The Two Towers
Superman 2



Bad

Hah, never caught that one actually. How about this one: Wasn't Luke Skywalker supposed to be well hidden from his father? He was at Darth Vader’s half brothers’ house on Darth’s home planet. And nobody even bothered to change his last name. How hard would it be to sense him with the force and find him, really?

RC 3 nearly killed me

[nimrod68]

Bad:

Alien 3

I mean they take all but one of the survivors from Aliens and kill them off during the OPENING CREDITS of the third movie! Only David Fincher's direction and the cinematography keep this one in my collection.

Bishop wasn't killed off, he was just thrown in the trash heap, he made a small appearance in the third one, but he's an "artificial person" so maybe that doesn't count. lol.

I don't feel bad for Michael Biehn (Cpl Hicks), he got paid more for them using his picture in Alien 3, then he got for acting in Aliens.

I really enjoy the Director's cut on the Quadrilogy set of Alien 3! I am not a fan of the theatrical cut...seems too forced by the movie studio.

[WickyWoo]

BAD:
RoboCop 2
Mortal Kombat 2
Shrek 3
Highlander: The Source
Batman and Robin

You pick Highlander: The Source which was horrible, and not 2 or 3? 4 was barely passable

Hah, never caught that one actually. How about this one: Wasn't Luke Skywalker supposed to be well hidden from his father? He was at Darth Vader’s half brothers’ house on Darth’s home planet. And nobody even bothered to change his last name. How hard would it be to sense him with the force and find him, really?

Cause he wasn't looking for him and had no desire to ever EVER go back there

[Lsalas76]

IN MY OPINION:
Good:
Superman II
Star Wars V, VI, and I kind of liked Revenge of the Sith as well
Indiana Jones II-III
Lord of the Rings Return of the king
Terminator 2
Bourne Ultimatum


Bad:
Batman and Robin( pure garbage)
Rocky V
Rocky Balboa
Nightmare on Elm Street 2, and anything after 4( I kind of liked 3)
Shrek 3
Halloween III
Karate Kid II-III
The Crow City of Angels
The Crow Wicked Prayer(pure garbage as well)
spider-man 3
Friday the 13th IV-X
Superman III-IV

[coachD]

Good:

Aliens (best sequel ever, I like it better than the original, and I love the original).

Dirty Harry: Magnum Force (young david soul, good cop vs bad cops).

Why wouldn't he look for him? I guess he just took Palpatine's word that Padme died on Mustafar? Neither of them actually witnessed her death. I find it hard to believe that Anakin/Darth, as obsessed with Padme as he was, would have just let everything slide when he heard through the grapevine that his woman and child(ren) didn't make it.
