Agreed. You know at Shrek 2, they developed story about a guy (Shrek) who didn’t want to live in Far Far Away. At Shrek The Third the problem is about Shrek didn’t want to rule Far Far Away. It always goes with the same problem over and over again.

I just can’t imagine if Kung Fu sequels always goes around the Panda fat problem. It was hilarious at the first movie, but will got very annoying at the second, third, forth, fifth, and sixth movie.

Sequels always work best for characters who are always looking for trouble, or when trouble’s always looking for them. I think “Kung Fu Panda” may have promise because of the subject matter. “Shrek,” on the other hand, is about a loner who just wants to stay in his swamp, and logically shouldn’t be hiking across the countryside every time things turn sour.

What bugs me most about sequels is that studios seem to make the announcement before even deciding on a story. How are excited are we supposed to be when even they don’t know what they’re doing yet?

However, a 2nd one would was not something I anticipated, regardless of how much it made. I know the Hollywood machine will take advantage wherever it can to exploit an opportunity, but as long as they keep with the same premise and try to target the right market (for itself) and not try to cater to everyone, it should do well. However, someone will drop the ball, as is the case with sequels. We can only hope the story will be a good one.
