That's a very good point - when a sequel is so bad it ruins the memory of the original, that is a sad day.
As for the question of what actually constitutes a bad sequel, I think if the original is good and the sequel sucks, it makes the list. If it's a bad sequel to a bad original, it doesn't count. By that Logic, Matrix Reloaded definitely deserves to be on the list. TPM, Although not technically a sequel, was a further instalment in a beloved amd respected series that basically pissed on the memory of the originals that spawned it - again, it's place on the list is well earned and deserved. I think TPM would probably top a list of biggest movie disappointments ever. Even though AOTC was worse (amazingly), TPM still takes the prize.

But the film alludes to that fact ('how can the same shit happen to the same guy twice?') and is therefore absolved of all guilt. I am suprised that none of the Rocky sequels made it on the list. They are so bad, everyone forgets how great the orginal is.
