Films Where the sequels were better than the originals

[Simster]

Arguably, both Toy Story and The Godfather.

However, both of those films are excellent themselves so I'm not expecting unanimous agreement on either.

i PERSONALLY wouldn't class any film that is part of a trilogy a sequel

BUT THAT'S JUST ME AND MY PEDANTRY

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Hellboy II ?

 

[Seagullible]

Die Hard II, Beverly Hills Cop II, Lethal Weapon II
All good sequals, just thought I'd mention them

why not?

 

[Mellotron]

Battle Royale 2, possibly? Both are good.

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey - way more messed up than the original, and more fun.

Kill Bill 2.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Aliens
Batman Begins and Batman Forever
Terminator 2
Ice Age 2
Transformers 2
Evil Dead 2

I'd say that it depends on whether it set out to be a trilogy or whether it just happened that three films were made, and I don't think there are many trilogies like that about. In fact the only one I can think of is Lord Of The Rings. I suppose Star Wars, since it pretty much tells one story even though Lucas blatantly made it up as he went along.
How much of a 'trilogy' are The Godfather films, really? Or Die Hard?

The new star trek

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I have never seen or have any intention of seeing Star Wars. Is there something wrong with me for having absolutely no interest in this genre of movie, despite the fact that just about very TD and H on the planet has seen at least one of them

Bit like me and the Godfather trilogy - I watched about twenty minutes of the first one and was so bored I switched it off and have never been back.

Just about the same for me, also had to leave the cinema after about 15 minutes during the sequel to The Matrix, what a load of poop

"For a Few Dollars More"

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Babe 2 - Pig in the City - A Work of genius. Rich, sumptuous and HUGELY underrated. 8.1

 

[Finch]

Blade II
The Bourne Supremacy
The Mummy Returns
The Two Towers
The Empire Strikes Back
Desperado
Terminator 2

Pretty much every comic book movie where they spent half the first movie explaining their franchise.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Home Alone 2

 

[RexCathedra]

No one's mentioned Micky Adams II

 

[Questions]

Anal Intruders 2 was a far superior film to that of the original.

 

[Mellotron]

Blade II
The Bourne Supremacy
The Mummy Returns
The Two Towers
The Empire Strikes Back
Desperado
Terminator 2

Pretty much every comic book movie where they spent half the first movie explaining their franchise.

Fine with all except The Two Towers. WELL rubbish compared to the Fellowship, which is proper wicked like.

Emanuelle II ?

Rocky 4 (vs. the russian geeza)

Home Alone 2 - New York. you can see the gags coming, but still hilarious.
