10 Movie Sequels That Completely Misunderstood the Original (CBR.com)

"The general definition of a movie sequel is that it carries the same—or similar—narrative forward, sometimes incorporating new cast members or changing the setting. Another criterion is that the sequel usually takes place after the original story (in chronological terms). They also have the potential to turn into a series should producers happen to believe in the franchise's marketability. Movie sequels are often given the same titles as their predecessors (with a number or a subtitle attached), but there have been examples that change the name entirely—like Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008). Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that sequels either fail to capture the spirit of the original films or just completely deviate from the concept." - cbr.com
