That's an interesting blog you've got there, by the way. How long have you been reading comics?

Thanks, I appreciate it. Been reading comics since I was about six.

The other thing I did not mention that I wanted to add on Darth was yeah I definetely liked Lethal Weapon two MUCH better than the first one.The first one I did not care for or like because I thouught it was way too violent with too much unnessary violence in it and there wasnt much humor in it where the second one didnt really have much violence in it like torture or anything like that and had much more humor in it with more action in it so for me,yeah its a no brainer.Two is far better than the first one which again I think is highly overrated.

Off,the top of my head,Superman 2 and Evil dead 2

i cant think of any that i liked the sequel and not the original, its usually the other way around.

Undisputed 2 (first movie was mediocre, but this direct-to-video sequel was cheated out of being shown on the big screen)
LOL. The first film is great. The second one is the film that's mediocre. Apart from the incredible(but predictable) fight scenes it's very underwhelming. I love Michael Jai White but he isn't better than Snipes/Rhames in Undisputed.

With that said, I have a fondness for Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween.

Mad Max- The Road Warrior was better than Mad Max one.

😬 No,I'm not. My apologies I thought the thread topic was what sequels did you like BETTER then the originals,sorry,my bad

So let me correct my previous post,by stating that I like Superman 2 and Evil Dead 2 BETTER then the originals.Yes,I still do like the original movies as well though,just not as much as I like the sequels.

🙂 Once again,My Apologies

If the Star Wars films count, then I like Empire Strikes Back over A New Hope. ANH was good but paled in comparison to the magintude of ESB

I argee alot of movies that was remade I don't like at all.Planets of Apes was awful as a remake and The Parent Trap and that Darn cat. 🙂

If this is about disliking the first film, not just thinking the second one is better...

Then yes, Fantastic Four 2 is way better than the lame Fantastic Four.

Oh oopes thanks.

I liked 28 Weeks Later, but I was not a fan of 28 Days Later.

Interesting. Why didn't you like Days? And why Weeks?

Batman Begins wasn't my cup of tea. The Dark Knight brought everything full circle and made me appreciate both movies as part of a larger mythology.

😮‍💨 The Dark Knight was the better film,but why didn't you like Batman Begins?

I don't know if this counts but I liked the last Star Trek movie they made and pretty much hated everything that came before it.

That definitely counts.

🙂 I agree on that one

Okay, I still don't think some of you guys get it.

There are plenty of film sequels that people prefer to the originals, but I'm talking good sequels to movies you didn't even like.

Thats too hard imo, thats why I didnt list any thing.
