You create a charecter, people love it and want to see more of it so a sequel is great for that. What if Jaws 2 had no shark? What if there was no time traveling in Back to the Future 2? When I watch a sequel I merely expect a continuation of the previous storyline, that's it. I think sequels could change settings more often which really lends itself to a new experience like Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick. Those movies contained the same main charecter going around and being a badass but because the setting changed the two movies were seperate experiences and in my opinion were in two different genres. I don't know, I'll go see Passion of the Clerks and expect more clerkiness, I'll go see Spaceballs 2 and expect an irreverent space comedy, and I'll go see XMen 3 and expect... wait no I won't.

I think Tommy SHOULD have become the killer. The series got lamer and lamer once they made Jason actually come back from the dead (he never actually died until the end of part 4)
