At what point do you consider the producers/directors to be "over doing it" as far as making sequels?
ie-pt.4/5/6etc..

The way Hollywood is today, everyone wants to make their $$$, so they keep draining the plots and writing these completely dumb scripts. Take for example, Friday the 13th. I could see parts 1-4 at the most...then they started this Jason vs. Freddy stuff and Jason in Space, AWFUL!
The worst thing about this is that the movie companies keep siging directors to these 3 or 4 movie deals. Therefore we have to deal with this same crap over and over again. Then half way through the series they change directors and it gets a worse script. It's the same kinda thing in Music...no originality.
Garbage in, Garbage out....
There are a few exceptions to this rule. Example: X-Men. I thought that X-Men 2 was better than 1 and I know a lot of people that feel that way. Part 3 wasn't too bad either. I don't think this series will go that route, as long as they keep the same director.

I have two answers. For most movies, I think 3 is the limit. Once you get past that most movies repeat themselves.
There is a certain type of movie however that works very well with many "sequels." The James Bond, Indiana Jones and even the old Tarzan movies do this very well. For me, I think the type would be defined as an action/adventure where the hero character(s) are the only element that's constant in the story.

It depends on the movie franchise. For franchises like terminator they should have stopped at 2 the same goes for Jaws, and Jurassic park. But for series like Star Wars, Rush Hour, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, and The lord of the rings. There could be a hundred sequels and they would never get old.

There's a diff between sequels and parts of a continuing story. Harry Potter and Star Wars are continuing stories. Batman was a sequel. I've never see a sequel that was any good after the 3rd part.

Looking back Friday the 13th 2 was overdoing it quite a bit. But, I wasn't so discerning then as I am now. Pirates of the Caribbean? They can't make enough as far as I'm concerned.

Depends on the material. If its something I love like Indiana Jones they can make as many as they like. Then there are the other movies the ones where the first one was too much.

Three should be the magic number. Although we are looking forward to the last Harry Potter!
