Title: Sequels you liked more than the original?
Post by: tempestwheel on July 13, 2009, 03:10:42 PM: I'll admit, I'm a person who doesn't mind sequels and often enjoys them. See the topic title for the question.

Some sequels I like more than their originals:

1. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
2. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
3. The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (Yes, I prefer it a tad slightly over the original.)
4. Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (Ironically, most other Friday the 13th fans regard this one as one of the worst, but for some reason I love it.)
5. National Treasure: Book of Secrets
6. Spider-Man 2
7. Scream 2
8. Shock Treatment

Post by: WeirdRaptor on November 09, 2009, 09:15:25 PM: I rarely enjoy sequels more than the originals, but there are a few.

1. Lethal Weapon 2
2. All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 (mostly because Charlie Sheen does a better job as the leading character than whoever the original voice was. He left no impression on me whatsoever.)
3. Jurassic Park 3, because it was more like the original books than either of the previous two films.
4. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Connery. Sean Connery)
5. Austin Powers 2

Scream 2 is better than Scream 1...
Guinea Pig: Mermaid in the Manhole is better than Guinea Pig 1...

Post by: KingdomKey23 on November 10, 2009, 04:31:42 PM: It is hard for a sequel to outmatch the original. There are rare cases, imo.

The Dark Knight (I'm surprised no one has said this one yet. XD Way better than Batman Begins)

The Rescuers Down Under (The original was kinda boring)

Shrek 2 (Really outdid itself)

Uh, not much else I can think of. Man, I gotta watch more movies.

Post by: LBTFan13 on November 10, 2009, 08:11:06 PM: In my opinion, none of the LBT sequels will ever outmatch the original. It had so much passion into it that seems to be kind of lacking in the sequels.

Any case here are my pics:

Terminator II - Such a twist to have the terminator as the hero and it worked beautifully!

Dark Knight - Batman Begins kind of dragged in the beginning, Dark Knight was perfect!

Saw II, III, VI - Saw IV and V were good don't get me wrong, but they weren't better than the original.

Transformers II - I might be the only person who liked this movie at all. I was so surprised the critics gave it bad reviews.

Lord of the Rings Two Towers - probably my favorite out of the entire trilogy.

Those are the only ones I can think of at the moment.

Well technically Batman begins would be a sequel. When I think of the original Batman I think of the one that came out first. The one with Jack Nicholson as the Joker. I would go far as saying the Dark Knight is hands down the best Batman sequel and I think I liked it more then the first Batman too.

The Rescuers Down Under.

Child's Play 2

Final Destination 2

Toy Story 2

American Tail: Fievel Goes West.

That's all I can think of.

And Raptor I believe the person who played Charlie in the Original ADGTH was Burt Reynolds. Every time I see that movie I can't stop thinking about that poor little girl who played Ann Marie. She was the girl who played Ducky in the first movie who got killed by her father. :( :(

I'm really hoping to add Alvin and the Chunks: The Squeaquel to this list.

Post by: Adder on September 13, 2010, 07:28:12 PM: The Descent Part 2 (2009) (not sure why :lol )

Anaconda 3: Offspring (2008) and Anacondas: Trail of Blood (2009) (More action than 1 and 2)

The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through the Mists (1996) (Ali)

Bats: Human Harvest (2007) (better than the first in every way, less gore, less language, and more guns!)

Animals of Farthing Wood Season 2 (1994) and Season 3 (1995) (Season 3 would've been 50 times better if Sinuous lived like in Ptyra's fanfiction)

Dinocroc vs. Supergator (2010) (sure I like Dinocroc better, but the crossover is better than Supergator)

Python 2 (2002) (more action, less uhh.. never mind, less gore, could've dropped the 50 f-words to about 2 to 4 like the first though)

Ice Spiders (2006) (less graphic violence and language than Spiders and Spiders 2: Breeding Ground, I hate the sounds of when the spider comes out of that guy's mouth in the first, and the scene freaks me out!)

Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1994) (less ***da**s that the first, but more Je*** than the first, and more action too, plus its the only movie with the Shriekers)

Tremors 3: Back to Perfection (2001) (less ever kind of language than the first)

Tremors: The Series (2003) (only religious profanities in these are whispers or in spanish, and just four episodes)

... :oops Can't think of Anymore...
