Movie Sequels, Prequels, And More - Part 6

Another look at Hollywood's hilarious concept of upcoming movies, meaning that they have run out of ideas and they can only come up with another round of prequels, sequels, and remakes and nothing original:
  • How To Train Your Dragon 2 - This is the first of many animated sequels in this list and proves that Hollywood is out of ideas and that parents will do anything to shut their kids up for a couple of hours.
  • James Bond 24 - This one is pretty obvious and I will be interested to see where it goes now that Voldemort is M and they introduced a Money Penny at the end of the last movie.  I like Daniel Craig as James Bond, so this one will be pretty good.
  • Jurassic Park 4 - The good news is that we are getting another Jurassic Park and dinosaurs are awesome.  The bad news is that Steven Spielberg will not be directing it.  Then again, he did direct the second movie and that one sucked balls.
  • Avatar 2 - Can a sequel to this movie possibly be as successful as the last one (number 1 all-time highest grossing movie)?  Probably not, but I will be interested to see where they go with the story in the sequel.
  • Popeye - Did anybody see the Robin Williams live-action movie that came out in the 80's?  It was horrible.  Plus, is anyone still alive that enjoyed Popeye in his prime?
  • Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2 - Wow.  The first Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon came out 13 years ago (I looked it up), so what makes them think making a sequel now would be a good idea?
  • Timecop - Remember this movie?  Jean-Claude Van Damme traveling back in time for some reason.  And as everyone knows, rebooting a JCVD movie makes perfect sense....in opposite world.
  • Terminator Reboot - This is either a reboot or a sequel to the third movie (you know, the one with the hot chick terminator).  In any case, James Cameron is set to write it so it might not be that bad.  Then again, look at that picture below because Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to star in it again.  Also, it supposed to be set before Sarah Conner's birth and have Arnold fight The Rock.  Yikes.
  • Smurfs 3 - Come on kids, stop going to see these things because they don't deserve to exist, let alone have three of them.
  • Taken 3 - Liam Neeson is making $20 million to make this thing.  Since when has he been worth 20 million dollars?  And are the Taken movies doing well enough to garner that kind of payday for the guy?
  • Kung Fu Panda 3 - Yup, another movie about an animated panda and his pals doing kung fu.  That's exactly what the world needs.
  • Prometheus 2 - (Spoiler Alert) Only two characters survived the first film and one of them was a robot, so where could this plot possibly be going?  The first movie was confusing enough already and I don't think a second one will clear anything up.
  • Snow White and the Huntsman 2 - I actually saw the first one and if it weren't for Kristin Stewart's terrible acting (she really is awful) that movie might not have been that bad.  Plus, isn't this the movie that created that whole Kristin Stewart banging the married director thing?  Is putting those two on the same set again such a good idea?
  • WarGames - Okay, finally a movie I might actually go see on this list (other than Avatar 2).  Wait, I take that back.  The first movie involved nuclear missiles and the Cold War, I don't see an updated version of this movie having a good enough premise to be worth making.  Nice try, Hollywood, but you continue to baffle me with your decision-making.
  • Independence Day 2 - Yeah, this blew my mind when I heard about it and of all of these movies, this thing actually has some potential to be pretty good.  In fact, this is the first of two sequels set to come out in the near future.  Then again, Will Smith will probably be in it and his last few movies have sucked pretty hard.
