alright all you lovers of cinema out there i want to know if there are any movie series which you feel the sequel is superior to the original. granted this is pure opinionated conversation so there isn't any wrong answer but in the same sense not everyone may agree. i feel like there are so few movies that had better sequels, normally the sequels are total duds, so i think this could be fun to try and name some of our own and then nit pick through them all collectively. i'd like to have everyone who participates collectively agree so we can definitely say "(insert title) was better than the original."
one of these that comes to my mind is Terminator 2. sure the first is timeless and classic but when they did the second James Cameron went all in with the special effects which is helpful for a Sci-Fi movie based on futuristic cyborgs. i like the thought of bringing the T100 back as the hero and the story for it was simple and it worked. i thought all of the chase scenes were fairly epic and between every climax of action there is some good character story.
anyone have a series or two where they thought the sequel was superior to the original?
