Meryl Streep is my idol – the lady can merely do no unsuitable, in my eyes.
I’ve spent hours watching her performing masterpieces and The Satan Wears Prada is up there with one among my favorite movies of hers.
This being so, you’d assume I would be over the moon {that a} Satan Wears Prada 2 is on the horizon. However that is not the case – I’m really dreading it.

Maybe I am only a main cynic, however I’m a agency believer {that a} film sequel is as a rule destined to be a flop, and the depth of that flop will range relying on the success of the unique movie.
If the OG movie is a banger and anticipation for an additional is excessive, I am satisfied it can not often, if ever, stay as much as the hype.
The Satan Wears Prada has been an iconic movie for nearly twenty years and hype for the sequel is clearly by way of the roof, with followers (myself included) lapping up all of the snaps popping out of the filming that’s at the moment underway.
I am frankly so nervous that every one this hype will come crashing down in a single massive disappointment when the movie is lastly launched – why meddle with perfection?

I’m conscious, nevertheless, this cynicism could also be borne out of the truth that I used to be as soon as very sorely disenchanted by a sequel I used to be desperately excited for – within the type of one other Meryl Streep traditional.
When information a Mamma Mia sequel was popping out in 2018, I used to be over the moon and the movie couldn’t have come sooner.
However when it did and I sat down with a few of my closest girlfriends to observe it, I used to be left defeated and must today vowed to by no means watch it once more (I’m conscious that is certainly very dramatic, however I stand by it).

Within the movie’s protection, I’ve heard from different individuals who liked the sequel and maybe my disappointment stemmed primarily from the actual fact Streep was absent from it, apart from a measly cameo – however I stand by my level.
It is also not simply the Mamma Mia sequel that is been a disappointment. The sequel to the enduring noughties movie Imply Ladies was famously a flop and Automobiles 2 actually did not should be made.
And whereas they have been respectable films, I am satisfied the sequels to The Incredibles, Toy Story, Earlier than Dawn and The Princess Diaries all pale compared to the unique movies (I am now realising this record is outing my slightly juvenile film style – please excuse).

I am additionally not the one one who has been let down by a sequel expertise. I spoke to a couple members of the 9honey group who recalled their very own sequel let-downs.
“Velocity 2 might be the worst sequel of all time contemplating what a banger the unique is,” one group member advised me.
“The second Inbetweeners film was garbage and pointless, the unique was class,” stated one other, who added that “Toy Story 4 wasn’t wanted both after how godly [number] three was”.
One of many horror followers amongst us stated whereas The Conjuring 1 “slapped” she did not love The Conjuring 2 and “the third ought to’ve by no means been made.”
See, it isn’t simply me! Sure, there are such a lot of extra sequels on the market that I have not talked about however absolutely you are beginning to see the sample right here.
For a every day dose of 9honey, subscribe to our publication right here.
It is also not simply The Satan Wears Prada 2 that I really feel we must be cautious of. It seems we’re within the midst of sequel-mania in the mean time.
It has been confirmed a sequel to the beloved movie Bend It Like Beckham is on its method and there have been whispers a Coyote Ugly remake is on the playing cards 25 years after the unique was launched.
In the meantime, Freakier Friday, the sequel to the beloved 2003 movie Freaky Friday, that includes Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee-Curtis premiered in Los Angeles final week and Blissful Gilmore 2 dropped on Netflix final week.
The response to all these sequels will both show my idea of sequel-floppery proper or will show I’ve chosen a slightly pointless hill to die on.

And once I think about the ideas of a few of my different co-workers, I realise I could also be slightly alone on this hill.
One group member professed “Madagascar 2 was method higher than primary” and that the third Excessive College Musical film is the most effective of the franchise with “higher songs and higher performing”.
In the meantime, a fellow Excessive College Musical fan agreed the sequels are superior whereas one other group member pressured that the Paddington sequels are “glorious”.
The Finest and Worst Film Sequels Ever
And hey, whereas I do fear that these sequels are on a quick prepare to flopsville, I would not thoughts to be confirmed unsuitable.
There’s nothing fairly like a very good nostalgic movie and perhaps that is precisely what these sequels will probably be (though I am uncertain).

Apart from, within the case of The Satan Wears Prada 2, Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are all impeccable actors who I am certain (and I truthfully hope) will be capable to ship one thing simply as iconic as the primary – and show my idea unsuitable.
And let’s be sincere, every thing Meryl touches turns to gold so I assume I actually don’t have anything to fret about.
Regardless of all my lamenting, I will probably be going to see the film as quickly because it’s launched so I will discover out for myself quickly sufficient.
That is all.
