Do u think that sequels are usually better than the original movie or a letdown?

I liked Rush Hour better than Rush Hour 2
But then I liked the Lion King 2 better than the first

Plus a whole heap of other movies in between :)

Anyone have any ideas? And has anyone seen Final Destination 2 yet?

Most sequals are worse than the original
there are exceptions...like Terminator 2, and Empire Strikes Back

The Empire Strikes Back wasn't a sequel, as it was a planned trilogy rather than a movie with a potential sequel.

I hate sequels, except for the Mummy Returns, which was a brilliant movie.

And Lucus had slightly planned for a trilogy prequel before that! (How much dough is he going to make?)

I agree that the sequels are usually not as good or enjoyable as the first! :)

Its May 15 and November 7- mid hsc. *sigh*

I hope they don't make crap sequels. The Matrix was so excellent, they better not ruin it.

Still, has anyone seen the two trailers online - they look pretty cool. :cool: Here's hoping it lives up to that.

I don't agree.. I think the first Y&D was the best one. Probably cos Ekin Cheng was crying in it.. *sigh* damn he's hot

if u want crap sequels look at the trailor for terminator 3. "shell be back", unfortunately. Godfather 2 is considered one of the best sequels. recently i saw analyse that...dont get me started on that one. that was rock bottom for de niro.
