Don't forget about The Dark Knight- vast improvement on Batman Begins (even though it didn't have Liam Neeson in it......Oh well.....)
I think Star Wars: The Empire strikes back improved on Star Wars. TESP explained the Force, the Rebellion, the Empire, Darth Vader, the Emperor and pretty much all of the Star Wars universe much more then the original. It helped me understand the first movie and the Star Wars universe much better.
Definitely. A New Hope is great, but it's definitely a bit on the "quaint" side of things. Also, George Lucas didn't direct the two sequels, which accounts for them being better films, as well as why the prequel trilogy blows.Fire Daemon post=18.73744.806810 said:
i think prince of persia: warrior within improved on sands of time, it had waaay better combat and some new acrobatics.
The Matrix Revolutions.
Seriously: Back to the Future Part II, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Knight and Terminator 2 were all awesome sequels that bettered the original, in my opinion.

Firstly, Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando was so much better than the first. New weapons, gadgets and abilites, and still fun as hell.
Oh and the Dark Knight. Took everything awesome about Batman and multiplied it a thousand times.

I'm quite surprised that everyone is saying Dark Knight. Don't get me wrong I loved the film, but I still preferred the first one simply because the story was really clever. It made Batman seem like a realistic idea (albeit a really far-fetched one), but the Dark Knight kinda took some of that realism away
Let's see, what hasn't been said yet?
For movies, a sequel that beats out the original is a very rare breed of animal. For games, it's a bit more common, but I'm pretty sure that's not what this thread is about.
First off, Evil Dead 2. And shame on all of you for not saying it yet. After that...
- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
- Wrath of Khan
- Mad Max 2
- Dawn of the Dead
- A Shot in the Dark
That's about it for me.

Actually, if you count "Within the Woods", Army of Darkness would be Evil Dead 4.MStrauss post=18.73744.807133 said:
And Evil Dead 2 is generally regarded as the best of the series. Individual mileage may vary.
