I care because Robocop doesn't look as good with Robocop 2 and Robocop 3 on its heels. These were 2 of the worst sequels ever made that tarnished a really cool and extreme sci-fi action film.

And Superman III and Superman IV killed off a franchise for 20+ years because some idiot studio exec thought Richard Pryor belonged in a comic book movie. Just left a bad taste in my mouth, and has prevented me from buying the first two on DVD.

I don't oppose sequels in general. I oppose BAD sequels. But hey, maybe Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift is a good idea and will become a runaway hit like the first film. And maybe Sharon Stone will be more naked and do a spread eagle in Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction.

Who has been waiting for Santa Clause 3? I haven't, but it's still coming. The Garfield sequel movie? Didn't even see the first one yet.

Scary Movie 4, with Shaquille O'Neal and Dr. Phil. There's a blockbuster waiting to happen.

But I digress. I am very much looking forward to X3, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and Mission: Impossible 3.
