How come no sequel


I would thikn that this was a box office hit with a solid story and grat action scenes. Allways wondered why no sequel..

Guess.

It's based on a comic, and the story of the comic book ends there. Plus, there is nothing else to tell. A sequel would actually ruin it.

Did you miss the end?

God I hate it when people are sequel hungry. Can't we just leave a good story alone? Or do we have to make 12 movies about it until it gets as utterly ruined as Terminator?

I recall Bruce Campbell saying something like a movie has to make it's budget plus a half to be considered a success. According to IMDB V only took $70m compared to a budget of $54m

Just because a movie is good or successful doesn't mean there needs to be a sequel. Why isn't there a sequel to Titanic (successful) or 5th Element (good - eventually cult classic).

Sometimes a movie says all it needs to say.

As a massive fan of this movie, I feel I could only be disappointed in a sequel.

The only sequel I can think of (I'm sure there are more) where I was alive when it came out in theatre AND I liked it better/as much as the original was Blade II ( *beep* part 3). If a Mc dies, hard to make a sequel. A prequel would be interesting though.

I couldn't agree more.

Agreed.

I also liked Blade II better than Blade.

I would watch a prequel though.

If you've seen it, you'd know why.

Because there have been movies in the past that didn't have a sequel for a while, didn't need one and finally got one.... And for a lot of people they ruined the magic of the original. Let's not add V for Vendetta to this category.
