Best...SEQUEL ever made so far?

[Daggard]

Discounting strict trilogies like Matrix, LOTR & Star Wars of course.

We all know that 95% of sequels tend to suck, but over recent years they seem to have improved in quality and even - SHOCK - surpassed the original (as rare as it usually is).

I've included From Russia With Loved because it was the first sequel to a Bond film (and if you don't like it, you can take it up with my lawyer, B. Lowme. :))

So what's the best sequel ever made?

[Lighthouse]

Godfather 2. As good if not better than the first.

[Daggard]

It was tough, but I went for Khan in the end. The first one suuuuuucked so bad and this came along and brought the adventure, characters and humour back into the mix. Great characters, great story, great performances.

[Poeman]

dude no doubt its godfather part 2, but if u want a movie that was also great asa sequel i would have given it to T2

[ImTheWombat]

Godfather 2 is one of the only ones on there that i would consider a classic sequel

I don't know, i might consider Rocky II a classic sequel. It was pretty damn good, even though i liked the first one better.

Well that changes everything (yes, including The Matrix sequels). But after those three trilogies, I'd have to say my favorite sequel is... man, this is sooo hard!:(

[JcDc]

Gofather II out of that list. Duh.

[Superboy]

I'm torn between GODFATHER II, T2, X2, and ALIENS. If I judge it on best movie, clearly it's GODFATHER, but judging it on improvement from the first one, GODFATHER's in last place...

And why is DIE HARD III on this list, but DIE HARD II isn't?

[venom340]

I geuss I'll go with X2.

[Danger Mouse]

Scooby-Doo 2 is not up there? Somebody is gonna get sooooooooo pissed....

[Danger Mouse]

And where's Gremlins 2?

Whatabout Poltergeist 2?

Ghostbusters 2?

:confused:

Godfather Part 2 is an amazing flick
It goes well beyond the first flick( which rocked as well!)

[Dr. Manhatten]

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly/For a Few Dollars More

[Clerk]

Dawn of the Dead.:o

[Sava]

T2

If we're discounting trilogies... then Dawn of the Dead can't be on their because it was followed by Day of the Dead. And Godfather 2 can't be on their. And Dead by Dawn can't be on their.

agreed all of these movie rocked

[Morg]

Can't just pick one:

T2
Toy Story II
X2
Aliens

[LadyVader]

where the heck is "the empire strikes back"??

[kamillon66]

Matrix reloaded

[mg_productions]

I voted for Rocky only because I've neer seen any godfather film.And I think so far,all the hype I've heard about it since forever,I won't give it a fair chance even if I watched it.

But the Rocky sequel gave you everything you wanted and literally furthered the story without getting redundant.Yes,Apollo and Rocky go at it again for the climax, but it wasn't the same as the first one.

[the_ultimate_evil]

umm try reading the first post, he is not includeing the high class trilogys

[Guyverjay]

Whoops didn't read it properly:(

[C. Lee]

The Wrath of Khan is the best sequel....for the simple fact that it is sauch a good movie, and the movie it sequeled, Star Trek the Motion Picture is so bad.

[reggiebar]

Superman II and Addams Family Values are other sequesl worth noting (not greatest ever but very good sequels)

[Sauron]

The GodFather 2, Toy Story2, Terminator 2.

All of the BatMan movies don't count 'cause they all suck!

T2 has alot going for it 'cause it was wayyyyy better than the first.

[spiderjaybe143]

where is spiderman 2?:D

[That-Guy]

ARMY OF DARKNESS DAMMIT!!!!!!

[YJ1]

I'll clarify by saying X2 is the best sequel SINCE Godfather 2 but can't in good conscious call it better. It's like comparing apples and oranges but Godfather 2 won the Oscar for a reason.

[Doomed_hero]

I would say Empire strikes back, but thats part of a seris.

Godfather 2 was good, but I still think that the God father movies can be highly overrated at times. Ill go with X2 and Young guns 2.

[Kahran Ramsus]

Godfather 2. It and T2 are so far above everything else on the list, that the others shouldn't even really be considered.

[Reidy]

X2.

[Kevin Roegele]

Aliens for me. The most exciting movie of all time.

[Batman15]

batman returns

[Blayton]

Star Trek II

It said no Trilogys but it has Godfather II listed

[Orko Is King]

T2

[Daggard]

Yeah I kinda screwed up the no trilogys rule. Woops.

I guess the real question here then is...

GODFATHER 2 OR EMPIRE STRIKES BACK?

[Doomed_hero]

Empire is better then godfather. More exciting and more ground breaking. Love that film.

