true true^^ but ya also have to remember that some film directers that make
a sequal are soemthign can be brilliant and make it so that its better then
then previous film or the adaptation it came from..but mostly its just easy
monye...but then again lots of ideas are floating around..like jurrasic
park..everyone knows dinasaurs..but hey try and make a good movie of of
it..thats also a risk...but then again..some ppl just wanna see a sequal
movie cos they are somuch of a fan..ofcourse ppl will liek
dinosaurs..ofcourse ppl will see spiderman cos they love the comic..but liek
soemtimes they movie can be good but also upset the fans..like xmen3..i mean
come on..xavier dies..cyclops...they lose their powers..but at the end it
suguests thta they get it back cos if magneto gets it back they all get it
back..but still stuff happens that never happend in the comics and such..but
did that matter to the popularitie?
does popularitie also include dvd sell? cos i can imagine ppl seeign
titannic in the movies or lotr or xmen3 and be like whoa..or just kinda
impressed but not sot aht they'd buy the dvd later..who has titanic as dvd
anyways..
