inspired by the other thread, post movies that had better sequels than the originals...

ill go first, DIE HARD 3 (with a vengeance) > DIE HARD

6/11/2007 11:47:33 AM

not that I am a big star trek nerd but the 2nd star trek movie was >>>> then the original

i know there are several let me ponder about them

6/11/2007 11:49:46 AM

die hard > die hard 3 >> die hard 2

and the new one looks stupid

6/11/2007 11:53:20 AM

Aliens?

spiderman 2 > spiderman > spiderman 3

evil dead 2 > evil dead

lotr 2 > lotr 3 > lotr 1

toy story 2 > toy story 1



Indiana Jones could probably deserve mention, along with Batmans, Terminators, Aliens, etc.

6/11/2007 12:00:38 PM

- Spider-Man 2
- Toy Story 2 (holy fucking shit is this a great film)
- Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Babe: Pig in the City (prepare to be disturbed)
- Kill Bill, Vol. 2 (perhaps not "better," but a more complete experience, and I'm not sure if it even counts)
- Star Wars: Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back
- Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

^ Temple of Doom sucks, Last Crusade is good but not even close to Raiders

^I disagree... i liked the last crusade the best of the 3.

6/11/2007 12:30:33 PM

Pirates 2 was a lot better than 1, IMO.

Havent' seen the 3rd.

6/11/2007 12:31:01 PM

I didn't mention anything as to the order of Indiana Jones' for that reason.
Some say 3>1 others 1>3

Either way, 2 is dead last.

Harry Potter, I would hope that is in reference to the book and not the movie.

6/11/2007 12:31:12 PM

raiders > crusade > doom

Matrix 2 > Matrix > Matrix 3

6/11/2007 12:37:45 PM

cruel intention 2

if for no reason other than the shower scene and the ending

6/11/2007 12:40:45 PM

I can't believe no one has mentioned the obvious:

Wayne's World 2

6/11/2007 12:40:48 PM

Ergo, Vis a vis, concordantly, apropos

I'm gonna have to disagree on the matrix 2 > matrix

the chase scene on the highway was good, fight scenes seemed to drag out.
had it been a complete movie and not a part 1, it would have been better

Weapons of Ass Destruction 34 was much greater than Weapons of Ass Destruction 1-33.

6/11/2007 1:10:24 PM

saw 3 > saw 2 > saw 1

saw 1 was incredible

6/11/2007 1:13:29 PM

I like alien because of the guns and shit too but Alien is like the seminal horror/suspense film. Its way more inportant to that genre than aliens it

6/11/2007 1:16:29 PM

Before Sunset > Before Sunrise

6/11/2007 1:30:05 PM

anyone who said aliens > alien is going to get hit by a car today.

SO WHAT if there's more of em and more guns and marines getting slaughtered...the ONE alien of the first movie is scarier than all the aliens in the second movie combined.

alien > alien 3 > aliens >>>>>> alien 4

Harrison Ford and Sean Connery had a great chemistry. Besides the "you choose poorly" (can't recite the quote off memory) during the choosing of the cup has to be in the list of top 50 movie quotes

Your opinion is WRONG!

6/11/2007 1:59:43 PM

^^ Yes definitely. One of the most understated and perfectly delivered one-timers in movie history.

"He chose...poorly."

6/11/2007 2:29:57 PM

as a kid maybe

6/11/2007 2:38:34 PM

i actually like the 3rd Back to the future better then the 2nd.

The 2nd was to wrapped up in space time continuum and other nerdy star trek alternate reality mumbo jumbo

incorrect answers thus far in this thread:

spiderman 2
Pirates 2
Matrix 2
cruel intentions 2
Wayne's World 2
BttF 2


I can't believe no one's mentioned Godfather 2 yet. or at least put it up for debate. They were both such awesome movies.

6/11/2007 3:12:58 PM

i haven't seen cruel intentions 2, any good?

You must hate Spider-man, because that flick contained everything that's right about the entire franchise, down to the "Go get 'em, tiger."

GodFather 2 > GodFather 1

T2 > T1

Rocky IV > Rocky I

6/11/2007 3:28:00 PM

i'll go T2>T1

but Rocky IV > I no way.

i may also agree spider 2> spider 1

6/11/2007 3:36:14 PM

My list for better sequels:

BttF 3
Superman 2
Spiderman 2
Breakin II: Electric Boogaloo


Indiana Jones 1 vs 3 has to be taken on a scene by scene basis.
Examples,
#1 Snakes vs. #3 Rats => Winner: Snakes
#1 Dude face melts off vs. #3 Dude turns to dust => Winner: melty face dude.
#1 Evil French guy swallows a bug vs.

fuck it there is no comparison, Raiders beats Crusade out any day.

6/11/2007 3:48:01 PM

Plus, the final shot of Raiders is quite possibly the greatest final shot in film history.

6/11/2007 4:00:27 PM

i dunno, sean connery really adds to crusade, plus the shady blonde chick is entertaining



but as to the thread title...xmen 2 > xmen 1

6/11/2007 4:41:53 PM

Matrix = philosophy on a fifth grade level, cool fight scenes

Matrix 2 = far greater discussion, even better fight scenes

Matrix 3 = did not fulfill.

The Godfather part II (by a very very thin margin)
