What I hear about LBT 11 really puts me into a gloomy and malancholic mood.  :cry2
In my opinion LBT has been growing worse ever since LBT 7. There was nothing I considered really "horrible" until LBT 10 and LBT 9 was even an exceptionally good sequel which nourished my hopes that there were more good sequels yet to come.
However, the way things are turning I do not suppose that there will be a good sequel again, perhaps the 12th movie is going to be the final one.  :cry  
It is difficult for me to say whether or not I would have had LBT end with an earlier sequel so it would have been a good ending, a dignified ending. I shall watch LBT 11 and I shall watch LBT 12, but I do not know if I shall be glad to have done so, or if I will get just depressed.
I don't understand why LBT is turning that way. With just a bit of the enthusiasm and the phantasy demonstrated by the fans of LBT on many occassions, I'm sure that it would be possible to create half a dozen more sequels. Good sequels! Sequels that are more than mere repetitions and sequels that take place in a land before time as we got to know it from the original movie and the first sequels.
As those who are in charge of the plots and other elements of the movies that have decreased in the last sequels don't seem to have this enthusiasm and phantasy I'm afraid that these good sequels shall exist, but only in our minds and hards, and in some cases perhaps written down on paper.
Goodbye land before time  :(

I was thinking that #12 could possibly be the final flick we see but it's all down to the individual to say which sequels they prefer. I've always LIKED the latter part of the saga; prefering the sequels as they went along. To me, even though there may not be anymore LBT films, that doesnt seem to be end for me. Somehow, just because the series will eventually have to cease, I don't see that as an end. Probably sounds illogical and a bit off-the-wall but that's the way I see it. LBT's not gone! It's here baby! And it lives on! Maybe not through newer sequels but the spirit's still there!  ;)  :^.^:

Of all people that would post a message like this, I'm surprised it would be you, Malte. :o

Personally, the sequels have never been that good from my view so I knew it would only be time before their demise reached it's point.  It's still not there so long as LBT 12 is still in the works; the Titanic is inching closer but it hasn't smacked that iceberg, and it will as soon as the last LBT film is made.  Then LBT will truly go by the wayside because the only film anyone will really want to discuss is the first one, but that's been done so many times, it gets dull after a while.

If you've ever wondered why all the LBT message boards barely survive by a string its because of the sequels.  They might have had a better chance if there never were any sequels because people would keep coming back to the theatrical film as nostalgia. ;)

#12 will not be the last. they'll continue to make sequels until even diehard fans can't watch them anymore. Sadly, that point for me is approaching rapidly. If they were to bring back Ali, I'd watch it, but they promised she'd come back 7 sequels ago, and the wait is getting tenous.

Malte279:
You are right, Arvens. It is not like me to start weeping like that and I apologize for my outburst. I have acted against what I always tell others, namely to watch a movie (or whatever else) before judging it. I'm truly sorry for that.
The fact that I did all this shows just how despaired I am about some turns LBT has taken and which it seems to continue in LBT 11 (trusting in your judgement).
LBT movies are valued very differently by the fans, which may disprove my assumption of LBT 12 being the last LBT movie to come.  
So the continuation of the series may not be as endangered as I thought it would. Either way I would rejoice if the producers took a little more care in their plots.
