10 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Are Completely Unnecessary

1. Lethal Weapon 5

We're now 33 years removed from the first time Roger Murtaugh said he was getting too old for this sh*t, and it's been 22 years since he said it last, but in January it was announced that Lethal Weapon 5 was officially back in active development, with all of the major players set to return.

Riggs and Murtaugh will always be known as one of the buddy movie's most iconic duos, but the tank was starting to run out of gas long before the fourth installment was released in 1998. With another two decades on the clock, do we really need to revisit these characters again and risk diluting their legacy?

This isn't exactly going one for the young 'uns, with 64 year-old Mel Gibson and 73 year-old Danny Glover possibly being joined by the 77 year-old Joe Pesci and the 66 year-old Rene Russo in an action movie directed by 90 year-old Richard Donner.

Sure, Donner might be the same age as Clint Eastwood and he's still churning them out on a regular basis, but there's a real sense that when it comes to Lethal Weapon 5, the gang are definitely too old for this sh*t this time.

I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
