re: Sequels that suffered by waiting too many years

I can predict the future:

Avatar.

y'all are all wide of the mark. there is only one answer here

original


sequel


19 years will play hell with a woman.

Arrested Development, I'm sad to say

One movie that could have taken advantage of facial-cgi to make a person still look young..

Would have been a legit sequel to The Lost Boys. Apparently in the Canon story, David isn't dead.


So it would have been cool to bring back the original cast before hail died IRL, and have everyone be older now with kids of their own, and confrontation with a David that looks like himself from 1986.

just absolutely terrible writing

You mean like "Whelp, we just lost contact with an outer base and just destroyed some weird new alien threat, let's go back to our regularly scheduled ceremony."

Kickass 2

Indiana Jones 4 is easily the run-away winner here. What a colossal disappointment that was.

That's kind of my point. They had almost 20 years to make a sequel and get it right, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was the best they could come up with? Very disappointing.

Oh yeah you're right. I do wonder if we'd hate it if had come out in 1988. Was it really that much worse than temple of doom? If temple of doom came out this year we'd likely hate it too.

You nailed it. Audiences have grown. It would've been much better received in 1992 or so.
