New Godzilla and more ID4 Movies

:wtf You used Land Before Time as an example, instead of the Stargate movies?

I wasn't aware there were any SG movies beyond the one that started it. Then again, beyond the one, and bits and pieces of the three series, I've not seen much of it...I admit I'm not much of a Stargate fan (yeah, throw your rocks at me, I don't watch it, lol).

*gets his boulder ready*

I have to say I'm not entirely fond of the idea of sequals...OR remakes...Why not just make something fricken original

Prequels some times suck too.

Looking at you Star Wars.

Looking at you Star Wars.

  The problems with the Star Wars prequels were bad editing(Episode III needed at least another hour thrown in), bad writing and characters(Jar Jar), and bad actor chemistry(Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman were wooden at best in their scenes together).  Thank goodness Star Trek 2009 turned out better.

at least they didn't throw fool like jar jar into ST2009 ;) and yeah, got to agree on SW prequels, better choice of actors and less silly-comedy moments and special FX would help a lot but unfortunately Lucas aimed for kids&teenagers with prequels, while he should've aimed for wider audience (adults too... and I mean no sex or things like that but much more serious approach to the plot - just like in original trilogy)

When you take away the very poorly written and acted romantic scenes, Episodes II and III aren't that bad, although I really didn't care for Episode I (I despise Jar Jar Binks like I despise a hemorrhoid). Of course the prequels are FAR from the quality of the originals.

This sentence is an excuse to use this emoticon:   :SWvST:

Only one I really like is EP3.

Some people would toss out Keenster as an example there.  I personally liked him.

[Kirk]

Keenster is not a giant, talking, retarded rabbit.

[Bones]

Keenster is not a giant, talking, retarded rabbit.

yeah and he definately didn't act like retarded rabbit... at least he didn't talk much

I take sequels on a movie for movie basis.

I think a squel has to build upon but be as strong or stronger than the first film in terms of plot, characters, action etc. They have to be good stand alone films.

It can be hard to do and can fall down, examples being the Star Wars prequels, Indiana Jones 4 and the third Jurrasic Park film.

I await Transformers 3 and the next Star Trek film to see if they can keep a good run going.
