Sequels better than original.

From my past experiences with films that have sequels the sequel is most of the time worse than the first one. Examples.

LOTR

Jurassic park

Harry Potter ....lol

Saw

X men

Matrix

etc

One film were i think the sequel is better than the original is Home alone new york.

what do you think?

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

Aliens (arguably)

I think I like 28 Weeks Later more than 28 Days Later.Thechaninator

:o Wow, i thought 28 days later was immense and that 28 weeks sucked :P

Empire Strikes Back > Star Wars and Spider-Man 2 > Spider-Manxaos

Eww no and eww no. :)

Anyway, The Bourne Ultimatum > both Identity and Supremacy. :)

Am I the only one here that hated Return of the King? The majority of the movie was just a huge battle.. I am sorry but after I see the 100,001th guy die I really could care less how much bigger the battle gets..I liked the first Fellowship much better..

I didnt really like Return of the King either.

Empire Strikes Back > Star Wars xaos

This is correct.

Die Hard and The Evil Dead come to mind. I guess Oldboy counts, too. Cerussite

Oldboy isn't a sequel to any film.

Oldboy is the second in Park Chan-Wook's 'Vengeance Trilogy' - Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. However, these movies are connected only by the director, and their overall theme of revenge, and have no actual canonical story connections. Considering that what often makes sequels shoddy is that the original movie was basically complete, and the sequel was made only to cash in on a popular title (also, I think, the reason why many of the superior sequels are from movies series' based on comics which were made with an overarching story in mind), I don't think Oldboy belongs here. It's not a sequel.

My choices? X-Men 2, Spider-Man 2 maybe LotR (I tend to think of those movies as a cohesive whole rather than a trilogy), Terminator 2, and so on. If we're adding sequels that are equal to the original, add in Godfather 2, and maybe Spider-Man 3.

Which die hard sequel do you mean? Cause Die Hard 1 is the best by far. If you mean live free or die hard then I will disagree heavily.

Empire Strikes Back > Star Warsxaos

This is the correct answer.

My two favourites are

Shrek 2 and LOTR the third one.

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

Yeah, if you're a big jerk.

The Bourne Ultimatum and Austin Powers.

I liked Fellowship more as well, but only by a bit.

This is the correct answer.

Yeah, if you're absolutely correct.

Personally, Two Towers was better

i thought 28 days later was the worst movie i had ever seen, and i still think that.

I can't think of any sequels better than the first one......

Blech, A New Hope was a full movie. The Empire Strikes Back was just the middle of a real movie. Are you saying part of a movie is better than a whole movie? You're crazy, you... crazy person. Psshh...

T2. EDIT: Spiderman 2 as well.krazykillaz

Terminator 2, yes. Spiderman 2, hell no
