotten a sequel considering how shit III was. Michael Corleone going full on evil cold hearted gangster, driving away his wife Kay, falling out with his adopted brother Tom, killing his blood brother Fredo despite Fredo not knowing a hit was planned on Michael and his gullibility being manipulated by Hyman Roth, becoming so ruthless that he had a prostitute killed just to blackmail Senator Geary into helping him get let off at the senate hearings, implying he'd either have Frank Pentangeli's brother killed or have the brother kill Frank's wife and kids in Sicily. All of that costing Michael everything was a good place to leave off.
I agree with most of these, if not all. But the Matrix 100% should have never had any sequels. The film literally ends where Neo became the One, the Matrix crashed and he began to wake up those trapped inside. It would have been fine if they made spin-offs. But official sequels, no.
Also, Die Hard and/or Die Hard 3 should have never had sequels. Die Hard 2 was sort of boring, but 4, 5 and 6 are absolute trash. There's absolutely nothing redeeming about them. Die Hard 3 worked well not just because of the well crafted action scenes and the great chemistry between John and Zeus, not to mention a pretty badass villain - but the story also made sense as a sequel. It made sense for John to be stuck in that situation, given the revenge angle that Gruber presented, even if it was mostly just a smoke screen.
One Halloween film was all that was needed, it was flawless, it’s a shame that it’s all about money not preserving a classic film
The second one needed to happen
@@Alyumic if they had just waited almost 20 years to make a sequel to Halloween and came out with H20 and then waited 20 years again to make Halloween 2018 i wouldn't have anything bad to say about the franchise. Yes i liked H20 and 2018. If Halloween was just 1978, H20, 2018, Kills and Ends and they stopped there thay would've been great. My two worst Halloween movies are The Rob Zombie Remake and Halloween 4 The Return of Michael Myers.
@@josefengelhardt2767 Halloween 4 was amazing and ends was so bad that even if they did wait it still would've ended the same
@@Alyumic if you like H4 i respect your opinion. Ends wasn't good but i don't think Ends is as horrible as people say. Rob Zombie's Remakes and H4 are in my opinion far worse than Ends or Kills. Rob Zombie's Remakes are just Disgusting white trash stuff and H4 was just rushed
I agree 100% with Halloween. Works best without an explanation
Terminator two breaks all the rules.
" If your from the future show us a part of your technology."
" Nothing dead will go."
T-1000 shows up.
" Explain that then. "
" Ummmmm."
100% agree on Halloween! Should have been stand alone film
I loved some of the sequels but it does work better as a one and done film
Agreed. The anthology concept would've been awesome though.
@@quentinross2104 Either that or stop the franchise at the sequel.
@@justnolan9503 fax Halloween 2 was the perfect ending but also Halloween H2O was 2
Halloween 3 Season Of The Witch definitely should never have been made, because it is one of the worst and biggest pieces of shit movies I’ve ever seen.
The Sarah Conner Chronicles was amazing way better than the post T2 sequels
Wow I was so expecting to see The Fast And Furious Franchise
None of them were ever good though.
Air Bud. It was a kinda goofy but fun, sometimes heartwarming, sometimes very sad and depressing movie that I loved as a kid. It did NOT need all of those sequels. It just got ridiculous after a while. The first movie made sense as to how and why the dog could play Basketball, but the next movie he can suddenly play Football and then I don't even remember what all the rest were... it just got so stupid the longer it went.
Yeah, I like how they touched more or less every sport. However the thing with a children's movie is that they don't hold nostalgia like a non-children's franchise can hold especially since animals have much shorter life spans than humans usually so when they tack on the buddies series film to make it more an ensemble the concept is there but how any people will watch it due to nostalgia? Not many.
Anytime Cody puts out a video that may anger pathetic Halloween fans it gives me immense satisfaction. Especially when he presents valid and credible thoughts as to why he feels the way he does.
Same. Halloween has the worst fan base of all time.
I honestly had no idea the Halloween fan base is so toxic. I realized that once Cody started to get harassed for his thoughts on the franchise.
@@SlasherIncorporated it's honestly made me reconsider my love for the franchise more than once.
I'm ultra late but I have to reply. As a HUGE Halloween fan I don't understand when the fanatics put down people who have a different opinion on Halloween then mine per se. After all it's just a bloody movie and every one is entitled to their own opinion. As a Horror Fanatic I'm just happy to share the love of horror films within our community. We like what we like and should never be made to feel different because our opinions vary.
@@SlasherIncorporated People got angry at me for not liking Rob Zombie's Halloween Remakes. It was mostly Rob Zombie Fans. They got mad at me for hating the Halloween Remake and started sending me hate comments and Death Threats.
The total irony is how great Carpenter films such as The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China would have had terrible sequels had they made money at the box office. It's almost a blessing that they flopped.
I don't actually mind either of the Hangover sequels.
Love the 1st one the 2nd one is okay but the third was ok
I find the third one hilarious and I enjoy the second one
RE: Halloween
Sorry Cody, im not trolling, but I genuinely think the Rob Zombie movies in 07 and 09 surpass the original Carpenter movie by some distance. Zombie's Michael was like a modern day Frankenstein and those two movies blew me away whereas tje original was imo underwhelming.
I'm going to add Pirates of the Caribbean to this list.
In my opinion, 2 and 3 are just as good as the first. 3 is my favorite in the whole series. It should’ve stayed a trilogy as 4 and 5 were when I thought they became cash grabs.
In no particular order….
1. Speed
2. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (yes it has a sequel)
3. Jaws
4. Taken
5. Home Alone & Home Alone 2: Lost In New York
6. Monsters, Inc.
7. Batman (1989)
8. Independence Day
9. Paul Blart: Mall Cop
10. Kindergarten Cop
the chainsaw killer movies is stupid.
