Check out 22 of the greatest films of the past few decades...and their not so great sequels. Can you believe Home Alone spanned into five films??
1. Mean Girls (2004) & Mean Girls 2 (2011)
Easily one of the most iconic films after the turn of the millennium, Mean Girls brought us a brilliant cast including Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, Tina Fey & Amy Poehler, as well as valuable lessons one should know when entering high school. Its sequel however… well hands up who saw it? Because we did, and it was terrible.
Not only was there a 10-year difference between the original and its sequel, but the 1995 film was very enjoyable given its crime comedy genre with witty lines and plenty of guns fired. Its sequel? Well it was cheesy, full of promising actors but annoyingly stereotypically Hollywood, and bad. If you enjoyed the first one, don’t watch the second.18. Get Shorty (1995) & Be Cool (2005)
