Most delayed sequels ever (101 movies items)

"From.... (Terminator 2: Judgment Day 1991) To... (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines 2003) Gap between movies : 12 years Was it worth the wait ? : Not really... I mean it is not an awful movie but it is pretty average compared to the 1st two movies and it doesn't add anything interesting to the story. Note : It then took 6 more years to deliver the next installment 'Terminator Salvation' (2009) and again 6 more years for 'Terminator Genisys' (2015)..."

"12.8. It's been 15 years since I first saw this mess and it still sucks the big one. It's like a Mount Everest of bad choices from the very beginning: the humor sucks, the characters suck, the ending sucks, the special effects suck, the female John Connor sucks, the villain sucks, but the action is kinda cool."

“The first Terminator is among the best of its genre, and Terminator 2 is bigger, richer and every bit as fantastic a film, one of the few sequels to be as great as its predecessor (Aliens, Godfather Part 2 and the Toy Story sequels are also noteworthy in this regard).

"19.9. 2020 Once again a cyborg arrives from the future to protect John Connor while another even more technologically advanced female cyborg tries to kill him. "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" provides some decent new laughs but the plot structure is mostly the same as in the two previous Terminator films. At least the ending is pleasantly surprising."
