Obviously a topic from Scream 2, but I’m rewatching Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2 and everything in the sequel is better: relationships, action, comedy, women, etc.

What other sequels are better than the original?

This is one I’ve always struggled with. I felt it was kind of slow in parts and the fact that Heath Ledger died after the movie always sort of gave this move more pizzazz than it's worth. A lot of ethical questions are brought up in the movie but I always thought they weren’t deep enough, for whatever reason.

Quite possibly the most obvious non-obvious entry. What’s not to like? Better action, super shredder, Vanilla Ice.

Agree. They got the formula right here.

When Nature Calls


Not quite sure if 2>1.

Bad Boys 2


Interesting. The action defiantly escalated here. Though, I’m not sure story was that much better.

Captain America: Civil War



Over which Cap? I’ve never fully made a decision as to Cap 1 or Cap 2. Both have great aspects—and Cap 2 is an MTV favorite. For me, there is something about the origin story that keeps me debating if Cap 2 is greater than Cap 1.

I prefer Alien (guess I like horror more than action). But to answer your question, Terminator 2.

T2
Aliens
Empire Strikes Back
ST2: The Wrath of Khan

Those come to mind. But Highlander thread had me thinking about how great the original was vs the sequels. Man they were bad compared to the original.

It is by a mile for me. That movie has made me laugh about as hard as movie as I've ever seen.

It was probably the drug angle and the better action scenes. I also found it to have more funny parts. I mean, the whole thing with Reggie coming over to pick up Megan for a date. Marcus ingesting the X. Marcus and his donut. The scene at the electronics store. I could go on.

First Avenger. I'm usually one for origin stories too. But, much prefer Wintee Soldier. I accidentally typed Civil War. I prefer Winter Soldier over Civil War.

League of Shadows is better than the first Sherlock Holmes movie

Back to the Future 2 is better than the first one, which was in and of itself, nearly a perfect movie.

If 22 Jump Street isn't better than 21 Jump Street, it's damn close.

Escape From Guantanamo Bay is arguably better than White Castle

Shrek 2 was as good or possibly better than the original.
