Name a sequel that was better than the original

[CreekDog]

(think out of the box too)

here's mine:



Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (the second one) :rofl:

1. Evil Dead II was better than Evil Dead

And Army of Darkness was better than Evil Dead II !!

[Breeze54]

2. It's never happened.

Despite what they try to convince you of... it's never happened.

3. The Lord of the Rings...

Remember, that book was a long-in-development sequel to The Hobbit. It only became a trilogy because WWII rationing of paper prevented the publisher from printing a 1,000-plus page novel, so they had to break it into three books to be released at staggered intervals. But the whole work was a sequel to The Hobbit.

6. True, but if you read both you will notice a marked difference in style.

The Hobbit was clearly aimed at kids, evidenced by the chatty first-person narration Tolkein wrote. The Lord Of The Rings is different; the first-person narration is absent and I think the books are much more appropriate for adults and teens.

4. I actually like "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" better than "Elizabeth."

So sue me.

5. BLASPHEMY!

[Orrex]

7. I would say that T2 is better than The Terminator

One test is to see how well the films have aged: Terminator is much more dated than T2, even though the films were just seven years apart.

It could also be argued that The Dark Knight is better than Batman Begins, and both of them are certainly far better than any of the Keaton/Kilmer/Clooney films.

8. Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan

Definitely better than ST: The Motion Picture.

[DerekG]

22. Star Trek: The Motionless Picture

How long was that thing? 10 hours?

[lost-in-nj]

9. I think

Ernest saves Christmas was better than
Ernest Goes to Camp

:*


:hi:


lost

[Lincolngirl]

10. Godfather 2,

gives Godfather a run for its money. As good anyway.

[Stump]

17. Close call there...

But Godfather 3 blowed I'm sure you'll agree.

[RagAss]

11. The Road Warrior

[Danger Mouse]

12. Some would argue that "Aliens" is better than "Alien"

:shrug:
Also, 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' was better than the first two movies in the trilogy.
And of course, there was 'The Empire Strikes Back'

[mitchum]

13. The Bride of Frankenstein

[CreekDog]

14. I'll name more: Superman 2, Empire Strikes Back, Mad Max 2 (Road Warrior)

I'll second the Evil Dead mention.

I'll second T2, it's not only a great movie, but better than the original. Hey, production value does count for something!

[TZ]

15. I liked Toy Story 2 better than the first one...

I like Pixar movies..:)

[Stuart G]

16. From Russia with Love...much better than Dr. No..

while they are not exactly sequels, I doubt there would have been "Goldfinger" if From Russia with Love was a financial and artistic flop....

..Some say From Russia is actually the best Bond.......

[Indi Guy]

18. I think the New Testament beats the Old one....

"Love thy neighbor as thyself" sure beats "Thou shalt not kill."???

[Iggo]

19. The Chronicles Of Riddick.

"You keep what you kill."

:rofl:

[PeaceNikki]

20. Empire Strikes Back

For sure.

[Swede]

21. Terminator II was better than Terminator.

IMHO.
