Why better? I'd put them on exactly the same level, damned near perfect.
The first film was a lot of set-up that payed off in part 2.
Dead snow 2. First one was so bad it was good, the second one was actually incredibly.
I'm guessing you don't mean "film better than T2 that also happens to be a sequel," but rather "sequel that is better than the first film by an amount greater than T2 was over T1."
I haven't seen T1 in a while, so I'm not sure how it would hold up. I want to say it was like a 7/10? And T2 a 10/10?
So, is there a sequel that is more than 3/10 better than the first film?
Inside Out and Bladerunner are both better than 7/10 in the first place, thus their sequels cannot be the answer regardless of how you would rate them.
I've never seen the Twilight films, but wasn't the 2nd one said to be a huge upgrade over the 1st?
Same with Shrek. I never made it through the 1st one, it was so bad.
Toy Story 2? My other answer would be Godfather part II, but it's been so long since I saw it that I don't know if I agree with that commonly-held opinion.
I really wish they had made a 23 jump street. 22 jumpstreet wasn't as big of a jump in awesomeness like T1 vs T2, but it was still an even funner movie than 21 and I'm sad they didn't milk the franchise for one more film. Especially with all those baller ideas they had at the end of 22. Lol
Leprechaun 4?
Superman II
Superman lll
Is slightly better than IV but can't touch II. Terence Stamp's Zod is one of the great superhero movie villains.
Iโll give you Zod was a cool villain. But personally Richard Pryor makes lll for me, plus I had it on video as a kid, recorded off tv & must of watched it repeatedly. There was so much cool tech in lll (for the 80s) that I think it may have even influenced me to get into programming in later life, so itโll always have a soft spot in my retro film collection ๐ฟ
I may say unlike the movies, Terminator Zero Series is very good!. It is animated, but story telling is sooo good there.
This is 40 as sequel to knocked up.
Technically a prequel, Mike Flanniganโs Ouija: Origin of Evil far exceeds the original by every measure.
I don't think so, no.
Inside Out 2
Terminator 3
probably since the First movie sucked aswell
