Have you ever found a sequel that is actually BETTER than the original movie or book?

The Lord of the Rings series of movies gets better in my opinion. I haven't read the books so I can't comment on those.

Sister Act 2 is better than Sister Act 1 if you ask me. Lauryn Hill might have something to do with that...

I think people like Sister Act 2 better because it's more youth centered, but I have to say I like the first one better (best scene is the pope rocking out to their singing)

the 'scary movie' trilogy got worse and worse. I don't remember much about "i know what you did last summer" or the "scream" series, but I think I liked the first movie more than the rest.

the Bourne movies went from "awesome" to "awesomer"  However, I haven't read the books, so I can't comment on those. |

I liked the James Bond movies, up til the last one and this newer one that's about to come out. I don't care how "sexy" Daniel Craig is--he cannot be Bond. I went to see Casino Royale and couldn't enjoy it because it was so unlike all of the other Bond movies, in style and in the actor who played Bond. I'm not sure if Quantum of Solace will be a movie I'll see or not...

Well, I´m still mourning the Roger Moore as Bond days! I preferred the lost world to Jurassic Park |

I'm not sure if Quantum of Solace will be a movie I'll see or not... It was so different because Casino Royale was the first novel in the series by Ian Fleming. It's more about how Bond became who he was, and less about being the Bond we know and love. |
