Okay, I have been debating this in my brain, (Yes, it has taken its toll) but I cannot think of one movie that has a better sequel than its original, other than Terminator II. The Tom clancy movies are not included, because they are all tied into each other, but not TRUE sequels. If anyone can think of any, please respond. I thought that this was a good topic to get some ppl posting on the ComNet, so feel free to type in your responses. I am very interested to hear some.

Lost World was better than Jurrasic Park I, and Jurrasic Park III was better than Lost World.
Bill and Ted's Most Excellent Adventure was better than Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Jub, if you were a true fan of Star Wars, you'd get the names of the movies right, it's Phantom Menace, not Shadow Menace

And JP III was not etter than the Lost World, not by a long shot, and JP 1 was pn abut = ground with Lost World.

Wayne's world 2 sucked, hard, whereas one was much better.
Every even numbered Star Trek movie was good, 'cept I never liked 4, and the odd ones all sucked, so you could look at that a series of sequals. (Theres an even numbered one commin' out in decemeber, I'm one of a handful of people who've already seen the trailer.  )
I always liked Back to the Future 3 more than 1 or 2. -----------------------

Sequels aren't part of series... a sequel is just two movies, that'll keep it cleaner. ESB was part of a trilogy, as was IJatLC. -----------------------

Ahem....ESB ok i concedde that, but the IJatLC is a sequal.
Sequals involve the smae characters, but in a different storyline. I.E. All Star Wrs movies are not sequals. All Indiana Jones are.
And Japh, if u think back to the future 3 was better than 1 or 2, then i can see why you thought Waynes W2sucked ...., b/c that was a great movie.

How can you say that either Jurassic Park follow-up was better than the first? All they had was worse acting and bigger 'saurs.
There are exceptions, but I agree wth Megadeth. I pray they never make a sequel to some movies that have escaped the scourge - E.T., Forrest Gump . . . I mean, come on! Look at all those crappy Disney sequels.  -----------------------

Not really. I think originals are better than sequels usually. Like Starwars. Ep 4 5 6 were great. Ep 1 was a disappointment but Ep 2 was somewhat better to my opinion.
I'll still stick to Originals.
Sister Act 2 has a suckier storyline than Sister Act 1 but the songs (according to my sis) is better. That's for ourselves to judge then. |

ya see, most of the posts on this have been very very shaky, at the least. Sister Acts, who even cares. And otto, if u think that the Lost World is better than the original, I want some of what u are smoking, cause it sure gets the job done. The Star Wars movies should be discluded, for the fact that they are a part of a trilogy, and in all actuality, 6 will be made, so, not sequels. Terminator II is still the only movie that has passed its predecessor. And the bill and ted answer, dude, that is soooo bogus. Actually,I thought both of those movies sucked hardcore. Keep on posting everyone, but I have yet to see any posts to sway myself right now, although some of these responses are interesting.......

Seriouly. MD is right. All your post are weak. Sequals may be good but they are never better than the origianl because the lack originality.
