Crappy movies with good sequels

[Dreddz]

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 didnt like Escape from New York (the music was really annoying) But i really liked Escape from L.A despite it's bad reveiws.

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.

I didn't like Burton's first Batman but I loved Batman Returns

Can't say I disliked Burtons original Batman but Returns is in my opinion the better film. Really enjoyed Devito as the Penguin. Such an underrated movie.
