It was okay. Really not the worst ever, not in a world with the Matrix sequels and Highlander 2.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hah!
You know, I first typed 2 Fast 2 Furious, but then I thought, well, I haven't seen either movie, so that would be snotty, and mostly I'm cranky about it because it's been parked on every movie screen here for months, taking up space.
I also thought about mentioning The Mummy 2 because, while I love the first one, I was in actual physical pain from the second. But it's not necessarily a pointless sequel... The Mummy could have easily become an Indiana-Jones-style franchise. But Weisz's awful wig and the whole child actor thing pretty much killed that dead.
How about Pointless Sequels Yet To Be Made? Like Schlindler's List 2, or Casablanca Revisited. Or Citizen Kane: The Lost Years.
Oh, and off-topic, I have just decided to make a movie about a couple criminals and their sex-worker friends, and call it Pros and Cons.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
2 Fast 2 Furious
I think this got disqualified from the Most Pointless Sequel list as soon as they made #3.

I thought that was an Internet joke. So there really was a third one?

I actually liked Mummy Returns. Not a lot, but I liked it

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Underworld wasn't good, but I can't really say that it bored me.
My take on Underworld was that it was terrible, but in exactly the manner it had to be to entertain me mightily. If they'd had a better actor (and character name) for Kraven and werewolf designs by Rick Baker/Greg Cannom, it would have been perfect.
