      Quantumania wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t great. There are many Marvel and DC sequels that were worse both critically and financially.

        I’m torn because its inclusion feels like recency bias but I wonder if over time it will seem even more ill advised considering how much it does to try to set up a Kang storyline that never got off the ground.

        We enjoyed Quantumania, but that could have been influenced by us watching it in a 4DX cinema. Sure there were issues, but it can’t really be criticised for setting up Kang as the next big bad as that was the plan at the time.

          But the list is supposed to be the absolute worst sequels, not a random list of not great sequels.

            Yeah… and Coming 2 America wasn’t as awful as many on that list. I was pleasantly surprised despite the stupid title name. No where near as good as the original, but better than expected.

            I can’t recall Star Trek Nemesis, but I’ve seen all the Star Trek films and I never thought any were bad enough to be put on this list.

      Looks about right. Those that I have seen on this list were mediocre at best, and a far cry from the quality of the previous movie(s) which would have been fine being left alone.

        I’ve seen technically less than half but “Coming 2 America” is on my TODO list, so more than half eventually. Of the nearly half I’ve seen… I’ve seen worse.

          I’ve seen less than half of you half as well as I’d like and less than half of you have as well as you deserve.

      Solid list. I only disagree with one of them, personally.
