oohohoho like 50% of my inner rage comes from terrible sequels for movies I loved.

Disney's Atlantis the Lost Empire? Fan-freakin-tastic. If I had to watch one movie for the rest of my life, I would choose that one. I cannot express how much I love this movie and what it means to me. I see the ratings of it, and to me, it is one of the most underrated movies of all time. Love this movie.

Then I found out that movie had a sequel. Great, right? WRONG. W R O N G. oh no.

I gave it a watch and I was dying inside. All the beauty and charm and mesmerizing plot of the first film- flushed down the toilet. The fact that they thought they could get away with this as a viable sequel. The fact that it's literally three different plots put together for one movie. Did I mention this was a direct to video sequel? Like they already knew it was bad.

It's been a few years since I watched it but I remember watching it and being so confused at the plot. It is so obvious that it was supposed to be 3 different episodes for a tv show, it hurts. Why would they do this ???? Why couldn't they have just left Atlantis alone? The ending of the first one was good enough to be left alone, why did they have to do this to me.........

do not even get me started on my disappointment for pirates of the Caribbean 4. My feelings for the first movie pretty much rival my opinion on the original atlantis movie. I didn't like 2 and 3 as much as the first one but they were still good. 4? please. I practically wrote an essay on why that movie sucks. I won't paste it but honestly I'll just say... What the hell did that movie have to do with the previous ones? Like it feels like they just dropped everything the 3rd movie was leading up to, and made a movie that has nothing to do with anything whatsoever, which is confusing, TOO action packed, and plotholes that are either unexplained or covered up by a character telling a story about an even that previously happened, almost like they were like "oh we forgot to explain this so here's a quick story from a character". no!!!! why are you not coherent!!! why does this movie have nothing to do with anything!!! why are they making a 5th movie!!!! it was so anticlimactic just stop the madness. stop killing this franchise

As it has been said before, a lot of the Disney straight-to-video sequels just take a big load on top of the originals for the sake of making a quick buck. Mulan 2 is the one I absolutely detest the most.

Also, not sure if this really counts, but I found the recent movie Maleficent to be a big let-down. The best Disney baddie could have done without an origin story; she was better off.

Story line wise, the latter half of God of War III was just a big "Wuh?" to the ending. "The answer... IS HOPE, KRATOS. WE MUST HAVE HOPE." Cut to scene of everything being demolished. Yup. Tons of hope there. But, it is God of War, so story line isn't really important anyway, I guess.

As far as books go, the one that sticks out to me the most as a massive disappointment was the Montmorency series. A London thief turns into a spy and masquerades as a gentleman. Okay, neat. I really enjoyed the first book and decided to pick up the other books after I had finished it to read up on the protagonist's adventures. I only got as far as half-way through the second book before I got fed up and threw it and the other books under my bed. It lacked any of the charm of the first book and read like a Sherlock Holmes Gary Stu that was riddled out of his mind with drugs 99% of the time. The fact that it has been almost 10 years since I read the book and I still have a bad taste in my mouth says something.

The Hobbit trilogy and Fable 3. runs

i was very disappointed with season 2 of the walking dead game personally.... s1 was SO unbelievably powerful and then s2 turns into this mess of weird pacing, bad writing, choices that ultimately mean nothing anyway, and a bizarre "anyone who isn't 'useful' or gets hurt or needs more help or is struggling to cope is a burden who deserves to be left behind" message that i really cannot agree with : |

The Hobbit. I wasn't sure if it really counted as a sequel, but it's been listed here so! I wanted to love it. This was the first fantasy novel I ever read and I liked the LotR movies. But I hated it. So much. They split it up into multiple movies saying they needed to to be able to fit everything in which is reasonable and good, but then they added crap I mean crap to it as if there wasn't already enough materiel.

Then, I saw where the first Hobbit movie had actually made Ian McKellen cry. I'll never be able to forget the image of him in full costume sitting all alone in front of green screen with everything around him colored green (table and all) just crying and saying that this isn't why he became an actor. It broke my heart. He's such a sweet man and they shouldn't have let things get that bad for him.

That plus Martin making that little rape joke and literally rolling his eyes that someone might be upset by it...I just can't enjoy the Hobbit movies.

pitch perfect 2 was not nearly as good as the original movie.

It should be given that 90% of Disney sequels are awful. And I wasn't a huge fan of Finding Dory - I get the concept but it still seemed unnecessary. Also - Minions.