A guy five miles away " VOOOOOORM "
" Shit it sounds like the chainsaw killer is coming."
Gets in a car and drives away.
2:56 Yeah even without the sequels Halloween ending with Michael on the loose would still have been great. It would have been similar to the original Black Christmas's ending where Jess and the police think Peter's the killer but he's innocent and Billy's still lurking around.
Pirates of the Caribbean
Saw
Die hard
The boy
Predator
The first of them are decent standalone movies, but then money talks
Robocop definitely did not need a sequel.
Sinister should be somewhere on the list. Not just because the sequel was bungled, but because a good sequel wouldn't be possible. The entire reason Sinister was so scary was the unknown. You had no idea what kind of entity the characters were dealing with. With ANY sequel that is gone.
I agree with all of these esp Jaws! Even though i enjoy some of the sequels, i would say Die Hard. Its perfect on its own.
Die Hard with a Vengeance is a worthy sequel
Die Hard is a good example. While I do enjoy the sequels aside from A Good Day to Die Hard, they really didn't need to happen. How many times can ONE man find himself in the same situation over and over? Nobody's that unlucky. We don't think about that while we're watching, but it really does seem silly and unrealistic. None of the sequels ever topped the original for me either. The first one is still my favorite.
@@SlasherIncorporated if they’re good, logic doesn’t matter.
@@nocap4557 it is a true sequel cuz it tied to the original with Hans's brother Simon. Throw in Sam J and its a treat!
Basic Instinct, American Psycho, From Dusk Til Dawn, Donnie Darko, Tremors, Major League, Home Alone.
Blues Brothers should have never gotten a sequel. The only good thing about the sequel was the soundtrack.
There was no point in doing a sequel with John Belushi’s death.
@@hunterolaughlin Jim Belushi, John’s brother, is still alive. He should have been in the movie. I like John Goodman but Jim Belushi is what we needed. I know he isn’t as funny as his brother but he knows the routine. He did promotional concerts with Dan for the movie. That made me think he was going to be in the movie.
Speed 2 had two different scripts.
One was on a boat and another was on a plane.
Imagen if they did the plane concept?
I couldn’t agree with you more with everything you said, especially The Matrix. I like the sequels but quite honestly I don’t re-visit them very often.
Quentin Tarantino hated the Matrix sequels cause he felt that they ruined the mythology of the first film. Tarantino praised the first Matrix and put it in his 20 favorite movies from 1992 to 2009
I still can't believe they made sequels to Jaws
Fast and Furious would’ve been somewhere on my list it should’ve ended a decade ago 😂
Omg yes, talking about Milking a movie, Jesus Christmas.
No.
Thank you, finally somebody else agrees with me.
"very few if not no Halloween fans who would say one of the sequels is better than the original"
Halloween 2 and 3 are my favourite Halloween films. I find them far more entertaining than the original.
i watched texas chainsaw for the first time recently and loved it so much more than i expected. was so disappointed that every sequel seemed so unnecessary and knew they weren't going to live up to what i wanted more of
Saw III didn't need any sequels. Like as fun as some of those sequels are, Saw III would have been a fine way to end the series.
I agree with you on Halloween. I like some of the sequels but I think if they didn’t exist, the ending of the original would be even more memorable. I would miss Season of the Witch though.
I agree but Season of the Witch could have still existed by just being called Season of the Witch and not part of the Halloween franchise because the way I see it’s only a Halloween movie by name.
@@jamieward3260 i wish all the Halloween Sequels never existed. Here are my reasons why
1. Confusing Timelines
2. Stupid Siblings Twist
3. Supernatural Cult Thorn Twist
4. Rob Zombie's Remakes
5. Halloween 2018 being JUST CALLED HALLOWEEN!
6. The endless sequels are responsible for the modern reception of the original 1978 film where people mostly young audiences say it doesn't hold up anymore and it's "not scary"
7. Michael Myers being treated like Jason Voorhees/The Terminator
3:07 you've met me.. :(
Oooooooooh 😵
Phantasm is one of those franchises where I really enjoyed the sequels, I agree with the creator that it should have been standalone. It was a victim of studios demanding a sequel, just like Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and even A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Not me they should of stopped after 3 it started getting boring
Phantasm is a weird franchise this wasn't the usual studio demanding a sequel where they can easily make one like Friday the13th or Elm Street back to back in years. Even Halloween had 3 movies in the time frame Phantasm II came out. I don't know the reason behind it but that just has always been weird to me. Especially when it's pressured by a studio to make a sequel when they have a deadline. A weird polar opposite of this happening now is Diablo Cody wanting a Jennifer's Body sequel which is imo a huge mistake if it happens.
The Blair witch never needed a sequel, it was a great standalone film
I actually like Hangover 3 but 2 was rough.
This is a *very* hot take but Alien. Aliens didn't need to be the sequel to be great. I think it actually diminishes the Xenomorph in a way since it became a bullet sponge you could take head on, which it never was in the original. I don't even think Aliens is a bad movie, I just think it didn't need to be a sequel to be good and even made the Xenomorph less intimidating. I am not even touching the other films in the series since they range from bad to mid to very niche.
Halloween should have been a anthology series
Big Momma's House
Sleepaway Camp
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Halloween
Jeepers Creepers
Prom Night
The list is very professionally made. I heavily agree with no:1. I do have other honourable mentions that prehaps should've been on the list. The most unnecessary sequels goes to...
- Transformers
- Resident Evil
- Wrong Turn
- Independence Day
- Alien (Only the first 2 are masterpieces)
- Predator (Only the first 2 are great)