[Bud Dwyer]

Road Warrior is a classic. It surpasses Mad Max not by a lot, but by enough. The climax was enough to solidify the fact.

[GL-Corps#28]

I was torn between Die Hard: With a vengeance and X2. But I picked X2 because it has a slightly better re-watchability factor.

[venom340]

Man, I really think you should have put the Matrix and Star Wars sequels up there.

[Isildur´s Heir]

:up:

Great minds think alike.
Aliens is the best sequel ever made, IMO, and one of my favorite movies.
Followed by Terminator 2: Judgement Day


And yeah, i love James Cameron ;)

[smeagol4prez]

I will have to go with Karate Kid part 2. I loved it how they left off exactly were part 1 ended, the entire flick was pretty much a action filled non-stop emotional roller coaster that had an awesome twist at the end. I mean c'mon, who knew that that japanese guy was going to come sliding down on a rope down into the dance festival and challenge Daniel to a fight......

[LexLuthor]

Godfather 2, and Rocky 2 a close second.

[choskins]

Kahn!

[NOFX]

T2!!! I even think T2 is the greatest Sci-fi movie of all time!!!

[venom340]

Same here.

[ramon]

greatest poll ever,

tie between drunken master 2 and evil dead 2, i voted for drunken master II, because he got aint no votes yet

[spiderjaybe143]

Toy Story 2 ofcourse!!

[Daggard]

Toy Story 2 ain't got no votes yet though...

From dictionary.com:

"se·quel ( P ) Pronunciation Key (skwl)
n.
Something that follows; a continuation.
A literary, dramatic, or cinematic work whose narrative continues that of a preexisting work.
A result or consequence. See Synonyms at effect. "

From Russia With Love does continue the storyline from Dr No, because SPECTRE want 007 dead for killing Dr No.

[The Singularity]

The Godfather.... Part III :o

yeah you heard me

[fireman9586]

Empire Strikes Back

[T1000416]

Best sequals without a dout are T2,X2,RoboCop 2 and Aliens.All great sequals.And robo2 is so underrated

[Predaknight]

Shrek2, Aliens

[Bapman]

T2, X2, n LETHAL WEAPON 2
Those movies are just PURE heaven for me... n TOY STORY 2
WHY ???
'Cause all 4 pretty much surpassed their predecessors.

[DorkyFresh]

There are about 3 titles listed that I would consider better than the original. X2, T2, and Drunken Master 2 (US Title: Legend of the Drunken Master). Out of those 3...I enjoy watching T2 the most because it's the most fun. X2 is the best layed out sequel...it's the best movie out of them all. Drunken Master 2 improved the most out of them all. The original Drunken Master was sort of bland and fairly boring...Drunken Master 2 was mind blowing.

[RedStrikeForce]

From the poll: HP: CoS

[Compi716]

I think you may have forgot Shrek 2 on that list. I saw it today. One helluva movie.

[The Dark Defender]

Jeepers Creepers 2

[MarvelMovies]

Aliens.

Don't even have to think about that one..

Such an awesome movie..

T2 would come is 2nd.. but nothing can beat Aliens.

[Cinemaman]

T2 was one of the greatest movies of 90s.

I still love ths movie and I will give it 9.5/10.

Also I can say Aliens (9/10), Godfather II (9.5/10) and Batman Returns (8.5/10) were great movies too.

[Iceman/Psylocke]

Terminator 2 is my fave from that list

Others of note:
Godfather 2
Aliens
X2

[GoldGoblin]

where is spiderman 2?:D

^Exactly.

[Dangerous]

Lots of great sequals there- BoF, T2, and DotD are my faves.
(Not the crap remake of DotD)

[Sava]

Terminator 2 ... this is not only a great sequel, but its a great movie full stop. You dont need to have watched the first to get this, everything in this movie is great , Arnold has never done a better film than this :up:

[XwolverineX]

Terminator 2, I love it, so much.

[MLX]

Terminator 2

[Warhammer]

where the heck is "the empire strikes back"??

The Empire Strikes Back really cant be considered a sequel.
It is a continuation of a story started in the predecessor.

[Warhammer]

Terminator 2.

Hands down.

X2 came close though.

[Warhammer]

Holy crap, I didnt notice how old this thread is.

[xwolverine2]

X2 without a doubt

[The Storm]

Gotta be X2 for me, surpassed the first film and can stand on its own.

[Grimm52]

Where on Earth is The Empire Strikes Back!!!!

[Warhammer]

^Not a sequel.
More of a continuation of a story not finished from Episode IV.

:cool:

[Sam Fisher]

Scooby-Doo 2 is not up there? Somebody is gonna get sooooooooo pissed....WTF?:confused:

[The Chairman]

Aliens.

