Name a sequel you think is better than the original

For me it’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows over the original.

Story line set against rising tensions between European nations. A deeper dive into the slow-motion breakdown of Holmes’ thought process. Jared Harris was absolutely the right casting for Moriarty. The broadened score by Hans Zimmer. It all elevated the storyline and movie IMO.

So many good scenes and sequences:

The soldiers on the train, the Don Giovanni distraction, escaping the munitions factory, and the final chess match between Holmes and Moriarty.

All around great watch.
