Rocky II is okay but Die Hard 2 was crap. The scene in Die Hard 2 that had me scratching my head the most was when Bruce Willis uses the ejection seat to escape from the cargo plane just before it explodes. Sorry Bruce, cargo planes don't have ejector seats. And what happened to the roof of the flight deck? Did the seat just blast through it? I'll be honest I thought Rocky III and Die Hard 3 were both better than the sequels. Yeah, Rocky II had more of the feel of the original and the overall acting is a bit better but when Rocky finishes off Mr. T that should have been the end of the Rocky franchise. If you disagree grant me this, at least it's not Rocky V. I saw 2010 in the theater, it was okay as far as sequels go. I would have put Terminator 2 on the list. Yeah, it's a bit hokey, but aren't all sequels not named Godfather II? Like Rocky III, that should have been where the Terminator was terminated. Terminator 3 had a chance to be something but the casting for that one was just beyond horrible. That nerdy loser kid they picked to play the future savior of the human race, where did they find him? And his girlfriend was almost as unbelievable in her role as future heroine. I'll give Kevin Costner credit, he was offered big money for Bull Durham and Field of Dreams sequels and he turned them down. Good for him. Most things are best left alone. Porky's Two: The Next Day ring a bell? For the most part, sequels suck.
