What movie sequel did you find as good or better than the original?

There are a lot of great sequels out there, but I think one that totally surpassed the original was "Terminator 2: Judgment Day. " While the film did pump up the action and special effects, it also retained a sharp sense of the drama going on. It gave the sequel this terrific (and rarely achieved) balance.

Don't get me wrong, the first "Terminator" is a great movie in it's own right - by today's standards it almost looks like an independent film - but I always felt it wasn't fleshed out enough, maybe being too busy trying to setup the whole Sarah Connor/John Connor future storyline. Plus, I mean, T-1000...enough said.

My vote would go for the original, "Dawn of the Dead. " Whie I would not say that it was better than, "Night of the Living Dead," I would say that it was on par as one of the best horror movies of all time, and an equal to, "Night of the Living Dead. " Not only did, "Dawn of the Dead," give zombie fans a new movie, a new set of characters, but it also gave zombie movies a new direction."Dawn of the Dead," gave us, "theme zombies.

" For the first time, we have a movie where there are particular zombies that we remember forever after seeing it. Who is going to forget the Hari Krishna zombie? Who is going to forget the nun?

Who is going to forget the escalator zombie? This set a tone for all future zombie movies, Every zombie movie since then has had a handful of zombies that we remember because of their differences. Don't forget, it gave us a completely differnt way of looking at malls!

Hands down the best is "The Godfather II". Wow. The best in any series made for the movies.

Hands Down!

As a Batman fan, I do agree that the Dark Knight was an amazing performance/sequel to Batman Begins, granted that it was also creepy that Heath was at his best knowing the fact that he passed away. I have to share a couple more sequels that I totally love that I know blows the previous movies: 1) Empire Strikes Back as sequel to Star Wars: A New Hope 2) LOTR: Return of the King as sequel to LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring I guess for me it would be a three-way tie!

I am particularly fond of "The Blair Witch Project 2". The first one seemed to take too long to develop the plot, but the second one did not have to waste time with establishing a back story so it jumped to the action faster. And I am a huge fan of the 1st person filming.

There are many movies if ye're talking for having good sequels- # Resident Evil Apocalypse It preceded the first movie by ACTION, THRILL & Alice's Powers and Look. Other sequels are good but mere XAGGERATION of Alice's Powers! # Underworld Rise of Lycans It aint sequel but its like a flashback for Vamp-Wolf medieval history!

I enjoyed Fantastic Four: Raise of the Silver Surfer over the original. Ga lac tus.

X2: x-men United was much better than the first X-men film. The addition of Nightcrawler was great, there was a lot more action, had good villains, and it left us with a nice cliffhanger.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch (June 15, 1990)

Two reasons. First, never has a movie sequel so completely, so absurdly deconstructed its original source material. Joe Dante, director bravely chose to use Gremlins 2 to out-and-out mock everything that was earnest, over-serious, and melodramatic about the first Gremlins, and the result is hilarious.It's a Warner Brothers cartoon version of a monster movie and John Glover's performance alone is enough to love it.

The second reason? Lack of competition. Every other sequel in 1990 was either an unsuccessful rehash of a much better film or a complete disaster.

Im going to say Saw 5. It was so much better than 1-4 it was really gross which I like and it really had a good plot to the story. I think that it should be one of the best movies of all time.

I thought Iron Man 2 was a lot better than the first one. And Mickey Rourke did an excellent job.

Rocky III was WAY better than the first two movies. It took the bold move of showing the 'hero' more frightened and vulnerable than he had ever been before. The choice to have his former nemesis, Apollo Creed, teach him how to actually Box rather than just try to depend on sheer determination to beat a superior fighter, was brilliant.

I don't really care for sequels much, with the exception of the aforementioned, and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which was far more exciting than the original, and gave us one of the most perfectly delivered performances of any film, in the person of Ricardo Montalban.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
