WarGames is one of those movies that you occasionally hear mentioned when somebody talks about "movies from the '80s about computers" (or glimpse late at night on some obscure TV channel you're flicking through), though it's safe to say that it's not considered to be a real classic. I'd be shocked to hear if anybody's favourite movie was WarGames, is what I'm saying. If it is, I apologise. I'm sure you have your reasons. Anyway, the point I'm making is that WarGames didn't need a sequel, nor did it deserve one. There were no grounds. You know what's coming, of course: WarGames: The Dead Code, a follow-up that comes a whopping 25 years after the original flick, which concerned Matthew Broderick and a plot about how he almost starts a nuclear war using his computer. "Why did they get this sequel going?" you're probably wondering, to which I can only stare blankly into a corner and avoid answering. I don't know. The plot for the sequel, which stars Matt Lanter, mostly involves running away from terrorists in Montreal. It's about as much fun to watch as a nuclear war, that's for sure.
