best sequel
 

what are the best sequel?

my pick is ghostbusters 2
the two towers
mortal kombat 2

The Empire Strikes Back.

T2: Judgment Day
SW Episode V: Empire Strikes Back
Aliens


3 sequels that I consider being atleast as good as the original.

Definately.

Two Towers was great as well.
TMNT 2 was kind of almost just as good but not quite but it definately was a good sequel. But TMNT 3 just ruined everything.

[Edit: Ill add Toy Story 2 and X2]

Gremlins 2

..can't think of anymore right now

-The Empire strikes back
-The Two Towers (not as good as the first one though)
-Batman Returns

x2
empire strikes back
T2
Superman 2

Terminator 2, Aliens, and X-Men 2

I wouldn't consider Two Towers to be a sequel. It's part of a set trilogy. When Fellowship of the Ring was created, Two Towers was already created as well. They are all three meant to go together. It's basically just one long movie broken up. Empire Strikes Back may be the same thing since it was all one idea George Lucas already had.

I think a sequel is just when they make one movie and then later decide to make another one based on how well the first one did. Terminator 2 and Aliens follow that, I think, because the first movies had closure and the creators never expected the story to be continued in the beginning.

That's just me though.

BTW -- 100th post!!! Woo-hoo!!!

[sarcasm]Oh yeah, people just KNEW there wasn't going to be an Alien sequel since the ending scene involved Ripley going into hypersleep destined to encounter unknown phenomena in the galaxy and wake up 57 years later and not age a single day... :roll:

Anyway:

Terminator 2
Aliens
Empire Strikes Back AND Return of the Jedi (you heard me right)
Star Trek IV
Star Trek: First Contact
Robocop 2
Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (anyone who argues with me is asking for a flamewar)

X2! DUH! :D, Terminator 2, Empire Strikes Back *Mimmics R2-D2 perfectly*, Return of the Jedi, (gee....am I a Star Wars freak? :lol: ) and....I can't think of any others right now.

Way to go, Relay! Keep it up!

Batman Returns (screw you!!! i liked it!!!)

Besides LotR and Star Wars, Toy Story 2 and X-men 2.

Terminator 2
Two Towers
Yu Yu Hakusho; Spirit Report(heck...all things considered it was way BETTER than the first 'movie')
Armitage Third: (can't remember the rest of the name of the movie's sequal....While the second Armitage movie isn't entirely as good as the first I think it deserves credit anyway. They did very good with it considering it was a movie about a 'settled down' version of Armitage. You know, married, with kid, living normal, boring life and then all the sudden she has to get back into action, ect.)

I WOULD have liked Mortal Kombat 2, but even with not liking Jhonny Cage, killing him like that was nuts...and my favorite character outside of Raiden is Jade....so YEAH...I was QUITE dissapointed there.

No Rez, Aliens wasn't an already planned sequel, and the ending was meant to have Ripley return home...the 2 films have different writers too

I quite liked predator 2 over the 1st and also the later lethal weapons are good

Problem Child 3.

Yep. The success of Alien suprised everyone.

T2 & T3
blade 2
matrix revolutions
X-2
OT star wars movies
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (ending = Timeless)
Batman Returns

Highlander 2.

Just kidding.

Empire Strikes back is my favorite... X2 was good.

Polymatrix.

dontebell,
i'm sorry.. must disagree..
the first Mortal Kombat was OK... but
MK: Annihilation was one of the biggest disgraces in movie history...
I'm almost 18, now, and I could have done a better job on the scipt when the movie was new, and I was younger back then, and trust me, i was young, but still absolutly brilliant... and I knew everything the was to know about Mortal Kombat.

I was very disappointed w/ MK2 and I'm about as big as the MK fans come.

If anyone wishes to test my knowledge of MK... feel free...please.


----I have to say Empire Strikes Back and X2: X-Men United(except N'Sync)

I'll list more as I think of them.

there nothing wrong with mortal kombat:annihilation i think it was great.

There was nothing good about Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is how I would put it...

The Mummy Returns.

Not so much because of the quality of the movie itself, but because it's just such an unbelievable improvment on the original in just about every single way. It's 10 times better than the original. It just kicks that ass.

Sayonara.

Oh yeah: newbs, say hello to this thread's evil twin ;)

SPIDER-MAN 2

just the comicon footage i saw blew away the OK X2

Matrix Revolutions
The Empire Strikes Back
Pokemon 2000....*gets pelted with garbage*
Blade 2
Back to the future 2
Godzilla X Mechagodzilla (i dunno if you would classify this as a sequel...but hey its like...the 26th Goji movie so i guess its a sequel)

and of course...*self-promotion*

The Toontrix Reloaded! :wink:

usually sequals are not as good as the originals

but I will say The Star Wars series....even though I am not much of a Star Wars fan

X2, Blade II, Terminator 2, Matrix Revolutions, The Mummy Returns, Aliens, Home Alone 2.

Aliens (way better than the original, III and Resurrection )
Army of Darkness
Dawn of the Dead
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Star Trek II, IV, VI and First Contact
TMNT 2
Back to the Future Part III
The Godfather Part II
Terminator 2

I'm sure there are more but those are the big ones I think.

I'm kinda just mentioning what everyone else has already said, but I want to say it too, dammit!

Aliens
LOTR: The Two Towers
Home Alone 2
Batman Returns
X2
Rocky II
Godfather II
Empire Strikes Back (my fav SW film)
Terminator 2 & 3 (in my opinion, both as good)
