Bruce Willis, sequels and me
Maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time doing sequel movies on the third, fourth and fifth go-round.
I rate "Die Hard" as one of the best movies I ever saw. I still remember watching it in the theater. I only went because I liked the TV show "Moonlighting" with Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd (which was on at the time), it was a slow night for me as a single, so I went to the theater and watched "Die Hard" on a whim. I was blown away.
But now the third sequel is out and I'm just not motivated by it. I'd rather Willis do another movie like "The Sixth Sense", actually. I really liked that movie, too, but it was a gimmick movie with a surprise ending and once you see a movie like that, it isn't nearly as good the second time.
Back to my opening line. I loved "Rocky" and "Rocky II" as well, but didn't care to see Rocky (whatever we're on now). I won't even rent it, I don't think. I watched the first three Star Wars movies but had no interest in the second trilogy. Am I alone on this? I guess so, because the sequels sure keep coming.
