10 Most Worthless Sequels Of 2015

Not all sequels are made equal. For every sequel that actually ends up being worthwhile, the general public are met with at least eight or nine completely inessential ones - sequels that only serve to ruin the reputations of the assumedly good movies that came before them. Sequels are really good at making money, though, so it would be dumb to pretend that we don't know why they exist in such an abundance: they're guaranteed cash cows, folks. But back to that "most sequels are worthless" thing. Let's face it: the word "sequel" rarely conjures up visions of "brilliant narrative structure" and "logical story beats." Instead, we tend to associate them with our favourite characters jumping the shark, nuking the fridge, and, uh, whatever else people are saying nowadays to put across the point that the majority of sequels fail to capture the magic of the movies that inspired them in the first place. 2015 is no different from 2014 (or 2013 or 2012 or...) in the sense that it, too, will play host to a whole bunch of sequels nobody wanted, needed or asked for.
