13 Awful Movie Sequel Titles We Wish Were Scrapped
Yes, things have actually been worse than Terminator: Genisys.
What is it about movie sequels that just turns studios into blithering idiots? Aside from the fact that the vast majority of sequels are movies nobody really needs or wants, they often also end up with laughably awful titles, as evidenced no better than with the announcement this past week that the upcoming fifth Terminator film is to be named Terminator: Genisys. As cynical movie studios increasingly rely more on sequels to rake in the cash, it's no surprise that we're hearing more and more terrible sequel titles coming down the pike, and that's before we even get to talking about the movies themselves, which not-so-coincidentally also happen to be pretty terrible for the most part. Unsurprisingly, a healthy chunk of our selections for this list came from the horror genre, because it simply has a disproportionate number of sequels, and the usually cheap, redundant nature of these movies means that the studios aren't really fussed about coming up with a title that doesn't make us laugh hysterically: they're probably going to make money regardless, right? Still, they could have put just a little more thought into these 13 awful movie sequel titles, which for the most part sound like they were randomly generated by a computer rather than actually concocted by someone with a fully functioning brain stem.
