Speedo Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Just now, Here I am, chorus in a Can said: First Zoolander and Anchorman were humorous enough. They're fun when you're in the mood for it. The sequels were abysmal though. If Anchorman 2 was the worst follow up, how can Zoolander 2 be the “same if not worse”? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverOliver Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Anchorman 2 started out ok through like 20 minutes and was awful after that. Dumb and Dumber 2 was not as bad as I feared going in but still terrible. Super Troopers 2 is by far the best comedy sequel for any franchise I grew up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarJarBlinks Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Comedy seems to be a really difficult genre to re-capture the magic of the original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're generally filled with gags from the original just altered. Austin Powers was the worst with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 I'm a big believer in "one and done" when it comes to comedies. Right now I can't think of a comedy sequel that hit the highs of the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s actually just one big dance battle in the middle of the movie. There’s a few lengthy songs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what's funny then is not so funny now. I think that's the thing about humor, it's short lived. You go on this run with this ridiculous movie, but the jokes get old when you come back to it. You could argue all of Will Farrell lead movies are the same, so I guess they are kind of like sequels, but the settings change. Also why his movies aren't funny any more unless he's a guest appearance not on The Office. I loved Old School, Wedding Crashers, Other Guys and his appearances on Eastbound and Down though. Anchorman was good at the time but Vince Vaughn is the secret to the heart behind them or whatever director for half of those, Will Farrell is just a tool for them m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so sick to death of Marvel and Star Wars, fucking identical shallow movies that all look the same and tell the same fucking stories. Thats more Marvel than Star Wars but that one can get in the bin too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
