20 Amazing Movies That Had Terrible 'Dumpster-Fire' Sequels

There's nothing like a fresh idea from Hollywood. Unfortunately, it happens less and less and less as time goes on as studios invest in "safer" bets. In the form of sequels (or prequels) of established franchises, remakes, and 'trending' adaptations. While this gives studios a more reliable return on investment, it sure makes the list of upcoming movies incredibly dull for the rest of us. Remember when the trailer reel before your feature presentation felt like an onslaught of incredible new ideas? Maybe it's just the rose-tinted glasses that I'm looking through and I'm the one who has gotten stale and boring. But something has changed.

No, thank you Hollywood. We didn't need more epic big screen adaptations like we had in the early 2000's with massive undertakings like the Lord of the Rings, I'd rather sit through an abhorrent remake of Ghost Busters after a trailer for Mulan 5.

For the record, since it's in the thumbnail... The only thing good about the first Pacific Rim was that it was a novel idea and had big heavy robots. The pacing was inconsistent, the writing was dull and the plot was uninspired.

But I digress. Here are some truly terrible sequels that came in the wake of well received blockbusters and cult classics.
