Sequel Names.
<div class="IPBDescription">...</div> Is it just me or is nobody spending any time thinking up names for sequels (games or films) making them sound either tacky or cheap. It seems to me that they're just thinking up a first one, saying fine to it and hitting the pub a few hours early.
This was mainly inspired by "Matrix Reloaded" and "Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater"

Matrix reloaded is a great name.
Snake eater... Well, thats not such a great name.
I, personally, think it's absolutely pathetic. Matrix is supposed to be a very stylish kind of product. Very clean cut. Very professional. And the name "Reloaded" as far as i can see (not seen the film, as far as i know it's not released in england yet) bears no indication on the plot or contents therein. To me, they may as well have called it "Matrix: Fishbag" as far as i can, it sounds just as much as right as "Reloaded" and says about as much about the film as "Reloaded" does too.
Also, reloaded suggests that they have been reloaded into the matrix to fight off the agents.. :/
God, that's not Fast & The Furious sequel is it? That film was crap enough as it is.
And i'm sick of that too. The implementation of "text slang" (using "u" instead of "you" and so on) into commercial products such as this (also Cradle 2 Tha Grave as well). And adults wonder why they can't understand what kids are talking about these days.
<b>EDIT:</b> YAY! 200 POSTS!
Reloaded is good although Matrix: Revoutions doesnt seem to suggest much... unless the entire film is set on a merry go round (round-about in english)

I suppose the film directors are aiming the films at teenagers then, as they use the most slang.

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
The Matrix: Reloaded
Alien3
American History X
The Core
Jeepers Creepers
That's my list I can think of now.
anybody else think this was cheezy?
Reloaded was a good name for a sequal.
Snake eater, yeah it sounds cheezy "2" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
(as in HL and HL2)
nah, im just joking...
"*** 2" is the only real name for a sequel
The Empire Strikes Back was also a great sequel name. :)
Stupid names though.. ugh.. X2 was the dumbest, at least till I saw the Fast & The Furious sequel. Oh well, look on the bright side: Now all the morons will try to drive their suped up Hondas (complete with Type-R sticker for extra speed) off a bridge...
Also, as far as Snake Eater goes, supposedly its Military jargon...

So even though it sounds corny, it fits.
Matrix Revolutions - Because the One has revolted against the traditional, thus it is a REVOLUTION! fools.

xXx - Anything but the name of the "Hero"
The Matrix: Reloaded - The Matrix2, why's it have to have a Sub Title?
Alien3 - Dunno, but I liked how they pulled Aliens off for number 2.
American History X - Sounds like a MegaMan game.
The Core - A bad movie, yeah, that's a good title for it.