It's the only sequel I can think of that actually imrpoved upon everything that made the original so great without taking anything away from it. And I will go as far as to say it is also the greatest action film ever made.

[Jolie_Desastre]

aliens blew the original away.

t2 was amazing

[The Dark Defender]

http://www.moviereporter.net/newsimages/newsGross_479.jpg

[tzarinna]

Aliens,T2,X2 and Toy Story 2

[LEX]

X2.

[Furious Styles]

Mad Max II: The Road Warrior

Unbelievable. Greatest Car Chase Scene Ever.

[KingOfDreams]

I chose X2

[Tsunulia]

Awwww................show some love for Mad Max :) So much better than Thunderdome :D hehehehe

So what's the best sequel ever made?

In america, yes, sequel have sux since the damn of time. But when you look elsewhere, it hasn't always been so.

In Japan, 27 great Zatoichi sequels were made. Akira Kurosawa did one heck of a masterpiece when he made a sequel to Yojimbo, and it turned in Sanjuro. The samurai trilogy telling the story of legendary samurai Musashi Miyamoto played by Toshiro Mifune is another great exemple. In Hong kong, there was 50 sequel to the original Won Fei Hung movie. While I haven't seen even ONE of this wong serie, they are well seen by critics.

The one-armed swordsman's trilogy is one hell of a great exemple. The second one is still my favorite shaw brother movie, and it's a sequel, of course. In the 80's, Jackie chan gave us the excellent Police story trilogy, and a sequel to his first drunken master. Stephen Chow's Chinese odyssey part 2 is such a little underrated gem.

In the anime world, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust's pretty great, and Ghost in the shell is a modern beauty.

The muppet movie by Jim Henson are all great.

And then there's the 27 follow up to the original godzilla, and the 10 sequel to the original gamera. There's also the great Daimaijin trilogy. And the once upon a time in China saga, or the mr. vampire 5 movie stories. I could go, of course.

Heck, there's been so many great sequels that it's impossible to chose, imo. Sniff.

But I think i'll go with Dawn of the dead. It still holds a very special place for me as a sequel which truly expended upon it's original source.

[Halcohol]

How come nobody's voting for Star Trek II? It was the greatest Trek film ever made!

[Quentin Beck]

I voted for Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets

[Erzengel]

Empire Strikes Back hands down. No need for further discussion.

Out of the list Godfather 2.

[GothicPowerMix1]

Godfather 2
Die Hard 3
Lethal Weapon 4
Terminator 2

:o

[TheFalcon]

Aliens because it was so different and IMO better than the first movie.

Godfather II, T2 and X2 are all close behind.

[WorthyStevens]

So hard to choose... between X2 and T2... :(

[SpiderHulkThing]

I went with Aliens. I may have picked T2, but I can't think about the terminator now without thinking of that crappy third movie.

[Hunter Rider]

Terminator 2

[Alexia Dark]

Hahaha. I just had a Scream 2 moment :O.

[Octoberist]

^Not a sequel.
More of a continuation of a story not finished from Episode IV.

:cool:
A continuation of a story? Isn't that the defination of a 'sequel'?

Also, not to rib on you :) but how is Harry Potter any different? It's a large story seperated by 7 books/movies.

[Mr. Credible]

i vote for gremlins 2.

oh, wait.

[Warhammer]

A continuation of a story? Isn't that the defination of a 'sequel'?

Also, not to rib on you :) but how is Harry Potter any different? It's a large story seperated by 7 books/movies.

Not necessarily.
The Empire Strikes Back was originally meant to be a continuation.

For instance, Spider-Man.
It didnt need a sequel but it got one anyway.
Spider-Man 2 had a good story, but it wasnt a direct continuation of the first movie's story

[Spidey1111]

T-2 and Spidey 2

[Soap]

I go for T2! :up:

[Carter]

My favorite sequel is Die Hard With A Vengeance
Especially since I met Sammy L and Bruce Willis during the filming

[Prognosticator]

Discounting strict trilogies like Matrix, LOTR & Star Wars of course.

We all know that 95% of sequels tend to suck, but over recent years they seem to have improved in quality and even - SHOCK - surpassed the original (as rare as it usually is).

I've included From Russia With Loved because it was the first sequel to a Bond film (and if you don't like it, you can take it up with my lawyer, B. Lowme. :))

So what's the best sequel ever made?

You HAVE to lump Godfather into the "doesn't count" category w/star wars, matrix, lotr, and so on b/c it's part of the original friggin' book!!!! Plus, it has such iconic status that you have to completely throw it out based on good merit. otherwise, movies like EmpireStrikesBack and Godfather 2 and Two Towers would win hands down every time...

