Good question, TD  Two I want sequels to: True Lies - the mooted sequel puts Arnie's & Jamie Lee's daughter centre stage in the family business - and personally, i think a spy thriller starring Eliza Dushku would rock Starship Troopers - loved the first film, and there is no reason NOT to do a second in terms of the story. Four I do not want sequels to: Total Recall - fantastic film, but an absolute one off. The story ends as it is, and tacking anything else on would not be good. Galaxy Quest - the best sci fi spoof ever, but works best as a stand alone. Gattaca - it made the point, and made it superbly. Now it needs to be left be as the masterpiece it is The Truman Show - comments as with Gattaca *** I'd add more 'want sequels to' to the list, except that just about everything seems to be getting sequels, these days, whether it warrants them or not, so there really aren't that many... On the other hand, I could add a whole load more 'Do not want sequels' on grounds that there are a quite a few really good standalone films that really do end the entire story, or the point of the story. And that's without even mentioning the truly dire stuff that is simply undeserving of sequels because one was bad enough... |

There was a Starship Troopers sequel that was direct to video IIRC. It had none of the original actors in it though. Movies I want sequels to:
Kung Pow- It's being planned but I want it now!
Can't really think of any other movies that I want sequels to.

There are a ton of movies I don't want sequels for, so I'll just focus on those I want... 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Because we need more good pirate films. 2. Sin City: I want to see the rest of Miller's work adapted, especially if it's as good as the present film. 3. Kill Bill: Because there is such a potentially great story to be told with B.B. once she's older. |

Put me down for sequels to Sin City and Kill Bill.
Though we are going to have to wait a long time for Kill Bill vol. 3. Tarintino says at least 10-15 years.

Hmmm. My most-wanted sequels might seem unorthodox to some...
1. Willow 2. Why not... it was my first favorite fantasy movie, and I'd like for Lucas to return to that world sometime. Especially now that we will have better technology for effects. The name of the movie might have to be different though, because I wouldn't expect Willow to be the leading figure again.
2. Predator 3. I think this is the best monster film out there. I know people will argue with me, and people will say an Alien vs Predator movie came out, but I want to go back to basics and have a dirty-looking Predator emerge somewhere else on Earth.
3. X-Men 3. I really, really want a sequel, and this would count as my most wanted sequel, but I'm afraid it won't be as good without Bryan Singer on board. And I'm also afraid it won't take off without him. So this is sort of a want-and-dread thing right now.
4. Pirates of Caribbean 2. Like Steve, I loved the first movie and would definitely want to see more.
I don't really have any thoughts concerning sequels that I don't want. If I don't like a sequel I'll just ignore it and forget it as continuity (as I did in the case of Aliens 3 and Aliens 4.)

Heh. I thought I was the only person who actually LIKED the Shadow film I loved the movie too. ;D I did have to over look a couple of errors, like Lamont Cranston was not really "The Shadow", but he did fill in for The Shadow from time to time. The real Shadow was Kent Allard. Tsel  |

Nah, you guys aren't alone. Shadow was a decent film, I thought. Not the most memorable, perhaps, but certainly watchable.
But then, I've always been fond of the old pulp characters. I wouldn't mind seeing more done with them on film.

No, I had not idea. I loved Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny Depp rocked in that movie. He was sooooooooo funny. Is there any kind of link to where you can read about them? I am always afraid of sequels though, because there have been few that I have thought were as good as the first. They always seem to go down in quality.  Shan |

Thanks Hector. I hope they can pull it off, but I'm not sure they can. They might get away with 2 but I think 3 will probably be pushing it.  Shan |

Thanks, Hec Both the new Pirates films have the three most important cast members back, and the fact that Johnny Depp actually agreed to do ANY sequels (He hates them because he hates playing the same character again, apparently. No challenge for him) must mean he liked the scripts a lot... So I am hopeful |

Unfortunately...
I do, however, want a Hulk 2. This time with someone who can do some action, please. Oh, and CGI character with some character, please. The Hulk CGI is the most character-less animated creation ever.

Well, Depp coming back might have nothing to do with the scripts, because quite frankly, it was the character Depp fell in love with.
