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

Why is making fun of 8 Mile briefly such a big deal when no one minds the many Matrix spoofs in the movies? And I guess you didn't get the TCM, Motel Hell, or The Others references, huh?

The Wayans Brothers are not funny. Well, I found Damon Wayans funny in some things he was in. Other than that, the Wayans have never made a good movie.

David Zucker made Airplane!, Top Secret!, and the first two Naked Gun movies, with writing credits to the third. That is an excellent list of spoof movies which made him a better candidate to make another spoof movie rather than the Wayans.

And damn, let's get some spoof actors in this too. My first two picks, Leslie Nielson of the Naked Gun trilogy (among other spoof movies) and Charlie Sheen of the Hot Shots! movies. And they're both in it.

I'm looking forward to Scary Movie 4.

But who doesn't love "In living Color"? 🙂

ESB completely shattered ANH as far as I'm concerned - best movie of the saga, and probably my favorite movie, period.

Also on the Star Wars subject, ROTS was much better than the other two prequels, and also a lot better than ROTJ (in my opinion), I'd put it at my third favorite of the saga, behind ESB and ANH.

I also much prefered Spider-man 2 over the first Spidey movie.

I felt The Phantom Menace was the only one worth much in the PT. The pod race, the final lightsaber duel, I think those two scenes beat any scene in the rest of the PT. Every OT movie beats all three PT movies though.

I actually agree with you an that one. People looked over it so badly, probably because it felt out of place changing movie styles. But then again, people really disliked Jar Jar, and Jake Lloyd. Because of that, The Pod racing scene and The Final Fight scene were looked over. So to sum it all up, Jar jar ruined the movie.

As Far as Attack of the Clones go, It defiantly had it's moments. Much like the fight between Obi-wan and Jango. That was pure entertainment. Also the Colosseum Battle was one of the most intense moments in Star wars history. Period, and defiantly made up for the long intervals in EP II.

Revenge of the sith was a good addition. It had action alot of the time, and the opening scene was one of the funniest scenes out of all Star wars moments. I am of course referring to R2 when I say this. General grievous was a great character. one of the most colorful Star Wars characters to date. But I felt as though Ewan's Dialogue in this movie was horrid. Most of his lines sounded as if they came out of a 5 cent comic book somewhere. It really bothered me. But the ending was great, with the fall of the Jedi Temple and the Fight between Obi-wan and Anakin, and at the same time, the fight between Yoda and Sidious. Good stuff

Return of the Jedi was better than the previous two, and parts of Return of the King aren't better than FOTR or TTT.

The podrace in TPM was, in my opinion, completely pointless.

However, I still find Return of the Jedi to be the worst of the SW movies.

TAXI 2 was way better than the first one

alltho it is french it was very funny

As much as I love El Mariachi, Desparado was a lot better.

^ I wasn't going to say anything about it. I figured some people might like to re-vote.

But, I can see just about everything was covered in that thread. so, merging.

Matrix Reloaded - from an action/excitement point of view. Storywise, the first was classic.

Spiderman 2 - Pretty much same as above, but I liked the characters more in this one. And the whole 'Spiderman giving up' plot, that was cool.

Ghostbusters 2 - Wish I could hotwire a NES to the statue of Liberty 😂 And Bill Murray.....ahh...so funny....

Austin Powers : Spy Who Shagged Me - Fat Bastard. End of story.

Goldeneye - Not really a sequel, but one of my top favourite Bond movies.

Terminator 2 - Seriously, I dont think anything of today's technology has managed to match the realism of the liquid Terminator's freeze/explode/melt/regenerate scene.....

Dumb and Dumber - I dont know whether this counts as a 'sequel', seeing as Dumb and Dumberer was the prequel....but it was far better....Jim Carrey...man oh man...😂

Just ones I can remember off the top of my head....no Star Wars ones, I count all SW as equal...

return of the jedi!!

If you concider the new Star Wars movies to be it's own trilogy, Episode 3 is alot better than the first 2.

What else:

Mad Max 2,
Back to the future 2 (at least it felt better when i last saw it a as a kid),
Spiderman 2 (tho i don't remember much about Spiderman 1, but i remember it being more crappy)

And if those CKY "movies" by Bam Margera count... CKY2K is better than the first imo.

Blade II was a little better then Blade
