Sequels that DON'T disappoint

Godfather II

Godfather 2 is the thread winner. I shouldn't have missed that one.

Thor 2

I thought the 2nd Matrix was good.

 

[CYCLNST8]

So far I totally agree with Dark Knight, Wrath of Kahn, & Aliens. Thank you! Knew I was forgetting a few gems. Keep them coming!

The second Raiders of the Lost arch was not good. The third one was great though. The one with Sean Connery.

All of them based in St Louis, I imagine?

 

[RyCy04]

Avatar was a great sequel to Fern Gully.

 

[wolverine68]

X-Men II
Toy Story II and III

Comics and Cartoons!

I think you are right about T2 and WW 2. But Major League 2 was awful compared to 1, since they went from an R-rated comedy to PG or PG-13 for the 2nd one. Ghostbusters 2 was really weak in comparison, though I guess it is watchable.

This can destroy remakes or sequels! An attempt to "remake" the original Vacation was in the works recently but supposedly the writers quit working on it when the studio wanted it to be a family comedy and not be rated R. Guess there is more money in the PG world than the R world? Not sure?

Supposedly Rusty (going to be played by Ed Helms) was going to redo the trip from Chicago to Wally World for his own children...

What about Police Academy 7? (aren't they actually working on another sequel?)

I'm going to add Superman II with Christopher Reeves & General Zod to my list.

Godfather 2, Empire Strikes Back, T2

Not better than the first, but Shrek 2 was pretty decent. Drastic freefall after that one, though.

A few minutes of Clerks II

 

[CYCLNST8]

Ah, yes: Christmas Vacation. Can't forget that one. Gonna add Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Thought it was fantastic. I was neutral on the first three.

 

[GWad]

Christmas Vacation, Godfather 2

 

[Gnomeborg]

Also, the Fourth Musketeer.

 

[PabloDiablo]

X-Men II
Toy Story II and III

Best X-men movie overall, IMO. Also agree on Hellboy 2, Last Crusade and Empire Strikes Back.
