Film sequels can be tricky and in many cases may not be as good as the original. With the case of Finding Dory, I feel as if Pixar created a sequel that, although it didn’t feel as good as the original for me, was still great. Sequels can be a joy to have in films however it is not always the right choice. Lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place too often, and I think you’ve got to move beyond it, go the extra mile and have the courage not to just repeat the first one.” –Colin Firth, Actor If a sequel where to be made of this video game I feel that it would be more effective to make a story revolving around a new set of characters.
It’s an incredibly emotion driven experience and cinematic story and it’s character acres, which can be difficult to continue in film sequels, seem to reach a climax at the end. I wouldn’t usually mention video games in my articles (unfortunately) however, one good example of a game that feel much like a film that would seem to be very difficult to make a sequel for would be The Last of Us. “A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don’t want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one.” –Sandra Bullock, Actress “The Dark Knight” was its own movie and it raised the bar. One of the reasons I feel this movie was such an incredible sequel was because the filmmakers didn’t rely on the first by making references to it and slowing down the plot. While there are plenty of examples of incredible films without a sequel such as “Pulp Fiction”, “No Country for Old Men” and “Jaws,” I feel that there are instances when a sequel can be better than its predecessor. The common thought is that the best movies have no sequels. “At Pixar, we do sequels only when we come up with a great idea, and we always strive to be different than the original.” –John Lasseter, Creative Officer at Pixar
If a sequel is made so that more money can be garnered than it shouldn’t be made. If a sequel is made for the sake of making a sequel without enough potential story, then it shouldn’t be made. The demands are so high and it’s expensive.” –Jan de Bont, Cinematographer “It’s always an enormous pressure when you do a sequel.
Watching the film got me thinking about how risky sequels can be. I still felt that Finding Dory served as a good companion to its predecessor despite its lesser emotional content. I suspected I wouldn’t enjoy the sequel as much as the first film and I was right, This isn’t to say Finding Dory was a bad movie, it’s great. Last week I decided to watch “Finding Dory” wondering how it would match its predecessor. Image from When a film is extraordinary it’s hard to make a sequel that can match it, and a lot of pressure can be put on film makers when making a sequel.
