Don't you just hate Sequels?

I'm just looking at what movies we have to watch and I've just come across the Butterfly Effect 2. I mean come on. Butterfly Effect (the 1st one) was a good film I thought. Why is there a need for a sequel? They just taking it too bloody far. Granted that there are some good sequels out there and some you do expect there would be a sequel because it was a big blockbuster type continuation film.
But in alot of cases where the film is just mediocre, what is the point? They just tend to bring it out with a whole cast of poeple that noone has ever heard of. I suppose from the point of view that they get exposed as actors is a good thing, but if the film is crap what's the point? Everybody has to start somewhere I guess.
SAW - was a funny film, SAW 2 - ok didn't bother to watch it as the 1st one wasn't scary, then now SAW 3 and they didn't waste no time on that either ent? Although I saw that 3 people passed in the cinema from watching it? I just can't be bothered, although I eventually will want to see what all the fuss was about. Its just getting on my nerves. Thing is most horror movies aren't that good or scary anyway why are they doing this?
Final Destination lot was pretty good though. I like the Harry Potter, Narnia, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, Superhero blockbuster movies - I like all of these because they are more like a series and you know they're bringing out more to follow up but in a good way. Although I was disappointed with Dead Man's Chest as it just seemed like an advert for the next episode of Pirates of the Caribbean. But to my defense watching Johnny Depp & Orlando Bloom for a couple of hours is worth it. Amercian Pie went too far with American Pie presents band camp. I love the Wayans Brothers so Scary Movies are just fine thank you very much.
But most times I think I rather the cast,crew & producers ask for a donation instead of being pathetic and trying to suck things dry. Its not ok for every type of movie to have a sequel just because everyone else seems to be doing it.

Love film. Given up on horrors.

Couldn't believe my eyes and just needed to rant a bit.
