Know any?
I didnt like Escape from New York (the music was really annoying) But i really liked Escape from L.A despite it's bad reveiws.
Also I didnt think much of the first X-Men film but i really liked the second one. (Nightcrawler yay!)
Go (dont have to limit it to movies)
The first terminator was good but the second one was way better.
also i liked the second Ace ventura movie a lot better.
Also did you know that the snake from MGS was modled after the one from escape from la, ny
boogeyman sux, but boogeyman 2 was awsome.
I havent seen the 2nd one but i thought they faild on the first one that could be the scariest movie ever just cause were all natrually afraid of the boogy manQuote:

You're entitled to think the sequel was better (I'd disagree, but it's a very good film) but if any of you think that The Terminator was a 'crappy movie' you're out of your minds.
I can't think of any poor films that had great sequels, though a few sequels surpass the original in my opinion (Toy Story 2 specifically) - but these were sequels to what were great films to start with
<_<
>_>
...Blade 2 was better then the first
:shifty:
*cracks knuckles* Advent Children was better than Final Fantasy VII.
No, no, I'm kidding.
I can't think of any, but I don't watch a lot of movies, so...
I didn't like Burton's first Batman but I loved Batman Returns :jess: Where's John_912 when I need him?
Its difficult to name good sequels that follow a crappy original. I can think of sequels better than the original film but in most cases I like the original movie as well. So Ill go with the sequels I simply prefer. I guess Dawn of the Dead is far superior to Night of the Living Dead which I think is so-so. Can't forget the Road Warrior either. Oh oh and Aliens too. Ok Ill stop now.
I'm gobsmacked that you prefer Escape from LA to Escape from New York. It pretty much copied New York in every way but managed to make it feel nothing like the original.Quote:

The Terminator franchise is pretty lame as a whole, to be honest.Quote:

I think the original Burton Batman is much better than Batman Returns.
Empire Strikes Back is better than A New Hope. It is common for the first movie in a trilogy to be weaker than the second movie, because the first movie has to lay out too much background.
stop picking on terminator
I agree.Quote:

Its probably the fact that they dont feel anything like each other that I prefer Escape from LA. I couldnt get imersed into it for escape from NY and only saw it because i wanted to see Escape from LA again. I think it just didnt have the right mood for me. However Despite the number of ridiculus action scenes and similarities in LA i found it more exciting. I was actually surprised when the possible love interest was suddenly killed (i thought it might happen towards the end) unlike in NY when the resturaunt slut was just standing there and i got the feeling she wasnt going to last long.Quote:

Now that's a lie. The original Blade was good, and III was okay, a little cheesy. I didn't like The original 80's Batman movie really probably because I saw Batman Returns and Begins before it. Batman Returns is still a fantastical movie though.Quote:

Uh I don't think the Hulk movies are related haha...
I loved The Dark Knight, but I didn't like the Batman movie that came before that one :(

what about the matrix series?Quote:

Common. Not a rule ;)
One does not choose a favorite when it comes to Blade, one embraces all as a single loved Entity~~Quote:

The third Blade film is dreadful, it's basically an Apple products advert at times! XD
The Rescuers Down Under. The end.
buffy series > buffy movie
evil dead 2 > evil dead
also new rambo is better than old school ones.
I enjoyed it though. XD I can admit it was crappy though. :pQuote:

But I actually prefer the TV show. No Arnold! Yay! Hotter John Connor. Yay!
As for other sequels that are better than their originals . . . Revenge of Madame Doubtfire. It was so hilarious seeing Robin Williams as an old English lady in the Iraq War. Priceless.
Although I don't think the first Rescuers film is crappy (Madame Medusa is freaking awesome!), I have to agree with you that TRDU is a good sequel which I actually prever over the first Rescuers film. :)Quote:

Harry Potter 3 was WAY better than 1 & 2.
Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 were better than 1.
And Star Wars 4 was better than 1,2, and 3.
No, no, just....no. Pirates of the Caribbean is up there with The Matrix when it comes to sequels dropping the ball big time.Quote:

I also agree with the Escape From franchise.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, The Secret of the Ooze wins, even if everything made after that was garbage. The first film was kind of boring and seemed low quality (Everything was dark and hard to see)
Oh yeah, how would we class Star Wars as a whole, The sequels are way better than the prequels (Some would say they were crappy) but the sequels were the originals...?
Oh, I liked Kill Bill Vol. 2 Better than Vol. 1, but 1 by no means was crappy.
