    Four weddings and a funeral.
    What happened next? Did they all live happily ever after?

    It would have been nice to see the sequel to Prometheus. Instead of the sequel to the sequel :mad:

    Shawshank was hackneyed shite. Happy ever after? Bollox to that. I hope his boat sank.

    Sequels are generally a bad idea. If the original movie was good a sequel will be disappointing. If it was crap then why bother?

    his is the reason why i said i wouldnt want a sequel , it would ruin the film.
    another 10 minutes in the film would be great.



    fyi , it is easily one of the best , voted for loads of times.
    happily ever after, 2 suicides and i guy murdered and an inocent man conviced for years. , more like justace served in the end

    Tru Calling. It was pretty good but it looked like it was about to get even better but it was cancelled and ended abruptly.

    Quantum Leap. The last episode was supposed to be an end of series cliffhanger but it was cancelled and they tacked on some nonsense text at the end to make it look like it was the end of the entire story.

    It was already an hour too long. The fact that it's the top movie on IMDb just proves it was hackneyed. It's the X-Factor of movies. The only original thing about it was how totally lacking in originality it is. And what's worse is that it was heartwarming.

    It proves it had an affect on people which is exactly what great art should do.

    Not everything has to be edgy and different.Sometimes a simple story told well can be great.

    Friday the 13th part 23.

    Serious answer, Alien 5, the potentially disastrous Aliens sequel that would STILL be better than that sh*t-fest Prometheus and Prometheus 2 -the-prequel-no-one-wanted-but-youre-gonna-get-6-more.

    Agreed. Forrest Gump is a good example of a simple story told with plenty of originality.

    Shawshank is paining by numbers. It spoon feeds the audience. It's full of plot holes and silly mistakes. Are we meant to believe he digs a tunnel two handfuls a night? Because that's all he gets rid of in the yard each day.

    Tim Robbins acting is wooden. The governor is cartoonishly evil. The story on the whole is fairly dull. And the ending is pure Hollywood sacherine. The only thing that saves it from being truly awful is Morgan Freemans narration.

    And this is meant to be the zenith of moviemaking? Even Kubrick at his worst (ie. Eyes Wide Shut) is better than this.

    The Wire. I read some article there last week about what the characters of the show would be doing now, ten years after the shows end (I know it's actually 9 years since the show ended, but ten sounds better to me). After reading it I think they could easily do a follow up to The Wire.

    Here's a link to the article I read.
