What movie sequels/prequels were better that it's original version.

If found that the original movies were the best most of the time. I would always catch myself saying "Part 1 was better." on numerous occasion. But I think we'll all agree when I say that a few movie sequel/prequel do slip by as being better than it's original. But which movies?

I say i though X-Men 1 was horrible compared to X-Men 2. X-Men 2 rocked. Alot of people like Empire strikes back better than "A New Hope"

And oh, I thought Terminator 2 was better than pt 1.

I think there is a thread like this somewhere, but MDF needs new material so here's my opinion.

Terminator 2 was better than The Terminator Because the effects were better, and the Characters were better And overall James cameron had more experience as a director when he Directed T2, Which led to a better overall Sequel. But I prefer The First Terminator over the 3rd. Don't get me wrong, The third one was pretty awesome IMO. But the casting for John connor was pretty bad, to say the least.

Honestley, I liked the First X-men Better than the 2nd. The way they introduce the Characters in the first X-men movie was done extremley well, and I really enjoyed it. But as far as entertainment goes I preffer the 2nd, It was funnier and and had more action, which can really mess up a film when done wrong. But this time it was done right.

I Disliked Star Trek: The motion Picture, because when compared to 'Star Trek 2 The wrath of Khan' it was crap. Star Trek 2 is one of my favorite films to date. Great ending, and great suspense. Live long and prosper.

As Far as Rocky Goes, The origian 'Rocky' movie was superrior amungst other Rocky sequels. I'm still sontemplating on if Rocky 6 will blow, or be half way decent.

I also Disliked all Highlander sequels. But I really enjoy the first. The idea for that film was incredibly original, in a good way. And It's a wonder that Idea wasn't taken before.

The Godfather Part 2 better than the first one IMO. Mostly because of Robert Deniro's performance and story. It was great, and kept me looking at the film a little better than the first. But by all means the first one was excellent too. I just preffered Robert Deniro's little Prequel-like story, and how he came to be the Don.

The indiana Jones sequels were better than the original Indiana Jones film. But that's only my opinion. I think the sequels were done very well, and are the best sequels when compared to the original to date. Again, I'm not saying the first one was bad.

Nightmare on Elmstreet: 3 Was better than the first. It had a better plot outline overall, and I thuroghlly enjoyed every minute of it. High class horror entertainment. IMO.

The bourne Identity is much better than the sequel IMO, it had excellent cinematography for a action movie, and The sequel lagged behind just a tad. I really didn't even feel like watching the second one.

The first Die Hard was excellent, absolutely awesome. But the next 2 were mediocre. and i dont know what the 4th is going to be like. The idea of terrorists threats got dull after a while.

The First Matrix will outbeat the Any of the sequils any fay of the week. I watch the 2nd Matrix for the action, The 3rd matrix for the cool effects. But I watch the 1st because it blends the 2nd and 3rd together and adds originality and story, making it a solid all around fillm.

I could go on for alot longer, but right now I want to mention batman begins. Batman begins is much better than any other Batman film ever made. Chris Nolan And David S. Goyer put their heart and soul into this film, and it prevailed most magninficently.

I'm going to say SW: ESB was better than ANH.

i personally prefered aliens to alien...i'll post more soon

Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Before Sunset, Godfather Part II. I don't count Batman Begins because it's not a sequel...

The title of the tread says sequels/prequels.

It's not a prequel either... It's a restart of the franchise.

I felt that Back to the Future 2 was better than Back to the Future. There is more story than just Marty having to get back to 1985. So many things go wrong that must be fixed in the second movie. The third was probably the worst.

Another sequel that was better than the first was The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. I thought it was far better than Fist Full of Dollars. I have not seen For a Few Dollars More so I'm not sure about that one

Terminator 2, X-Men 2, Child's Play 2, Evil Dead 2, Back to the Future Part 2.

I'm surprised by how many see Spider-Man 2 as better than the original. There were a few scenes in #2 that really degrated the movie.

As for the Star Wars franchise, A New Hope will remain my favorite of both trilogies.

And Indiana Jones, The Last Crusade was close, but not as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark, IMO.

Scary Movie 3 beat the previous two Scary Movies. That's really a matter of opinion though 'cause most of the time, you either liked the first two or you liked the third.

BB itself is a prequel the way I see it. But the next two movies being added to BB would be considered a whole different Franchise all together.

Terminator 2
Back to the Future 2
Batman Returns
LOtR 2

Meh, I don't see it that way... And neither did the writers. Yeah, it does fit in with the others as a prequel story-wise, but it's so much different. And you know the next movies are going to follow the same path with the same actors, same style, same Gotham it's better to just call this lot a new set of movies. But, regardless, it is a much better film than any of the others... ✅

I agree.

Totally agree. I remember watching "BTTF pt2" as a kid, in the theatres exactly 11 times in '89, I'll never forget it. Although pt. 1 was a classic pt. 2 was unforgettable to me. Especially when Marty was in the Future in 2015. It's still one of my favorite movies. (top Ten)I saw it the other day with the same gleefulness i had watching it as a kid in the theatres. I still think those Nike's he had on in the future still rule, lol.

I loved the welcoming virtual Ronald Regan in the Cafe' 80's when he goes. "Welcome to the Cafe' 80's. Where it's always morning in America. Even in the after-noo-noo-noon." as if he glitched lol, I still find that kinda cool. The Virtual Micheal Jackson did it too. When he said, while talking to a customer about the menu, he goes "I comes with a side a chilantro with your choice of chicken, be-be-beef, or pork." lol. I'm retarded. I just love this movie. I guess it's because I'm a futurist. I wish 2015 would b like that but it wont. It'll be like now. It's only 10yrs 20 days away. What could possibly happen. there's no frikken progress now of anything. I honestly thought we'd see flying car by now.

But I digress.

And pt3 was the worst. That flying train was too crazy for me.

👆 Most defiantly.

Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back

Terminator 2

Aliens

Spider-Man 2

X-Men 2

Harry Potter has been getting better with every installment too. Prisoner Of Askaban was leagues ahead of the first two confusing movies.

I liked Back To The Future more than it's sequels, even though I love all three. I also think Batman Begins doesn't count because, even though I think it is so far the best Batman movie yet, it doesn't count because these new films are a brand new set of movies, as opposed to being part of the "other" Batman continuity.

T2
Spider-Man 2
Childs Play 2
Batman Returns

What I love about Part 2 is that even today, 16 years later, the future is still amazing. Hovering cars, hoverboards, self-tying shoes, self-drying and adjusting jacket, TV waiters, etc. And the whole inside out pockets thing is such a good satire of style trends. Seriously, why does anyone find wearing your pants below your ass fasionable? Also, the Jaws 13 part still cracks me up.

this is on the scary movie mentioning earlier

Liked the first and third.

Second was horrible.

the second. was the best one.

the third was complete crap, it was directed by a the man behind Airplane. Plus, they funniest characters, the wayans brothers, werent even in it

first and second directed by keenan ivory wayans and featured the wayans brothers. they were the funniest.

You just need to see all the movies that the second one makes fun of to actually find it funny. I saw the exorcist, then scary movie 2, then the exorcist again. 😂 😂 omg i was laughing to death...then it makes fun of all those pop culture movies from the late 90s and the early 90s...come on its hilarious

scary movie 3 makes fun of 1 scary movie...the ring, which was more creepy than actualy horror..it makes more fun of signs and 8mile[[I MEAN COME ON..SCARY MOVIE 3...NOT 9 MILE]]
