Sequels Suck

I thought Cars 2 wasn't great, but by far, Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil is a far worse sequel than Cars 2 ever was. The original Hoodwinked! was enjoyable and fun, but the second isn't. To sum it quickly, the fun of the original was having the characters not appear who they really look like. It used a rather novel way of telling the same story four times, each from the view of a different character, and if you rewatched it, you could catch details that make it more obvious as to what's going on. But HT!, in development for years, doesn't really have that same punch. Rather, a crummy plot with incredibly bad pacing replaces it. The voices for Red and Kirk are different, and some running jokes that aren't funny reminded me of what happened to Homestar Runner before they stopped updating, they just couldn't leave some one-shot jokes alone (Peacey P being a notable example), and the result was detrimental. While there were a few funny jokes in there, and it's not as bad, as say, I don't know, Bee Movie, but HT! sucked and a sorry way to effectively kill the franchise.
