What is the best movie sequel ever??

Taken 3

The Raid 2

I liked Terminator 2 and the 2 already mentioned - Godfather 2 and Bad Boys 2. I would like to see a sequel for The Professional.

The Raid was a very good action movie. The Raid 2 was one of the best action movies I have ever seen but probably the most violent movie I have seen and I have seen some doozies.

Obviously Godfather 2

I thought Roots 2 was great.

I really loved Tu 2

That's weird. I thought Godfather was far superior to Godfather 2.

I'd vote for T2.

Ok...the joke was funny the first time...not so much now.

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalo

Rush Hour 2

Now, I have met and am aware of internet mass opinion against those movies. But I enjoyed them outright and found their originals to pale by comparison. The original Rush Hour is awkward, too heavy like a poorly arranged dinner, etc. The second is loose, adventurous, exciting, fun, flows right. A tight, moving script. Moving locations, etc.

The original Deuce Bigalow had memorable snippets and becomes more fun when you sample the audio and enjoy it apart from the movie. But, same thing, although not as exacerbated... by being the introduction of the premise, it had to bear the brunt of a bit of awkwardness and heaviness. It came at the tail-end of a time of similarly awkward college humor/crazy humor movies: Me, Myself and Irene (good), American Pie, Road Trip, Freddy Got Fingered, etc. I can't remember if it took me a second viewing to enjoy it. I remember the first time I watched it, I was stoned with a friend so I guess I couldn't appreciate it and alternated between random euphoria and randomly finding it depressing. But on objective viewings, I found it loose, adventurous, exciting, fun, feel good, unpretentious. I'd been to Europe many times as a kid, including four times to Amsterdam. This sense of travel also might have been what made both sequels appeal to me.

Years later, I sampled video clips of the movie. An indication of the tightness and depth of a script and a movie is whether you can cut it up and do multiple things with it. I'm still planning on making a music video of "The Tubes - She's a Beauty" with clips from the movie. It was fv King awesome. (Don't you dare steal my idea. you ain't got the editing skills) Eddie Griffin at his best, in stand up or other movies, is just right--feel good, multicultural, flexible... beyond a seeming veneer of typecasting that is actually playful. When him and Deuce are on the ceiling and one of them farts... aha. Yes, that clip, part of the music video.

Good Question:

There's not a whole lot to pick from up, but a few come to mind...

Godfather II - for story & cinematography. Easy to watch apart from the original and it still makes sense.

Rocky II - better than the original, should have ended it right here.

Die Hard III - more fun than the first.

Evil Dead II - (ok, not a true sequel, but still a better movie).

Friday the 13th pt II - Jason Voorhees finally shows up, creates a lasting legacy.

Star Wars Episode 5: Empire Strikes Back - so dark, ends on a downer; kind of like life.

The Dark Knight - If you see only one non-Keaton Batman movie, this is it.

Aliens - best of the series

Really? You're picking Jackie Gleason and Dan Akroyd over Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray?

WTF is wrong with you?

(unless you're trolling, then well-played).

The Raid 2 is amazing
