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?

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.

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.

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.

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

 

[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]

Terminator 2 is my fave from that list

Others of note:
Godfather 2
Aliens
X2

 

[GoldGoblin]

where is spiderman 2?

^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

 

[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.
