The Iron Giant. Why don’t we ever see him come back?
Kung Fury has a sequel and it’s been finished for several years, I’m just suprised the damn movie hasn’t released yet. They were suing some company because they were owed money by them but that’s settled now and we have no word as to why it’s not out yet.

Elf.
I know Will turned down an obscene amount of money for it, and it was prolly the right decision, but I’m still surprised a sequel never got made given how popular Elf continues to be.
Still waiting for the Zootopia sequel. Genuinely good and creative movie that used the format to talk about tricky topics with some cushion and then became a cult favorite. They added some extra stuff under Zootopia+, they tee’d up the buddy cop format, did all this world building and then… what, Disney, this is the one IP you’re not going to squeeze for all its worth? Where’s the next one?
I’m holding out for a movie and Frozone.
They are making a sequel to it.
Hopefully, we’ll find out who is getting milked to make the ice cream.
Cats.
Master and Commander. It’s atmospheric and fun, and I’m sad they didn’t make more with that cast.
I really liked the books. I thought the movie was good, but it didn’t scratch the same itch the books did.
I’d love to see them make the books into a series of movies like with Sharpe or Hornblower.
Favourite movie of all time!
I read something about that a while ago. If I recall correctly, it was intended to be a franchise, but Master and Commander was so incredibly expensive that they decided against it.
I responded to this on another comment but from what I remember they got torpedoed by the MCU and thought they wouldn’t be able to compete against them…however reading these comments here gives me hope as everyone seems to be over the CGIverse now.
That’s surprising. Master and Commander came out in 2003, years before the first MCU film was released.
Worth every penny, IMO.
And there’s a whole bunch of more books to be adapted. That movie was so perfectly done I wish it had worked enough to allow a whole series of sequels.
In 2021 there was some planning/writing done for a prequel, but I don’t think anything came of it.
That film is having a bit of a cultural comeback, so there’s still hope.
That’s good to hear. I haven’t read any of the books (not my preferred literary genre) so I didn’t have a preconception of the Aubrey character. This sadly left me loving Russell Crow as Aubrey, and I’ll have a hard time with anyone else playing him. Crow is 59, now; he might still be able to get away with it.

Edge of Tomorrow. Not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but that one really gets me. Emily Blunt is awesome in it. Went in not expecting much, but I was blown away.
Watched it last year and immediately searched to see if there was sequel in the pipe. Development hell.
I would love more, but how? It was a rather self contained story.
Wrap a much larger time loop around the first movie.
In the book there are some references to Rita (Emily Blunt) fighting in various places and I think her getting her start in South America. Might be remembering that one wrong, but a prequel with her learning how to fight the monsters would have been good if they stuck more to the book.
Pacific Rim, such a great fun mechs vs monsters movie that had a gritty feeling to it. Not over the top fantastical bullshit with flips or garish colors, just solid, slow, huge mechs fighting solid, slowish, sea monsters.
Have I got a movie for you to watch! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2557478/
Let’s just pretend that film never released.
Beat me to it. Hahaha.
That movie was so bad
It’s like they took everything in the original that made it work and threw it out.
For people wondering how much impact a film director makes, this is a prime example.
I point to those two movies to illustrate a great director as opposed to an average one.
Pacific Rim is a brilliant film that pays homage to multiple films and genres.
Pacific Rim: Uprising is a terrible film that completely missed the point of the first movie.
Sicario 1 and 2 as well except it’s an example of an amazing director vs. a competent one.
At least Sicario 2 is quite watchable and has some amazing scenes. Can’t say the same for Pacific Rim 2. That one’s just bad and not even in a fun way. As you say, all the things that made the original work. It managed to miss all of them.
No.
