A quick quiz. Name three movie sequels that were better than the original. Quickly. Now, we’re guessing your answers included The Godfather: Part II , Aliens and The Empire Strikes Back. Right? Because they are the only good sequels ever. Sequels are rubbish. Hecklerspray would like to knife it’s eyes out rather than watch another cakky sequel. Honestly.

It’s a heartwrenching thing to watch a half-baked rehash of a decent movie. People forget how good the 1989 Batman movie was because their memories are tainted by the image George Clooney prancing around like the tooth fairy in a nippley batsuit during Batman And Robin.

And most people who enjoyed the first Ghostbusters should consider electroshock therapy to scrub their brains of the part in the second one where the Statue Of Liberty starts dancing like Tina Turner, if Tina Turner was a concrete giant princess given as a gift to America by the French.

Incidentally, Robert DeNiro – don’t make Taxi Driver 2. Please. We know you’re thinking about it. But don’t. Really. Nobody wants to see it. Not even your Mum.

But what’s worse than a bad sequel? That’s right. A pointless one. Hecklerspray first became aware of this growing pointless sequel trend halfway through Ocean’s 12,
when the entire audience had a simultaneous panic attack as it realised
that their lives were two hours shorter from watching the utter smug
worthlessness of the movie.

And now there’s Miss Congeniality 2. What, the first one didn’t answer all the questions raised? Come to think of it, the only question the original raised was "What the hell have I done to deserve seeing THIS?"

Therapists like to suggest that their patients must hit ‘rock
bottom’ before they realise they need to turn their life around. Surely
the pointless sequel rock bottom is on it’s way with the recent
announcement of The Butterfly Effect 2.

This movie will be pointless for so many reasons.

None of the actors from the first one will be in it (never a good
sign), so we won’t be able to see the part in the first one – the only
good part – where Ashton Kutcher offers to suck off some Nazis.

The story appears to be more or less be exactly the same as the first one, though we’re waiting to be proved wrong on this one.

And it will be directed by John Leonetti, who also directed Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, a pointless sequel of a pointless movie version of a pointless computer game. Get the point?

This has to be the nadir. There can be no film made more useless than this. Unless some dumbass decides to make Pushing Tin 2 – Son Of Pushing Tin.
