Worst sequels of all time.

So I turn on Sci-FI today at 9pm to watch The long-rumored Highlander movie about Duncan's search for the origins of the immortals?!

The one that was never released in theaters? The one that I've not seen ANY ads for? It's just on? WTF?

O.k., so I watched it.

Well, now I remember why I call the Highlander rule "The Highlander rule." OMG it was awful. It was just. Freaking. Awful. It takes place in, I dunno, the future? I mean, the world had descended into complete chaos and it was all post-apocalyptic, but Joe was still alive, and he was mortal, so it couldn't be too far away. About 90% of it was done in front of terrible looking blue screen. The acting was meh. The writing was awful. Lots of random encounters with bands of post-apocalyptic crazy people. The visuals were awful. And the ending? oh. God. The ending.

Apparently, "there can be only one" does not mean that they had to kill all the others; it just meant that there was only one with a pure enough heart to pass the test of the source, and thus allow him to make a child (which immortals were otherwise not able to do).





WHAT THE HELL?! HALF STAR!

A couple weeks ago, I started watching the Elm Street movies. The second one was awful, and was immediately placed on my Flixter list ?the worst sequels of all time.? I didn?t think they could MAKE a worse Elm Street flick. Then I saw part 5. Ugh.
It starts with the acting. Horrible. Every cheesey line was PAINFULLY delivered. The Plot wasn?t bad, but it was hideously executed. How the hell did they come to the conclusion that Amanda Kreuger hung herself if they never found the body? And why was her dead body still standing? If she did hang herself, shouldn?t her corpse still be hanging there? Did she somehow die standing up? And how did her body get sealed up in that room? Then There?s Freddy Himself. Not only has he been turned from a classic being of pure evil into a flat-out comic book super-villain (a transformation that, I think, started in the second movie and got slowly worse), but the instead of using makeup to give him his trade-marked burned-up look, they just slapped a cheap looking rubber mask on Englund. Instead of looking horrifying, he just looks ridiculous. I could spend twenty bucks in a costume shop and come out looking more convincing. And that?s not the only place where the effects were cheap. The blood looked like strawberry syrup, the blue-screen effects were ridiculously obvious, how is it that ten years after the first movie, the effects got that much WORSE? Then there was the ending. If you don?t can?t the crappy ?twists? that they slapped at the end of the other movies (which were clearly after-thoughts), this was by far the worst of them.honestly, I can?t think of a single redeeming quality in this movie. Half star.

Shatner: good in front of the Camera. Poison behind it. 'nough said.

Take Mortal Kombat, add more characters than you have time to do anything with, and remove everything that wasn't a fight scene, and you've got Annihilation.

Easily the worst chapter in the series*. Be it the lack of interesting characters, the completely, utterly incomprehensible ending, or just the fact that in a movie named "Jason Takes Manhatten", Jason only spends about five minutes IN Manhattan, this movie was just plain crap.


*It should be mentioned that since V goes off on such a tangent that it doesn't even include Jason, I do not consider to even be part of the series.
