Last month we featured Dropping Bombs, a quiz celebrating (sometimes) terrible movies and the wonderful reviews that accompanied them. It was well-received, so like any good Hollywood studio would, we’ve prepared a sequel. Below are 10 sequels or installments in movie franchises. Can you match the movie with the vicious review it got in the press?
Take the Quiz: Dropping Bombs II
80%–got Be Cool and Blues Brothers 2000 mixed up. Never saw Be Cool, but its review fit exactly my sentiments for BB2K–10 minutes in, I was screaming, “Please make it stop!”

Is Liam Lacey’s quote incorrect? I had originally thought that was describing Men in Black, but then I realized MiB came out in 1997, not 1996.

Heck yeah 80%! I love these quizzes. Maybe you can switch it up and find people who gave good reviews to awful movies.

A few big tells in the reviews made this easier, but I still dig these.
Suggestion: Remove “Mr. Schneider” from the first quote.

Thank God I haven’t seen BB2K or Be Cool.
