Re: Why do people think sequels ruin movies?
Sometimes they ruin the movies, but look at the HP series, all the movies rocked, especially Deathly Hallows 1 & 2.
I think it helps if the writers have books they have to follow.

The directors of Eragon only used the books as guidelines, its their own fault the movie had a completely different storyline.

True. I love the Eragon books btw! However, just because there is a book that the movie is based off of doesn't mean it will work I was just using Eragon as an example.

They'd be basing the whole underminer thing on a video game if they did that.

doubt it. it would take place a few years after since they keep to "real" timelines.
Like the actual number of years passing before TS3 came out that it would have taken for a real life Andy to be college aged. Cars 2 did the same thing! It was 5 years since the release. Lightning didn't win a Piston Cup that year but he has won 4 since Cars and the Piston/Hudson Hornet races are (i assume) annual.
I would love to see I2 focus on Violet

No, only the original trilogy.
Metacritic: The Phantom Menace comes in at a rating of 52
Attack of the Clones at 53
And I do agree that Revenge of the Sith is the best prequel coming at 68.
But all of those are measly compared to the 90 somethings of Star Wars New Hope. And I don't even get why they hate RotJ so much on there.this.
the original saga was absolutely awesome.
but episode 1, 2 and 3 (the prequel thingies) are HORRIBLE.
absolute RUBBISH.
