10 Sequels That Ruined Great Movie Endings

9. Men In Black 2

Men in Black is the kind of Hollywood blockbuster they just don't make anymore. Not only was it an imaginative visual spectacle back in the day, with a now-iconic sense of style (and a killer theme song) that was instantly recognisable, but it was full of heart.

In comparison to other movies in the franchise - like 2019's International - the world of Men in Black was grounded and tactile, and the characters were surprisingly nuanced.

I'm not saying it was Taxi Driver or anything - after all, the first film sees Vincent D'Onofrio playing an alien bug squeezed into a man's skin, and all the comic-book style acting that comes with a role like that - but the flick brought the emotion in the dynamic between the two leads.

There was a genuinely poignant arc to Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K especially, who ends the movie by retiring and returning to live a normal life, unsure whether spending his life looking out to the stars has meant he's let everything on Earth pass him by.

It's a tender moment... one which the sequel wastes little time in undoing by bringing K back into the fold because more aliens needed shooting.
