What is the best sequel? I can think of three movies where I personally think the sequel is arguably stronger than the original

Terminator - Terminator 2
Godfather - Godfather 2
Alien - Aliens

(Though i say personally because two of those tonally change a lot so its hard to compare)

Edit: Room 237 was interesting but used its best crazy too early

Blade Runner and 2049 maybe

I watched Point Blank a few months ago when I couldn't sleep one night and, while I wasn't sick, it felt like a fever dream.

Love Lee Marvin though.

I first saw it in 2010 when I was stuck inside during the middle of a very rainy day in NYC, and you're absolutely right about it feeling very dreamlike.

If we're setting the bar with 'better than the original'

Guyver 2:Dark Hero was pretty good, because I couldn't get through 5 minutes of the first Guyver film.
X-Men 2 was better than X-Men 1
DOFP was better than First Class (treating this era as a semi-reboot of the original trilogy)
Spider-Man 2 better than Spider-man 1

Superhero films doing 'better'/'as good' with their first sequel seems to a better than 50% average. Though, it's a massive drop in quality when they ARE worse than the first film.

There are cuts in it that would make you think it's fake but it is not.

Lightweight. Jackie Chan broke his foot during the filming of Rumble in the Bronx, so they just put a fake shoe over his cast and kept shooting.

Good point. Fury road is at least as good as the original.


I personally enjoyed godfather 2 a lot but one is narratively a lot tighter. I enjoyed the straddling of timeframes and the arc with Fredo but it has been a loooong time since I've seen it.

I forgot about Empire but honestly Star Wars was never something i was heavy into.

This is a good one too but it still hits that Alien/Aliens thing where the first movie and the second are so tonally different it sometimes feels unfair to compare.

This Monique worship is making me slightly glad that IMDB got rid of their message boards, which apparently had developed a bit of a stalker vibe to them during its active years.

Eh… I will accept people who argue MM is better than Thunderdome. My argument is basically the highest highs of Thunderdome are better than anything in MM, and excuses the lows of Thunderdome, but I could see people who argue nothing in MM is anywhere near as bad as the worst parts of Thunderdome.

But Road Warrior is an all time top 10 movie. Fury Road is great, but Road Warrior is the best.

Blade Runner 2049 is nowhere near as good as the Director’s Cut or Final Cut of Blade Runner.

The movie dies when K finds Harrison Ford.

I don't get your point, people talking about Monique here makes you glad imdb shut down their forums like 5 years ago? What the gently caress are you blathering about.
