obviously zero knows nothin' about movies, cuz T2 is the best sequel ever made, i also agree with the rockies, and back to the future. the second was my fave of the trilogy. Spider man 2 was allright, and the "scary" movies get funnier all the time as well.
the whole batman franchise is wierd. it started with tim burton, then people just started to basically add on. so you cant really yay or nay based on sequels. Its the directing style, the cast, and the story/script you go based on. i personally like them litterally in order as they go starting with Mr. Tim "genious" Burton

It's obvious you know nothing about movies there,
1.All Rockie's (Except the first) were absolutely horrible.
2.T2 was pretty horrible.
3. Spider-man 2 was absolutely genious.
4.The first two Scary Movies were horrible with exception for the third.
5.Your whole "Batman Franchise is weird", comments make no sence.
What have i been thinking - the greatest sequel in history is also perhaps the greatest movie ever made... it set the standard, raised the bar, everybody loves it (everybody thats worth anything...) and it's not been mentioned yet.
Any takers what this cinematic masterpiece - this glittering jewel - might be?

Troll 2?
Movieluver, hang around for a little while before you start in on anyone else's level of expertise. Mr. Zero and I haven't seen eye to eye on everything (yeah, I liked Temple of Doom. It may have been the weakest in the trilogy, but it wasn't horrible), but he does know the medium. Lay off the personal attacks, okay?
Now then: I re-read eggmayo's first post, and the three movies he listed (Mad Max 2, Evil Dead 2, Scary Movie 2) ARE part of trilogies. I think what he doesn't want is anything EXCEPT the "Part II" installments from various series.
And, for what it's worth:
LOTR: Meant to be a three-parter, so it's hard to choose one (but I choose the second).
Kill Bill: One movie, regrettably split in twain by the director instead of giving in to the studio heads who wanted him to trim it down.
Shrek 2--just as good, if not better than, the original. Same for "Spider-Man 2", but remember, both of these franchises have numerous sequels planned.
Empire--my personal least favorite of the OT, but only because of the down ending (hey I was ten--I needed closure)
T2--An exceptional sequel, IMO. The first film, for having such a strictly limited budget, produced an engaging, original action concept. The second movie did that too--an original story, almost non-stop action, humor, tributes to the first film without being repititious, and enough in the financial department to make some highly impressive and groundbreaking effects. Now...the third one...THAT sucked. Talk about overblown re-hash and unfunny tributes. Ick!
Rocky II--ended with Rocky beating Apollo, after a sentimental look at Rocky's personal struggle or supporting his family and keeping his dignity, after having tasted the good life ever so briefly. The third and fourth, I thought were good "popcorn fare", but the fifth was tripe.
Rambo--I didn't much care for the first; the second was a timely anti-commie action extravaganza, and the third was an attempt to cash in on the success of its predecessor.
Back to the Future--I'm perfectly happy with all three movies, and think they compliment each other well. They're as perfect a trilogy as the 80's ever produced.
Halloween/Freddy/Jason/Jaws/etc, etc--in the words of Sidney Prescott, "The first one was good, but the sequels sucked." Those types of movies run out of steam QUICKLY.
Indiana Jones--Granted, "Last Crusade" was the better of the two sequels, but they still both have that Spielberg magic.
Mad Max--The second one, "The Road Warrior" was the best, hands down, followed by the original, and then (shudder) "Beyond Thunderdome".
Scary Movie/Naked Gun/Bradys--As long as the jokes are fresh, keep makin' em, I say. But I would NOT agree that the third "Scary Movie" was best in that series. Volume 1 was.
Batman--just decreased in value with each film.
Follow the linky to solve the mystery...
Even the picture brings a tear to my eye...
