Out of the 2nd CBM's which didnt match the original, which one was the best?

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I'm talking about the many sequels that didnt match the original movie, either because the original was hard to match or because they simply werent good. And I am talking about the ones which were universally not liked as much as the original, not the likes of Superman II, Blade II or Batman Returns which for many people matched their originals, we actually had a couple this year, so vote away please folks.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Speaking this year, Amazing Spider-Man 2 is lesser than the first of this series.
Transformers 2 is easily worse than the first.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is lesser than the first movie.
The Crow 2 is lesser than The Crow.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Yeah, I was thinking more of the modern CBM's, since Blade really, should have said that, anyway my choice is Kick-Ass 2, with such a low budget and a change of director, I actually ended up really enjoying it, and have much less issues than I have with the others.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

^Ok
I forgot Thor 2, I could not enjoy that movie as much as I did the first, so I guess I agree with the people about it being a lesser movie. Of the ones
Iron Man 2 is my favorite in this list, but I see I rushed in voting and chose Thor 2.

 

[Human Torch]

Out of the ones I've seen on the list,ASM2 was easily better than it's predecessor.It's not the best movie on the list,but it's the only film better than the original.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Of all those ASM2 is the best.

 

[StarkTheProdigy]

Thor: The Dark World

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Most people and critics say the 1st movie is, the better movie. TASM definitely had a better structure and was more focused.

 

[Saitou Hajime]

Iron Man 2.

 

[spiderman2]

This is easy for me asm2 and its not even close. ASM is like my 3erd or 4th favorite CBM ever and asm1 is more like 9th. Iron man 2 is just has good has iron man 1 to me has iron man 1 is so overratied to me and is just a ok movie and iron man 2 is just a ok movie to me to.

 

[psylockolussus]

Wow, tough poll! I seriously don't know who to vote. None of the movies listed are great or satisfying.

 

[Batmannerism]

1) Thor TDW: personally I preferred it to Thor, I thought it kept the elements that made the first movie good, Hiddleston was terrific as Loki, and there was a nice balance of humour (although less Kat Dennings would have been good) and action - and the dark elves were appropriately creepy. I quite like that while movie Thor is powerful, he isn't all powerful, especially without Mjolnir, which makes it possible to believe he might not win in the end. Good cliffhanger ending too.

I gave Thor TDW a solid 8/10



2) TASM 2: I didn't like TASM all that much, and while TASM 2 wasn't great as a film, it had some really good moments, and Andrew Garfield was much better as PP/SM. As a sequel it wasn't great, but okay (good ending though and Gwen's death was well handled) and that I can live with.

I give TASM 2 a 6.5/10, not bad at all.


IMO the rest of them were absolute crap, and I would avoid seeing them again as they diminish the original (the most unforgivable being Iron Man 2, which isn' t the worst by a long shot, but was a such a lame follow up to such an amazing first film - a bit like Kick Ass 2).

Ghost Rider: spirit of vengeance was so terrible, that it was actually fun to watch, especially Nic Cage's crazy moments.

GI Joe (the first) was a guilty pleasure, not a good movie, but really fun to watch - the second movie was just awful.

Transformers (the first) was a fun, solid sci-fi actioner.... it was as if Michael Bay made the sequel while on copioius amounts of crack, because was everything good about the first film was amped up and played at double speed - until we had no idea what was going on.

mind you it's a good laugh if you watch the honest trailer

I can only call em as I see em.TASM was awful.

 

[def28]

Thor Dark World.

 

[The Joker]

Iron Man 2. Plenty of flaws but I enjoyed it a lot more than the rest of the movies on that poll.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I can only call em as I see em.TASM was awful.

Fair enough, but TASM1 got a much better critic score, made more money and is generally better thought of as a movie. The same as all the other movies in this poll its considered an inferior sequel.

 

[Spider-Fan]

For all the hate Thor The Dark World gets, it is the best movie on this list.

 

[SymbioteKal-El]

Amazing Spider-Man 2 just above Iron Man 2 and Sin City 2, the latter of which I thought would get more votes.

 

[Human Torch]

For all the hate Thor The Dark World gets, it is the best movie on this list.

QFT

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^I wouldnt say its the best movie personally, to me its one of the most disappointing, especially when you take into account the budget and talent behind it. Out of all the movies on the list I would put it around 4th or 5th.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Thor: The Dark World. I think you can make the argument it was better than the first one.

Iron Man 2 was also a film I liked. Not on the level of the first one, but it was an enjoyable film despite its flaws.

Kick-Ass 2 was okay.

The rest are junk.

 

[Bim]

I love Thor: The Dark World and rank it right up there with the first one, so i dont get the hate, but to each their own. Clearly, to me it's the best one in this poll by far.

 

[Doc Ock]

For all the hate Thor The Dark World gets, it is the best movie on this list.

Yeah, it's what I voted for. Thought about picking Iron Man 2.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

I consider Iron Man 2 better than Thor 2. Especially in the villain dept, never got the hate for Vanko

 

[SymbioteKal-El]

Agree with this, it doesn't matter how bad Vanko was, he was still much better than Malekith. Iron man 2 is just a better movie all around if you ask me.
