the reason most of the sequels are bad is the reason most franchises are horrible after the 1st film or 2.

1) over exposure. the 'creatures' are more interesting when they are still a mystery

2) poor writing. sequels are usually made to make $$$ not because someone was inspired with a great new story to tell. they quickly run out of ideas

3) poor direction. once the initial filmmaker gains fame - he/she moves on and they give the sequels to up and comers.. people with little or no experience.

4) the origional cast is long gone by now. everyone you liked - except for the one person (usually the villian) they are trying to hang the franchise on has buggered off.


i believe these rules apply to every series that have run to #4 or more.
