Pitch Perfect 2 received a 66% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a full 14% decrease from the previous movie. The movie was poorly written in comparison to the original and was rushed. The quality decrease from the original to the sequel shows the need for limitation. People spent their hard earned money to go see this film with the impression that they’d enjoy it since they enjoyed the first one and were severely let down.

With Pitch Perfect 3 coming out soon, one has to wonder if this sequel will follow in the footsteps of the second movie or if they’ll step up their game in hopes of turning around the franchise.

Another problem with sequels is they can be unoriginal and repetitive. This seems especially true in action and adventure series that tend to follow a very specific formula for their plots, however this trend can be viewed in numerous genres. One example being

Studios know that if a movie does well the first time, it is likely to do well the second time and even the third time. King Kong is no exception. Producers can presume that the glory of the original will pass on to the remake since audiences hope for that feeling again. Whether the movie is better or not doesn’t matter. Audiences will go to see King Kong over the years because the remakes are associated with the original.

Disney’s tentpole strategy has been fairly successful throughout the Disney Studios lifetime. Even though this strategy worked in the past it may not be the best strategy moving forward, as there are advantages and disadvantages to this strategy. One advantage of this strategy is that the tentpole films attract movie going customers that think of the movies more as an event rather than just a film they want to see.“A $200 million movie is more likely than a $20 million movie to have elements that appeal to moviegoers--to have special value for them.”, said Horn. Just as with any bet, there could also be a risk and disadvantage. If the film fails, they would both have to take the fall instead of just Disney Studios. “When our
The five limits of government in a democratic society are consent of the governed, rights of the minority, separation of power, constitution and rule of law. Although all five play an important role in today's society, some would be considered more needed than others. The most important limit is constitution. The constitution states every law and procedure that is needed to run the country more smoothly. The second most important out of the five would be rule of law. The rule of law means no man is above the law and laws are fair. The third and fourth most important limit are the rights of the minority and the consent of the governed. Minority rights means the law applies to everyone and consent of the governed allows all citizens to choose for themselves who they want to run the country . Lastly, the least important but much needed limit of government is separation of powers and that is used to make sure not one person has total control.
