I think there will be, the movie got number one at the box office and didn't drop too deeply after it's second week. In regards to the supposed weak spots of the film, I just wanted to say I agree on somewhat half of what you said. For one thing, I actually REALLY enjoyed the use of the human characters here.
The designs didn't bother me at all and I love how Casey and April got so much more involved in this movie then in the past films, their love story was especially interesting and I thought it was such a shame they had to cut so much of it out of the story to keep the movie at a proper running time.
The narrative only showed up at the beginning and end of the movie so that really didn't phase me in the least bit. And finally, I half agree on the villains. I didn't find them weak I just felt they added too many to keep focus on. You had Max Winters, 13 monsters, Karai and the Foot, and the Stone Generals.
That's ALOT to keep track of, had they simply made the movie longer or cut down on the amount of monsters or generals or villains, it would have given the film more ample time to fully develop the characters and give us a chance to see everyone more in depth. I especially was upset over the 13 beasts.
Only 3 got a good chunk of air time, the rest had few second capture scenes and then the rest became the stone generals, and even then only the leader did most of the action and talking. So aside from the too many villains aspect, I loved this movie and I think it's got what it takes to make a fine sequel.
I read around the web the creator of the movie would like to bring in the Rat King, the Shredder, and (more wishful thinking then fact) the Triceratons.
