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?
1

[It] is aggressively bad, as if it wants to cause suffering to the audience .... Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times


2

At this point, there are inflatable toys that are livelier than [the star], but how can you tell the difference? [This] is not an erotic thriller. It's taxidermy.

Kyle Smith, New York Post


3

[It] is the most Disney-esque in its emotional outline, yet that outline is buried beneath an obnoxiously hyped-up pace that reduces the emotions to rubble.

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader


4

Anything that has to tell you it's wacky probably isn't, and this film practically yells in desperation, ''I'm wacky! I'm wacky!''

Caryn James, The New York Times


5

[The] much-anticipated sequel…is both phenomenally talky and loaded with action and effects. How can this be? It's long.

John Anderson, Newsday


6

It makes an audience pay for every two seconds of pleasure with 10 seconds of pain.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle


7

You know a sequel isn't working when, ten minutes into the movie, a voice inside your head starts screaming, “Please make it stop!”

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone


8

Instead of the fresh comic concept of the 1996 blockbuster, we have a calculated piece of product: a lightweight, occasionally laboured copycat skewed to a younger children's demographic to move the action figures and video sales.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail


9

A waterlogged sequel that'll soon be bottom-feeding with Beyond the Poseidon Adventure.

Mike Clark, USA Today

The rest of the cast is allowed barely more than a single note to play…The actor who comes off best is Wesley Snipes, who opted to skip the sequel.

Leonard Klady, Variety
