Sequel Better Than Original

[Indrid Cold]

This is obviously subjective...but I got to thinking about this in the "G" best movie voting.
IMHO...

Godfather II > Godfather
Terminator II > Terminator
Empire Strikes Back > Star Wars
Road Warrior > Mad Max (but not by much)
Two Towers > Fellowship > Return of the King (stupid ghost army)

Others?
What say you?

Ace Ventura

 

[calsnowskier]

Dark Knight > Batman Begins

 

[ckhokie]

Bad Boys II > Bad Boys

 

[ckhokie]

Blade II > Blade
D2 Mighty Ducks > Mighty Ducks
Iron Man 2 > Iron Man

 

[calsnowskier]

Iron Man 2 > Iron Man

 

[outofyourmind]

Battle for the Planet of the Apes > Conquest of the Planet of the Apes

 

[outofyourmind]

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan > Star Trek: The Motion Picture

 

[calsnowskier]

Battle for the Planet of the Apes > Conquest of the Planet of the Apes

By that logic...

Revenge of the Sith > Clone Wars

But I am not sure many people consider Sith a sequel of Clone Wars. It is a sequel of either A New Hope or Phantom Menace...

No, the Ape movies had a distinct chronological order to them.

The time frame of those movies were very circular. The argument could be made that there was not a first film, so none of them were actual sequels.

The SW movies have a very defined chronological order. Just because they made 4, 5 and 6 first does not change that fact.

I wish I could apply multiple ratings to a single post...

Captain America 2 >>>>>Captain America 1

That's kind of like saying the shit you took today was better than the shit you took yesterday.
