T2 for me, and who the hell voted for Meet the Fockers? :lol:

Your sisters? ;) Personally Godfather 2 was best though Empire Strikes Back is a very good sequel.

1) :o

2) Was it really a happy ending? The Bat taking the blame for Harvey Dent and going into exile with the entire city believing him to be a criminal / hunting him?


Zippy means she likes happy endings ;)

She'd not like Brazil then, that's for sure.

I love a happy ending, who doesn't? But it's been a while since I've been to that kind of place...

I did prefer Return of the Jedi to the Empire, but that's purely for the space battle near the end of the film.

What about Die Hard 2? Isn't that a cracking sequel?

I haven't clicked the link in the O.P. yet, so it may well have been mentioned.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Somehow, and this is only an indictment of me, I had to read your post three times before it made sense :oops:

It's no surprise. Most sequels are pants.
The only good ones I can think of are:
The Empire Strikes Back
LOTR: The Two Towers

I would not consider the LOTR as sequels. I would have thought that considering that they were all made at the same time or contiguously that they could be considered a single film broken up into three parts like Kill Bill was one film in two parts.

The Fly 2 was a good sequel as well. Then the Bourne films were good sequels.

A good sequel that springs to mind for me is Back to the Future.

The second one was just as good IMO as the first.

The third was pretty good as well. Not quite as good as the first two.
