I think for a sequel to work you have to have an interesting story to tell otherwise it is a forgettable cash grab. I think the characters are the most important aspect and their journey rather than the plot needing to be new and fresh. T2 is pretty much a beat for beat recreation of Terminator but it didn't matter as the villain was new and fresh and the characters of John, Sarah and the Terminator was so engaging. I don't think there is an excuse for poor sequels. For instance I thought the Wachowski's got the sequels for Matrix BADLY wrong and seemed to forget what made The Matrix so great.
