Bastille Night Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Well, I'm new around these parts so I shall start my first movie thread with a suggestion that Jack made in another thread. So, are there any good sequels out there, or do you just hate the whole concept of taking a great movie and trying to make a few extra bucks? (or even worse, making a sequel out of an already bad movie, a la Scooby Doo). Anyway, here's my two favorite sequels, both of which I may even like better than the originals: The Godfather Part II The Empire Strikes Back ....yeah, I know they're the obvious ones. Any others out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilpeart_gal Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Ya beat me to it on both counts. Two incredible sequels. Oh and Terminator 2. Love it better than the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Aubrey Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 'Army Of Darkness' and 'Spider-Man 2' are the first two that leap to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasartymac Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Ooh. Although not a true sequel, as such, Patriot Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilpeart_gal Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I still like 'Hunt for Red October' the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpeart_gal Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Yeah but you brought up about Patriot Games not truly being a sequel...and the thread is 'which sequels are better than the original'...so if 'Hunt' is the original, my point is that the sequel is NOT better. Aw screw it, I'm too confused now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 QUOTE (Sodoff Baldrick @ Nov 29 2004, 05:55 PM) the two LotR sequels Strictly speaking, The Two Towers and The Return of the King are not really sequels - The lord of the Rings was a single film that was split into three (OK, just being pedantic - I'm in that sort of mood at the moment ) Anyway, along with the ones already mentioned I would have to add: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (better than the Motionless Picture) Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (better than The Search for Spock ) Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (better than The Final Frontier but that's not hard is it?) Star Trek: First Contact (better than Generations - no William Shatner ) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - best of the lot Lethal Weapon 2 Bride of Frankenstein Any Which Way You Can Magnum Force That's all I can think of except to say that I actually think the first Terminator film is better and that the first 2 ALien films are about equal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
