I missed it in theatres, so I picked 'er up on DVD. Save yourself the trouble...it suck-diddly-ucks.
Why the hell couldn't they have just adapted Shatner's book The Return for the next Trek movie? Ties in every loose end you ever thought of for the TOS, TNG, and DS9 crews, and the Borg. Awesome x3. Go pick it up! Schnell!
Star wipe, and...we're out. Thrillin' ain't easy.

Revenge of the Nerds 3: The Next Generation - not bad, but takes Nerd bashing to a new low.
Revenge of the Nerds 4: Nerds in Love - Luis and his wife have a chil. His father says "Behold the Nerd-Child" and killed the franchise.
Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House - brought back the charaters from the first two films, but they were all recast. French Stewart is no Joe Peshi!
Inspector Gadget 2 - Once again, the entire cast is recast. French Stewart is no Matthew Broderic!
Jack Frost 2 - This is the sequal to the horror movie Jack Frost, not the Family Film that stared Michael Keaton. If you've seen the first film, the sequal just doesn't make sence.
Men in Black 2 - Soryy, I HAD to list it. I felt this brought shame to the first one. Why would Kay watch his old girlfriend in part 1, if he fell for an alien in a flashback in part 2? Plus, they have a daughter. Kay's white, the alien looks white, yet the daughter is black? Does that make sence? And now Jay is the top agent, and STILL doesn't know everything?
Mortal Kombat 2 - Too many charaters, not enough time. Plus, three of the main charaters were recast! And did you see the travisty they did to Raiden?
Look Who's Talking 3 - Talking dogs? Nuff said.
Psycho 4: The Beginning - Just bad. Norman Bates calles a radio station and tells the events that lead up to the original Psycho. WHY?
The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult - A good film, but doesn't have the same laughable feeling that the first two did.
Wyane's World 2 - Not for the movie, just the end. I know it's Whayne's World and all, but the end just didn't make sence to me.
Babe 2: Pig in the City - nuff said.
Blues Brothers 2000 = BAD, JUST BAD! They should have just gotten Jim Belushi to do it, instead of John Goodman.
Hannibal - Should have never been made without Jodie Foster. Did I mention that I hate recasts?
Shock Treatment - This is the sequal to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Brad and Janet are now married, and going through problems. Brad is put in an asylum, and Janet is seduced by a TV show. nice songs, but just overall bad.
Grease 2 - Should have followed Sandy and Danny in life, instead of going back to that High School.
The Neverending Story 3: The Final Chapter - Bastion is back in the book, and the story is rewritten by the bullies that chased him in part 1. Funny thing is that this lead to a cartoon show that aired on HBO.
Staying Alive - the sequal to "Saturday Night Fever" follows John Travolta's charater as he goes off to be a dancer on Broadway. Bad, just bad.
The Karate Kid II was no great shakes, but The Karate Kid III was just bad, bad, BAD. I never saw The Next Karate Kid, but it's gotta make this list just for the fact that it exists.

And the Lord said, "Behold! I give unto thee..." MIB 2 is not a bad movie; it's just not quite as good as the first.

I'll toss my opinion into the worst sequals of all time
Porky's 2 and 3. The first one was a classic! Hilarious movie. Second and third ones just didn't live up to the first.
I'll add more later when I think of them.
Edit: Oh yeah, Frosty the snowman 2: Frosty Returns. John Goodman does not make me convinced he's Frosty. At least bring back the original for cryin out loud!
Originally posted by GrubbyLongJohnsHow about House Part FOUR??? yes, there was a fourth one made. I never saw it, but from I've heard from people who've seen it...it's horrible. Kid n' Play aren't even in it.
Before I figured out this was a typo, I thought somehow there'd been three sequels to House that I'd managed to never hear of!
DISCLAIMER: I never saw "House," neither, actually
Actually, there were 3 sequels to House. there's House II: the secound story, House III which was released here in the states as The Horror Show, and House IV: Home Deadly Home which brought William Katt backfrom the first one.
Cerebus: Barbarian, Prime Minister, Pope, Perfect House Guest.

The Next Karate Kid was a sequel in name only. The only person that returned from the previous movies was Pat Morita. It was passable at best, but if this were a career highlight, I would not brag about that career....
If the foolish man built his house on the sand, why is beach-front property so expensive?!
How in god's name can you say Predator 2?!?! It wasn't the best sequel ever but it was a pretty sweet movie, the ending was wicked cool with Glover standing there with all the Predators around and him just looking around with this "I'm fucked" look. Classic.
The ending WAS cool... I couldn't wait to turn that crap off. I hated the dialogue. I hated the cast... Morton Downey Jr?? Ugh. Besides, how are you going to make a sequel without the star in the original? Where's Arnold? Oh yeah, he was out shooting "Total Recall" when this was made.
Call me crazy, but I'm not a fan of bringing evil monsters/killers/psycho murderers to the city and out of their elements. Think Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan. Or Leprechaun 2, 3, and this year's Leprechaun: Back 2 Da Hood. Thank goodness little Warwick Davis has that Harry Potter gig to fall back on.

Did you notice all the trophy skulls in the background? There was a Xenermorph (sp?) skull amongst them. Directors going for a "Our Alien's tougher than your alien" thing.

Beethoven's Second
There's also Beethoven's Third and Beethoven's Fourth.
A couple of weeks ago, they released Beethoven's 5th, on the same day they released The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration. (And here's something I don't get. They released a box set of TLBT I-IV and another of TLBT V-VIII at the same time as TLBT X. What happens if I get a hankering to watch TLBT IX? Am I just screwed? And what's stupider, they also re-released TLBT I separately. Shouldn't they have just done the box sets as II-V and VI-IX? Or am I just thinking about this waaaaaaaaay too much?)
Mmmm... Ashley Judd. The perfect woman. 1) Absolutely gorgeous. 2) Loves UK basketball. 3) Was on Star Trek. What more can you ask for?

Men In Black 2 is the same movie as the first one. Right down to the ending. What a waste of money that thing was...
Speaking of wasted money, and I don't care who disagrees with me, I want mine back for those two absymal, over-long, self-imporant, drawn-out, incomprehensible Matrix sequels I had to suffer through this year.
