Well, given 2 only went up one point, is it safe to assume you'll be skipping a third film? Nope. I just read that the 2nd and 3rd books were published after the 1st movie was released. That sort of confirms what I said about the story improving as a response to the bad reviews.

I've seen Ouija 2. I didn't bother with the first movie and I am not going to. 🤦♂️ 🤨

It's just that we're talking a lot (and in details) about keep or stop watching a TV/movie series and now you say that you watched a sequel without seeing the original... which is like watching a second episode/season of a show without watching the first episode/season.

You don't need to watch the first Ouija movie to watch the second one.

It wasn't intentional though. I just felt like watching a horror movie and Ouija 2 was available at the time.

You stop watching/reading something because you don't like it and you assume you won't like the rest, right? Well, sometimes a bad movie or book has a good sequel and a bad TV pilot has a good follow up episode. A film is a whole thing. What the film has to offer is over the period of that one film. It's not the same as watching the first episode of a TV show and giving up. A series is meant to develop over time. All the development has happened in the space of one film that is not meant to be a continuous story when you see it. As for a book...if a book is so bad to a point I wouldn't finish it (it has never happened to me) and I certainly wouldn't check out any further books if it's a series. That is a bigger waste of time than finishing a bad movie....you invest more than 90 or so minutes on a book. Bothering with a sequel to a film rated that low, I'm not sure I'd bother. There are films I consider poor where I watched a sequel that was superior, but that was based on word of mouth or reviews, but never for anything as low as 0/10. I just find it odd that if you saw a film that was 0/10 you'd rush to see the sequel pretty much on or just after the day of it's release.

Prequels are structured as "The backstory you didn't know about" or "New supplementary details" instead of "The start of the story." It wasn't intentional though. I just felt like watching a horror movie and Ouija 2 was available at the time. This is the complex explanation that I should've asked about instead of using an emoji? 😏 I just find it odd that if you saw a film that was 0/10 you'd rush to see the sequel pretty much on or just after the day of it's release. Oh, that's just because I didn't have anything else on my queue. I've managed to keep up with a lot of the new Netflix originals. I think we all have extra time on our hands these days.

Are you honestly surprised that people are confused as to why some people would watch the sequel to a movie they rate 0/10? That is the only thing I was trying to answer for you. Most people avoid watching movies they think will be bad and if they watched Kissing Booth without knowing knowing it got bad ratings, they certainly wouldn't waste their time watching the sequel if they think the first movie is awful.
