Ben Stiller has admitted that he felt "blindsided" by the commercial and critical failure of Zoolander 2, which arrived 15 years after its much-loved predecessor.
Super Troopers 2 has the same problem. It essentially is the same movie so the good jokes don’t hit hard since they’re just more of the same, and the new jokes felt like they were just cut out of the first one for not being good enough.
Super Troopers 2 at least felt like a fun revist though, probably because you know the Broken Lizard guys really are friends and it probably wasnt just a pay cheque for them. Even their more mediocre standalone films get a huge boost from that.
And this is why I’m skeptical about Deadpool &Wolverine. Deadpool 2 was good because even though Deadpool was great there was still plenty to make fun of in the superhero genre, but I’m not sure if there’s enough fresh ground left for a 3rd one .
I can watch Deadpool 2 but I absolutely despise that kid. I mean, huge props to the actor because they did such a great job if I feel this strongly about him. But seriously, fuck that kid.
They put all their good ideas into the first one. Club Dread was a dud. Literally got one laugh out of me, and it was an ADR gag about Jimmy friggin’ Buffet.
I did not think so. It wasnt as bad as Zoolander 2, it had a few good moments but it felt more like “part 2” than a sequel… like it was a bunch of more of the same than anything bigger or better.
If you watch them back to back now it plays better than when it first came out.
Also, the original worked because it was a new idea, same as Anchorman. Take a profession, ratchet the stupid up to 11 and have fun with it.
The sequel doesnt have the same “fresh ground” to walk over.

I wish I could argue this point but I cant.

Yesss! Watch Tacoma FD on Netflix. The 30-minute episode format works fantastic for them!

As long as Ryan Reynolds has free reign I’m gonna watch the hell out of it.

Watch hunt for the wilderpeople and then you won’t hate him anymore 😂

The second Anchorman movie is almost as good as the first one imo.

That’s just a rarity
