Sindragosa vs. the Hiatus

After an usual turn of events, I've wound up with an adorable dachshund puppy by the name of Moxie. She's very demanding of my time and energy, so I've been unable to review any Sequels, and am unsure of when I'll be able to return to reviewing at this time.

We'll see how things look in a month or two when she's not so dependent on me for her undivided attention.

Until them, let's hope for some better sequels in the future. I won't hold my breath.

Shrek 2

It was only a matter of time before we got to this, ladies and gentlemen. You can't really review sequels and not have Shrek's name pop up once or twice. Or three times. Or four times. With a Puss in Boots spin-off. *sigh* I foresee a lot of the green guy gracing this blog in the future.

It's time once again to count how many ass jokes they can put in a kid's movie as we review Shrek 2.

Mulan II

Let me tell you something I hate about fanfiction and continuations- the trope known as Pair the Spares. Basically, EVERYONE in canon needs to be paired up, no ands, ifs, or buts. This irritates me for two reasons- 1. It implies that no one can be happy single and 2. It's the reason we have suck squicky parings in the Final Fantasy fandom (I'm looking at YOU, YuffieVincent and RikkuAuron.).

What does this have to do with today's sequel? Don the clothes of your opposite gender and find out with me as we review Mulan II.

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West

As many of my generation, I share a certain fondness when I think of the name Don Bluth and the movies he directed in the '80s. The sequels based on his works, however, shattered all of the magic and wonder from his worlds into the smallest of pieces. Herein lies the question- could a sequel to a Don Bluth movie ever be considered good?

The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps

As much as I was dreading my Clone Wars review (look back an entry as to why I'm not reviewing that today), I was dreading this movie even more. Despite the seven years apart, I fully blame this film for the concept and creation of Norbit, one of the worst attempts at comedy I have ever seen.

Let's settle down at the table and pass around an extra helping of Eddie Murphy with the Nutty Professor II: The Klumps.

Atlantis: Milo's Return

Hello everyone and welcome to my very first review on Sindragosa vs. the Sequels, Prequels, and Spin-Offs! What other way is there to kick off the start of this blog than with the first sequel that made me realize the reduced quality in extended canon media?

First Post and FAQ

Greetings everyone and welcome to my blog- Sindragosa vs. the Sequels, Prequels, and Spin-Offs! After thinking about this for a couple of months, I decided I wanted to start a blog reviewing something I thought I had an interesting take on.

The subject matter came easily- the reviewing of sequels. Sequels were popping up everywhere in my childhood and are certainly no stranger to my adult life. Even movies that haven't finished their run in the cinemas are having press releases for planned sequels, an example being How to Train Your Dragon that came out in March and had a sequel announced in April of the same year.

But where to host my reviews? My friend Kelsa pointed me in the direction of this site, and here I am. I hope to tweak my layout to something less generic, but until I get the hang of Blogspot, generic it is.

Now, before we dive into the reviews, I'd like to make a few announcements concerning what I plan to do with this blog, how I'll rate the sequels I review, and what I will/won't review.
