I can honestly say, I liked "Die Hard With a Vengeance" better than "Die hard" That movie was non-stop action from the beginning to the end.

Yikes, not even close.

The action and villian and setting made the original Die Hard the best of them all.

There aren't many villians past 1988 that can hold a candle to Hans Gruber.


Anyway, I think that The Empire Strikes Back is a better film than Star Wars, though nothing can compare to seeing SW for the first time in theater.

The only thing close, actually, was seeing TESB in the theater for the first time.

Addams Family Values was much funnier than the first Addams Family, and that's entirely due to Joan Cusack :)

Grease 2.
And I'm probably the only person in the world who would say that.

I also really liked the Psycho sequels a lot.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze - I admit, I missed Casey Jones, though, as well as the first April. But I ended up liking the new April and Casey's replacement, Keno.

Batman Returns - Though in the long hall, I think the first one is the best, it's always been easier for me to watch "Returns" again and again. The first one can be kind of boring in certain areas. I've always loved this movie and it ticks me off that Warner Bros wasn't happy with it and switched directors for the next movie, killing the franchise (well to me anyways).

Spider-Man 2 - I love the Doc Ock character. When I first heard they were doing a Spider-Man movie, I thought it was a no brainer, the villain should be Dr. Octopus. When they went with Green Goblin, I was really ticked off. The first one ended up being great, but I'm still glad Doc Ock got his movie, too. Plus, the sequel doesn't have to go through the origins of Spider-Man. They can get right into the story.


Just a note: I don't like My Girl 2 more than the original, however, I really do like it. And I tend to watch it more than I do the original. But I think the first one's a classic.

I do too. Part III is my favorite of them all, though.

I agree. I did like the first one, but the sequel was much funnier and had a far better storyline.

My other choice would be Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Loved it so much more than the original.

Sorry to bump up this one year and a half old thread, but I just remembered I liked "Pet Semetary II" better than the first.

I can't think of any that I liked better than the original, but here are some that I liked just as much...

Grease 2 (this would have done so much better if it hadn't been titled "Grease 2" because everyone was comparing it to the original.)
Father of the Bride Part 2
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
The Empire Strikes Back (my favorite of the three... I mean six!)
Back to the Future Part 2 (Actually I did like this one better than the first one. I loved how they showed the future and the past. That Cafe 80's about killed me! Sad that 80's stuff is considered nostalgic now!)
Superman 2-I haven't seen these in so long. I'm reading a book about Christopher and Dana Reeve right now so I think I'm going add these to my Netflix list.

I love all the Saw Movies....but thought Saw 2 was way better than the first one.
