Typing this last to apologize in advance, my response turned into a bit of a rant. I'm gonna leave it as is, tho.

No, but it is yet another sequel of a movie/franchise that's had no activity for at least 10 years. Just like the new Naked Gun, Star Wars, Gladiator, Meet the Parents, Scary Movie, Toy Story, Shrek, Indiana Jones, The Devil Wears Prada, etc. Hollywood keeps making more stuff of established movies, many of which do not need a(nother) sequel, and I am sick and tired of it. And I'm not alone, but I do seem to be rather rare in actually doing something against it.

A few years ago, I saw an amazing movie called Juror #2 with a friend. It was within the first week of release in our country, but we were in a rather small room which wasn't even full yet. You know what was drawing a crowd? Gladiator II. Gladiator is an amazing movie, that does not need a fucking sequel. Now I've read some rumours that they are making a third one. I hate that everything good is being franchised to death, and I cannot for the life of me understand why so many people put up with it.
