Well, it depends. The Lost World Beat the SHOOT out of The first Jurrasic Park, if you ask me.

My latest story, and one of my personal favorites. A girl bound in silence finds the words to say to her prospective girlfriend as they visit her religious father in a dusty town on the edge of Kansas, where the crows' migration south brings forth anchored memories, the path to resolution, and a new start.

Never gonna happen. Unless a director like Peter Jackson or James Cameron did, it would be a complete failure. The original movie was extremely bad anyway.

Cause in most cases, sequels exist merely to capitalize on the success of the original. It doesn't matter if the sequel's bad; if the first was good, people will see/read it. Therefore, there is less need to make the sequel good.

Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets was the 2nd best book and movie (Deathly hallows was the best book) It is a sequel, and it doesn't suck.

Er…all the Harry Potter movies suck, except maybe the first two, but neither of them are particularly good either. And I do like the books (or did, when I read them), so I'm not a Harry Potter hater. Now Twilight, on the other hand…

Harry Potter movies don't suck..

.......Now, when I go to see Part 2 of TDH in three years, it will be crap, as I will not remember the first part very well.


.......Although, I am REALLY looking forward to seeing Voldemort die. :)



But most sequels don't suck. It is like what someone said 50% sucky, 50% non-sucky. ;)
