Underrated Movie Sequels That Deserve A Second Chance

Marvelous Videos presents underappreciated sequels to acclaimed pictures…

Sequelitis is one of the biggest plagues of the film industry. On the one hand we get it: by being successful, a movie has shown its producers that it’s a successful IP with a brand name among new audiences. On the other, sometimes a story doesn’t need to be extended- it had a perfect beginning, middle, and end, and creating anything additional after runs the risk of hurting its legacy.
