Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RikWriter: Disagree about Tron 2. I don't know if you consider it a sequel, but Captain America: the Winter Soldier is better than the first one. The Empire Strikes Back was a very good movie. Top Gun: Maverick is better than the first one. The Dark Knight was great. Bride of Frankenstein. Blade II Toy Story 2 and 3 Superman 2 The Road Warrior and Mad Max: Fury Road Star Trek II and IV. LotR the Two Towers and Return of the King Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Blade Runner 2049 There are probably others. Great list Rikwriter |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RikWriter: Originally Posted By Alacran: Originally Posted By KampusKop: Terminator. +1 …and Alien. Resident Evil & Underworld are both good to go. You have horrible tastes in movies, unless you're being sarcastic. I'm hoping. Sarcasm towards Resident Evil & Underworld but very serious for Terminator & Alien. I think the main difference in those who do or don’t like Aliens depends on if they view the original Alien as a horror movie or as science fiction. I see Alien as one of the best horror movies ever made. Anything afterwards would be a disappointment. |

I admittedly am not a big sci-fi fan anyway, but do like a select few. I’ve never seen or cared to see any of Star Wars movies after Return of the Jedi, so I’m sure I’m in the minority with that. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By adavis: Almost all of them This. Only ones where sequels are fine are the slapstick comedy movies like Naked Gun, Police Academy, etc. Sequels are 99% of the time a desperate attempt to milk the success of the previous. Recycled bits and storylines get tiresome very quickly. |

Having endured sitting through part of the most recent travesty with a date, I'll throw in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The original was kind of a cult classic, #2 was bad, and #3 was outright terrible, desperately trying to find the same mojo that made the original a hit and failing hard. It was so embarrassingly awful and formulaic that we left 2/3rds of the way through.

It's already been mentioned but Anchorman 2 was bad.
Super Troopers 2 (whatever it was called) was bad. Avatar 2 was bad and pointless. All it did was eat up 3.5 hours and leave all the doors open for a third. |

Still haven't seen 3, which I understand is even worse. Try searching for "The Tolkien Edit" on one of the completely legal file sharing sites. Edited all 3 movies down to 4 hours, cutting out the stuff that's not in the book. Results in a little bit of weirdness, but *much* more watchable for a Tolkien fan. |
