Producing a sequel that lives up to the success of the first film can be challenging — and some movies have failed the task more spectacularly than others.
To find out which movie sequels were worst-received by movie-goers, casino.ca used official worldwide box office earnings data and IMDb reviews to find the 20 most financially successful movie sequels ever.
Then, they analyzed more 100,000 reviews for negative words — including "rubbish," "disaster," "boring," "disappointment/disappointing," and "overrated" — and ranked the films based on the percentage of negative wording they received compared to their total reviews.
The most disappointing movie sequel overall is "Transformers: Age of Extinction," with more than half of its reviews containing negative words. The second-worst sequel is "Star Wars Ep. VII: The Last Jedi" (45 percent), followed by James Bond's 23rd film, "Skyfall" (36 percent).
Avengers: Endgame, the highest-earning sequel in the study, ranked 15th-worst on the list.
