Let's hope it doesn't suck as much as the second one.
Call me a geek, but I was just thinking of the mathematics (well, statistics) of sequel-suckage. The essence of it is, let's say that the original movie is 90% good (by averaging out critics' scores or something). Now let's assume that the director, writer, cast, budget, etc. have absolutely no bearing on the quality of a movie: it's a complete crap-shoot. In this model, the sequel has a 10% chance of scoring 90-100%, i.e., of being at least as good as the original. It has an 90% chance of scoring 0-89%, i.e., of not being as good as the original.
