This weeks theme for MCW hosted by Milk River Madman
while Boxer takes a well earned rest is...
"Best Sequal"
Choosing a Best Sequal is an interesting task this week as a lot of sequals just don't pass muster and could hardly be named as best after the original particularly if the original was a mega hit...
Like Speed, Miss Congeniality, Legally Blonde, 2001,
Then you have the franchise movies that seem to go on forever with a sequal following a sequal following a sequal following a sequal with a prequael thrown in for good measure...
I cite Police Academy, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, The Karate Kid, Shrek, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Superman, Batman etc etc... do you get my drift?
Picking the worst would not have been any easier as there are no end of options for crap sequals...
Particularly if they are made without the original cast members or are given such a crazy plot that they just don't bare any resemblence to the original storyline...
However, being a sucker for animated kids movies, (given that I have babysat 16 nephews and nieces over the years) I have gone with...
Toy Story 2
Fun wholesome entertainment that followed on from the original... and introduced new and interesting characters...
Heros and Villains with an intriguing storyline.
Oh ... and did I mention it was funny?
It also included some background to some of the new characters which gave them more purpose for being there.
All in all a great followup to a brilliant original concept
Happy MCW!
