Some people just miss the genius that was Blade II. Don't get me wrong, I'm a firm believer of everyone having there own opinion. Blade is a good film, but Blade II is significantly better in every way IMO.
Same with The Dark Knight and Batman Begins. The original is good and all, hell, I even called it great when it first came out but ever since The Dark Knight arrived it feels alot lesser. The two aren't even comparable to me.
Aliens and Spiderman 2 answer the thread for me though. Didn't like Alien and Spiderman was average. Spiderman 2, like Blade II, is significantly better than the original(Blade II>Spiderman 2 and Blade>>Spiderman).
Not sure if this counts, but I prefer the first Rob Zombie's Halloween to any of the previous films, including the Carpender 1978 original.
Terminator 2>The Terminator but it isn't a blowout like TDK/BB. That's how I feel with Blade/Blade II. Not a blowout, but the second is clearly superior.
Empire Strikes Back is far better than A New Hope. Of course, I prefer AOTC & ROTS to TPM.

Mad Max series is the only one I can think of where I legitimately did not like the original but like the sequels (well, at least Road Warrior). There are other series where I like the sequel more than the original (Aliens, Terminator, etc), but all of those I do actually like the originals as well.

To answer the question, no.
But, off topic, Yes, there are times where i prefer sequels to the originals and even prefer remakes to originals. Most sequels are better, when done properly. It's an example of the student becoming the teacher, following in the footsteps of his inspirer. Or the artist being entrusted with more resources and confidence. When the keys to the kingdom are misgiven, we get results like, Robocop 2...,Predator 2 and so on.

Okay, try not to think of just sequels that are better, but sequels you like to originals you don't.Better example: I do NOT like Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but I DO really like The Wrath of Khan.
Thats a very good example,hopefully people will catch on now.
Yeah I also did not like Star Trek The Motion Picture but I do like Wrath Of Khan.
Other movies out there that I did not like the first film but did like the sequal have already been mentioned as well that being
Lethal Weapon Two and
Spider-Man two.
