So sitting here with a few beers and with all the hype and chat around Baldurs Gate I decided to stick on the recent Dungeons & Dragons movie, needless to say I'm enjoying the heck out of it (no doubt helped along by aforementioned beers) and it actually saddens me that we'll never get a sequel to this fun romp of a movie, that I believe reviewed well but simply didn't make the money required to greenlight a sequel.

Which brings me to the absolute travesty of modern Hollywood movies that'll never get a sequel..

anyone got any other movies they really enjoyed that deserved a sequel?

 

[ManaByte]

 

[willothedog]

Saving Private Ryan and Titanic

 

[Ballthyrm]

Titanic

Titanic just got a sequel didn't you follow the news ?

 

[Hudo]

Der Untergang

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Saving Private Ryan

Band of Brothers is the spiritual succesor.

 

[SantaC]

 

[Patrick S.]

The Matrix.

 

[MGHA]

The Matrix.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Starship Troopers deserved a Paul Verhoeven big-budget sequel.

Fight Club could have a legitimately great sequel: the ending of the first one fundamentally changes the world and the relationship of the two main characters. I gues Mr. Robot is kind of a spiritual sequel.

And pre-teen me was megahyped hardcore to the ultramax to the sequel-bait ending of 1998's Lost in Space, but it never came.

 

[Fuz]

The Blues Brothers.

I've heard good things about dredd but the box office intake was TERRIBLE

I think of they'd have released if just a couple years later it would've done better, hes a niche character but edgy comic book heroes are all the rage right now.

Haven't seen the film myself, need to check it out.

 

[GloveSlap]

Its not SO good, but I enjoyed John Carter and the end gets you amped for a sequel that will never come.

 

[LaughingStock]

The Matrix.

Highlander

 

[EekTheKat]

The Princess Bride. No sequel, no remakes.



If and when Hollywood remakes this - that's when you know the end times are truly upon us.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

The Blues Brothers.

Unfortunately, that did get a sequel and it was pretty bad.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

There's a ton of movies I can think of that didn't get a sequel but were awesome.

One that comes right to mind is The Goonies. Never got a sequel or a remake and it should stay that way.

 

[dave_d]

Big Trouble in Little China. Arguably the best film ever made and it never got a sequel. Before I forget James Hong was robbed, he didn't even get a best actor nomination.

 

[The Pleasure]

Hobo with a shotgun.

 

[FullMetalx117]

No Country for Old Men and There Will be Blood

 

[Shadowplay1979]

 

[Puscifer]

Der Untergang

Bro what


I would say Annihilation, but personally I'm happy they didn't adopt the other 2 books. It was a great adaptation that closed off and didn't need another story.

 

[Daneel Elijah]

 

[phaedrus]

Beautifully shot, top notch acting, and Peter Weir is amongst the finest directors alive.

Its criminal that POTC got 4 (increasingly worse) sequels yet M&C never got even one!

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

 

[nightmare-slain]

It's not great but I enjoyed Turbo Kid. For years I waited on the sequel but yeah it ain't happening now I suppose

Last news I can find on it was from 3 years ago saying it was "still happening"

 

[Nobody_Important]

One of the most wasted cinematic opportunities I have seen in my lifetime.

 

[GeekyDad]

<reads OT and subsequent replies>

 

[RJMacready73]

No Country for Old Men and There Will be Blood

2 fantastic movies but where the hell would you even go with a sequel tbf, at least with DnD there's a veritable wealth of stories that could've been told

 

[Fuz]

No, I'm pretty sure it never happened.

 

[murmulis]

Pulp Fiction.

 

[CGNoire]

Edge of Tommorrow
TRON Legacy
Constantine

 

[Slicker than your average]

Some great movies bombed hard at the box office, that's why.

Some just don't need a sequel.

 

[bitbydeath]

Was setup for a sequel but went under the radar.

 

[RJMacready73]

Lotta movies being mentioned that where incredible movies but pretty much told their story, sequels simply would've diluted the original imo, I was more talking about films/characters set in a world that had so much more to tell

 

[Trilobit]

District 9 sequel.

A prawn even promised it'd come in three years.

 

[Mihos]

 

[phant0m]

Hobo with a shotgun.

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.

I nominate The Rundown (2003)

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Aliens

 

[22:22:22]

Edge of Tomorrow

 

[Lord Panda]

Galaxy Quest
The Man from Nowhere
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
TMNT 1990

 

[CGNoire]

District 9 sequel.

A prawn even promised it'd come in three years.

Its his next film there almost done with script. WERE GETTING DISTRICT 10 BABY!!

 

[CGNoire]

Aliens

It hurts so much I had forgotten .....

 

[CGNoire]

Thankfully I won't have to say Alita Battle Angel anymore

 

[Inspector Q]

I wish I could say Braveheart, but then this happened:

 

[F0rneus]

The End.

 

[Sonik]

Something tells me we're gonna bitterly regret asking for a sequel all these years. Other than Blade Runner I can't remember a sequel of older franchises modern Hollywood hasn't ruined.

The problem with Starship Troopers is that it didn't take the source material seriously, so had no real reason or demand for a sequel.

Going by the book, well it's cyclical, so you could make many TV series of you really wanted to.

The war was far from resolved in the movie so I think there was plenty of room for a sequel with the satire of the first movie.

Titanic just got a sequel didn't you follow the news ?

It was the extended cut.