....Terminator 2, that is the freakin' mother of all sequals!!! It stands the test of time and stills rates atop with my all time favorites!!!!

[Milkman95]

Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, T2, Spider-man 2, and X2 were all better than the first films........

[Aiden]

X2 or Bourne Supremacy

[Spoarz™]

My favorite sequel is Die Hard With A Vengeance
Especially since I met Sammy L and Bruce Willis during the filming

^Dude, that's pretty frigging cool.

Personally, after eliminating other awesome sequels such as Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan and Batman Returns, I'm torn between Die Hard With A Vengeance and X2: X-Men United.

...I'll say...

...Die Hard With A Vengeance.

I've watched this film so many times, it's unhealthy.

[Karem-Knight]

Godfather Ii!

[Avalanche]

I went with X2.

The second Harry Potter, was, in my opinion, the worst of the films released so far. Painfully dull.

[Star-Titan]

x-men 2

[Stringer]

lol at X2 getting so many votes. This movie has approached overrated status quicker than Napoleon Dynamite.

[aaron]

i wouldnt vote for it if it was there, but i think spider-man 3 deserves a shout

[Neto Magnus]

X2 fo sho.

hopefully X3

[realestmutant45]

Terminator 2 for sure,that one def. outdid it's predecessor.

[XwolverineX]

So many X-men fanboy's. :o T-2 was the greatest movie ever..

[KALEL114]

:up: T2

[Furious Styles]

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y194/Furious1986/khan.jpg

KHAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Matt]

To vote X2 is just fanboy partisan. Especially with The Godfather PArt II on that list.

[Max J Power]

Out of the five or six I've seen on the list, X2.

[thealiasman2000]

The Godfather part 2 is better than ANY of the ones you've mentioned.

You think popcorn sci-fi crap like X2 and Wrath of Khan will stand the test of time like the Godfather movies did?

The Godfather movies are the truly best movies ever made (Casablanca, my ass).

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Howver much I love Bride of Frankenstein, Aliens rules all kind of sequelitis cures

[Cmill216]

T2, Godfather II, TESB, Spider-Man 2......

Tough choices.

[Bat Attack]

Aliens

"Get away from her you ******!"

[KALEL114]

They mostly come out at night, mostly.

[Bat Attack]

They mostly come out at night, mostly.

Heh, :up: :)

[Mr. Socko]

Empire Strikes Back
Terminator 2
Back To The Future Part II
Godfather II

The best sequels ever created IMO.

[Alpha and Omega]

I would say the 2nd LOTR film, ESB, and then Godfather II. Based on the strength of character and reality, probably the 2nd Godfather film overall.

[XwolverineX]

To vote X2 is just fanboy partisan. Especially with The Godfather PArt II on that list.


Agreed, X-2 can't compete with those films. :down

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Am I the only one that thinks Aliens...oh what's that term...owns?!?!

[echostation]

YOU FORGOT Batman Begins as a PREQUEL to the previous 4 Batman films...

[thealiasman2000]

Only a nerdy sci-fi fanboy would think "Aliens" is better than "The Godfather part 2".

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Only because I avent seen Godfather 2...nor when i voted (I didnt see it as an option).

:o

[thealiasman2000]

Go see it. NOW.

[Carmine Falcone]

The Godfather II

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

A bit hard at 10:35pm when the video store would be closed...plus I don't think Foxtel nore any free-to-air channels are airing it either.

Believe me, I want to see it, and the first one. You see, there's this book called "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" and the ones I hadn't seen before that book that I watched becaue of that book and loved. The first Godfather is in it at least, the second one might be. ighly doubtful about the first, though.

[Odin's Lapdog]

although i haven't watched all the films on that list, my favourite is Judgment day.

saying this, i can't honestly say it is the best, just my favourite.

[Flame on!]

Discounting strict trilogies like Matrix, LOTR & Star Wars of course.
Surely that would include the Godfather trilogy then?

[Flame on!]

Well I see X2 is winning. What a shocker.

Out of the options presented, I'd say the Wrath of Khan purely because the leap in quality and entertainment value from Star Trek TMP is so huge, whereas all the others had a pretty decent first flicks to start with.

[huskerwebhead]

Wrath of Khan, hands down. Followed by T2.

[chosen1]

you forgot to add jurrasic park the Lost World

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

...that is not worthy of being in this poll. That's a mediocre sequel at best.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Though I have to admit, I like dinos in the city and the babies...

[Kanon]

I voted Rocky II

The Addams Family sequel shoould be up there too.

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Hmm...

[Super Flight]

i liked the addams family sequel way better then the first one, it had funnier stuff in it
