No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Go read up on what Aliens 3 was supposed to be and what it actually turned out as. You will want to vomit when you watch Aliens 3 then.

Wait, you've never seen T2? What the hell man?

Nope. If it makes it any better I just added the Blu-ray to my queue.

The first one was not sucktastic either, I thought it was awesome. Admittedly, it's been many years since I last watched it, but it was still great the last time I did.

No kidding - what was KT doing in 1991 or whenever it was it came out? It was the biggest action blockbuster of the decade!

Oh and whoever says that alien 3 is superior to aliens is smoking crack, or has a huge crush on Charles S. Dutton.

My vote goes to Empire Strikes Back, and I'm drawing a blank on others.

Underage drinking.

At the risk of being completely destroyed here, I've never seen Aliens either. I liked Alien quite a bit though.

Some of the longer running porn series are much better with the recent sequels :)

You haven't seen T2, you haven't seen Aliens, you make fun of people who like Godfather more than Godfather 2... Good God man... Oh, right, Canadian. You've probably only had electricity for like 4 years, 5 max.

Another vote for Empire Strikes Back.

The fiance liked The Whole Ten Yards better than The Whole Nine Yards.

I like the second Austin Powers movie better than the first.

T2 > T1
Aliens > Alien

Hey now, where did I make fun of anyone for liking the first Godfather more? I can totally understand liking the first one more, but in my opinion the 2nd one was a better movie. I am just late to the party on certain things (I saw Forrest Gump for the first time a few months ago) because I was usually watching smaller or older movies when I was younger.

Oh and I've had electricty since November 30th, 2005.

I'm surprised so many people are saying Aliens... I thought Alien was by far the better movie.

I agree with Godfather 2 though.

FYI, the Blu-ray version of T2 is the theatrical release. There's a director's cut available on DVD which adds in about half an hour of new footage, including entire scenes. Honestly, both versions are very good, and you probably won't miss much not seeing the director's cut, but just so you know it's out there.

The Human Tornado (Dolemite II). Way better than Dolemite 1, but that really isn't saying much.

Bad Boys II

Shrek 2

And I think Indiana Jones the 3rd one was prob the best of the trilogy.

EDIT:

And I don't know if this counts (or if it is even fair), the latest King Kong was much better than the cheesy old ones in my opinion.

I have to agree with Tweak on the Indiana Jones. While Raiders and Temple were good, I really enjoyed Crusade much more.

And depending on my mood I prefer Rocky 3 or 4 over Rocky 1. Rocky 1 is great and inspirational, but I think that Rocky 3 and 4 were much more enjoyable to watch.



**Edit: And now I've got the rocky theme stuck in my head :( **
