Worst Sequel Ever

While we're on the movie topic, I recently confirmed what the worst sequel ever made is.


As a child, and even now, this was/is one of my favorite movies of all time. When I heard a couple years ago a sequel was coming out, I was initially excited. Then, I started to think about how it could be nothing but bad because it was coming out over 10 years after the original and the original was just so incredibly good that any sequel would just pale in comparison. After that, I avoided this second movie at all costs...until spring break last week. It was way worse than I ever thought it could be. Where to begin...

1. It has the same narration voice as the first movie did. I didn't quite understand why this was.
2. This movie is set in the 70's. It plays up "hey this movie takes place in the 70's" a little too much. And when I say a little, I mean excessively. The girl player keeps calling the guys "male chauvinist pigs", while the boys reply with "she's liberated." Oh, and they use the phrase "jive turkey."
   
3. Remember the showdown between the Great Hambino and the little prick baseball player? Well, it's basically repeated in this movie. A back and forth name-calling war takes place almost ending with "and you play ball like a girl", just like the original. Oh yeah, and the catcher is a red, curly-haired, porkly kid. Fortunately he is nothing compared to the Ham. He lacks that edge and coolness.
4. There's a mini Smalls.
5. There's a love story.
6. One of them kisses a girl hardcore, just like Smalls did.
7. Mini Smalls tells the story about why they shouldn't go over the fence, except this time it's slightly different.
8. And why do they need to go over the fence? For some stupid rocket thing. And of course, they go through a series of attempts to retrieve the object.

This is just a small list of why this movie blows ass. I stopped paying attention toward the end because it was so bad. I don't see why studios choose to pick up pieces of shit like this to make. Fortunately, I believe that the original can stand up on its own, and this pile won't destroy the amazing awesomeness of the original because it was just that good. Overall, it was a carbon copy of the original and most parts of the movie didn't make any sense of all.
My rating: -10 out of 10
