10 Worst Sequels Of 2014

5. Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

Had Robert Rodriguez got his butt into gear a bit sooner and started on a sequel to 2005's Sin City - oh - a year or two after the first movie came out, audiences might have been a little more excited when it shipped into theatres at a time when it felt relevant. As it stands, Rodriguez waited almost a decade to follow-up his comic book classic, releasing it here in 2014, at a point when people were more like: "Mm, I'm sort of over that now. Maybe I'll watch it at a later date on DVD or something." Which is an incredibly long and convoluted way of saying that Sin City: A Dame To Kill For flopped at the box office, cementing Rodriguez as another talented Hollywood director who can't seem to catch a break. Then again, perhaps he should try to make better movies; A Dame To Kill For was, after all, a p*ss poor excuse for cinema. Boring, overacted and - in places - bewildering, this belated sequel isn't as cool as it thinks it is. After about twenty minutes, you start to wish Rodriguez hadn't bothered.
