I haven't seen Blade II yet, but I've heard it's got a better story that the original. Can anyone confirm for me?

The third one, Beyond Thunderdome was a sad and hideous failure.

Two men enter, one man leaves.


😱

 
Aliens didn't hold a candle to Alien. Alien broke the mold and was an incredible flick. Aliens just capitalized on that. I mean...it had Bill Paxton in it...c'mon 😉

And Die Hard 2? That BLEW! BLECH!

Die Hard 3 was, imo, better than the original, though.


But the best sequel is Empire Strikes Back...awesome!

And Wrath of Khan compared to the 1st Star Trek movie? NO comparison...it ROCKED! 😀

Mad Max was a cool movie and the Road Warrior was a huge improvement ... then there was Thunderdome

What in the world were they thinking. 😕
 
aliens was leaps and bounds better than alien.

t2 was better than t1 but not by much.

austin powers 2
 
Superman II.

IIRC, "Mad Max"(1979) was released in the U.S. AFTER "The Road Warrior,"(1981) although it is the first in the series. They also dubbed over Mel Gibson's voice to give him a western cowboy accent.

Can you name movies that the sequel surpassed the original or the first one IYHO?

Some movies from the top of my head are Terminator 2 was so much better then the original Terminator.
I can't think of one...as far as terminator the first one was much better IMO.
 
lol alien ressurrection ~~~~ the worst piece of crap movie I've ever seen even worse than the 3rd aliens.
 
lethal weapon 4 😀
Well the first 1 (Gibson played the suicidal loose cannon maverick cop Martin Riggs character very convincing) and last are the best ones. 2 and 3 were good also but the fight scenes in 4 are really good and thus supasses the 2 and 3.
