Why do sequels have such a hard time sticking the landing after the initial movie is a hit? Even more annoying, first movie comes out is great, then sequel sophomore slump then sticks the landing with movie three. Why couldn't you stick the landing with both movies? The only trilogy that I think avoids this problem is Back to the Future. Even with the absence of Crispin Glover, they're still really fun movies that you can always come back to.
