I'm guessing you don't mean "film better than T2 that also happens to be a sequel," but rather "sequel that is better than the first film by an amount greater than T2 was over T1."

I haven't seen T1 in a while, so I'm not sure how it would hold up. I want to say it was like a 7/10? And T2 a 10/10?

So, is there a sequel that is more than 3/10 better than the first film?

Inside Out and Bladerunner are both better than 7/10 in the first place, thus their sequels cannot be the answer regardless of how you would rate them.

I've never seen the Twilight films, but wasn't the 2nd one said to be a huge upgrade over the 1st?

Same with Shrek. I never made it through the 1st one, it was so bad.

Is slightly better than IV but can't touch II. Terence Stamp's Zod is one of the great superhero movie villains.

I’ll give you Zod was a cool villain. But personally Richard Pryor makes lll for me, plus I had it on video as a kid, recorded off tv & must of watched it repeatedly. There was so much cool tech in lll (for the 80s) that I think it may have even influenced me to get into programming in later life, so it’ll always have a soft spot in my retro film collection 🍿

The Two Towers?

I won't go so far as to say this is better than Terminator 2, but Gremlins 2 is such a great sequel. Some people are turned off by the zaniness, but I love how it's basically a parody of unnecessary sequels and that they just swung for the fences with it.

Technically a prequel, Mike Flannigan’s Ouija: Origin of Evil far exceeds the original by every measure.

Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, and Blade Runner 2049 would be my picks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think so, no.

I may say unlike the movies, Terminator Zero Series is very good!. It is animated, but story telling is sooo good there.
