I'm joking.
I was going to make the same joke myself. Good job I read page 2 of the thread first. I hope somebody somewhere was prosecuted for the quality of Highlander 2.
Then you'd be third. I think damalc got that one first.
Just shows how terrible Highlander 2 is. I loved the original and felt personally betrayed after seeing the sequel at the cinema.  |

Superman 2 kicks ass because of Zod and his gang of ex-pats.
The French Connection 2, Popeye on Drugs...
Airplane 2. funnier and more gags.
Hellraiser 2, when the franchise really took off.

Yes, but... was the 2nd one better than the 3rd? It is an accolade for the 2nd movie, isn't it?
Otherwise I would have mentioned the 3rd Harry Potter movie which was better than 1 or 2. (Haven't seen the 4th one yet, though.)

Another vote against BTTF2 - I saw it in the cinema and was massively disappointed, even as a kid, watching it. I think it doesn't stand up on its own as a film, only as a middle point between the other films in the trilogy - I couldn't get real satisfaction just watching that one on its own - look how it ends! BTTF is a great film that stands apart from the largely unnecessary sequels IMO.
I felt much the same way about LOTR:TTT - just the middle point where not much happens. I loved Fellowship - it seemed the most magical and complete to me, and didn't suffer the multiple endings disaster of ROTK.
As for others....
Alien and Aliens are very different animals, hard to compare as they are both excellent in their (different) genres.
I think Toy Story 2 is better.
Empire Strikes Back is definitely the best film in the saga.
The dark and magnificant Terminator over its often silly sequel. Hasta la vista, indeed.
X2 better than X-men.
Riddick is a dreadful film, whereas Pitch Black is guiltily enjoyable.
No one has mentioned Evil Dead II yet - a great film, although it is arguably just a remake. Definitely should be considered.
But then I disagree with ones already making the cut - I much prefer First Blood, Kill Bill v.1 and Shrek! There's no accounting for taste!

A good way to solve controversy is to use the IMDb scores.
BTTF is miles ahead of the sequels.
Spiderman 2 is ahead of S1.
Alien is almost neck and neck with Aliens.
But T2 is ahead of T1!  I'll have to disrespectfully disagree. 
Dawn of the Dead is level with Night of Living Dead. Oh well.

Yikes indeed.
Terminator/T2 - come on! Terminator was classic time-travel stuff, not only was T2 just a special FX binge that is already looking outdated, but it also undermined all of the time travel theory established in the original. In fact, not only is T2 not on my '2 is better than 1' accolade, it has long been sitting in my stinking sequels accolade instead
Highlander - glad you were all just joking! It is also in Stinking Sequels!
Alien/Aliens is a tough one, they are both great films. Don't think I'll add it, because of the strength of the original, not because the sequel wasnt good
Star Wars - this was groundbreaking. Empire Strikes Back was a good film, but I can't call it 'better than star Wars'
Spiderman 2 seems to be getting a lot of votes. My wife is a bit of a comic-book-movie fan, I'll talk to her tonight and if she agrees, it's in
BTTF - still holding off until I have seen it
X-Men - liked both films equally
Superman/superman 2 - so long since i've seen them i am not sure i can remember any more
Riddick - no intention of ever watching either film .....

Yikes, I was gonna put in my 2c worth, but talk about split opinions!
BTTF2 was nowhere near as good as BTTF.
Aliens probably better than Alien.
T2 better FX than T1, but I think I'd stick with T1 as having greater "Wow!" effect when it first came out.
I'd say Dawn of the Dead (1978) was better than Night of the Living Dead, and is regarded as the zombie flick by which all others are judged. It's the second of Romero's four zombie flicks.
Eveyone is entitled to my opinion.  |
