What are some sequels that are even better than the originals? ATM all I can think of are Terminator 2 and arguably Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back.
Can't agree with that. Get rid of Sam Neill and make fucken Jeff Goldblum the main character, and Vince Vaughn one of the sidekicks. Jurassic Park 1 is awesome though.
Another 2 great examples. Though Godfather 2 is definitely very arguable, I actually preferred the first. Can't agree with the Die Hard series though, Die Hard 1 was the best IMO. Fucking Hans Gruber.
Die Hard 1 is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest. Yeah, Die Hard 3 was super gay. Die Hard was a masterpeice.
This. Though Alien is still good in it's own right, and Aliens is really a different genre altogether.
Yeah there are other great sequels but when you take into account how Aliens changed the genre entirely and still made it work, it's just easily #1 in my books.
