Rogue One, which was both a prequel and a sequel, but much better than almost all of the Star Wars movies that preceded it (the one possible exception being Empire Strikes Back).

I know we've had these threads before, but here is my list of sequels that are clearly better than the first

Indiana Jones? Last two excepted, of course.

gangbusters

I think they could be argued but not clearly better imo

Raiders is way better than the others.

Last Crusade comes close to matching Raiders, but Temple of Doom isn’t in the

I’d add Spider-Man 2 (2004) to the list.

I forgot Spider-Man 2. But I just hate Kirsten Dunst in pretty much anything so

Godzilla Minus One > Oppenheimer

This sparks a serious q. Is Letters from Iwo Jima eligible for this list?

Rocky IV is the best dumb movie ever made. It’s not the best in the franchise

I'll still go back to that every time over every other movie in the franchise. Don't care what my critic

CSoul

Don’t get me wrong, I love it and it’s a fun movie. But R1 is a drama, R4 is

The Pope

Yeah, Rocky is clearly an Oscar worthy movie and IV is a superhero movie.

It depends on what your definition of better is. If better means a movie you would watch more often it's Rocky IV for me

CSoul

Mar 12, 1:56pm

I guess. But given the choice I'd watch Rocky. Much better movie along

777

Mar 12, 2:19pm

It’s not even close.

Not a bad list. I could quibble with rocky 4, but the one I probably disagree

Toy Story 2, yes. 3, no.

Logan is better than either Wolverine movie

Agree about FOTR

Disagree on Bourne. Original and Supremacy are about equal. Ultimatum was a significant step down.

I think I enjoyed Dune 2 better than part 1
