How many sequels is too much.

Not sure how many sequels is to much it depends on the movie what kind it is.

Saw is a perfect example. Saw was amazing. Saw 2 was good because it was a different situation from the first story, different characters, different circumstances. After that they got horrible. Last I heard was the plan is for 7 total. Ridiculous. I haven't seen 5 and I won't see 6 or 7 (or 8, 9, 10, infinity if they decide not to stop with 7). Another one is Final Destination. The story was finished, and finished well, at the end of the first but we are approaching sequel number 3 in the upcoming weeks. One of my pet peeves is when They (whoever is in charge) take a movie and rehash the same plot with a new cast of characters and call it a sequel. That is not a sequel, that is a remake. A sequel is when you have one or more of the original characters (and actors...preferably) continuing the story from the previous movie. I loved Halloween 1, 2 and 4. 3 (parenthetically titled Season of the Witch) took some bizarro-world detour away from Haddonfield to a rural farm-town being terrorized by demonic lawn gnomes and Halloween masks. But 1, 2 and 4 were good. 5, 6, 7, 8, 20 .... completely unnecessary.

No I don't think they're ever really as good as the originals. There have been a few maybe that have been good but I don't like the fact that they don't always use the same characters in the sequels that they use in the originals.
