cars 2. Nothing better than a spy movie where the protagonist is literally a car
The Dark Knight
I can’t think of any. It’s hard to be a better sequel than the greatest action movie of all time is.
If I had to pick, I would say The Empire Strikes Back.
Godfather 2
I don’t think there’s a better movie sequel than Terminator 2. It’s the reason why it’s still an ongoing franchise today.
Would people still watch the first Terminator if it wasn’t for Terminator 2?
I like Terminator 1 a lot more than T2.
It’s much more grim-dark with horror elements. I would even go as far as saying there are subtle cyberpunk motifs in T1. There is also a modicum of character development. Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese) does a great job.
T2 feels more like a teen’s summer action movie in comparison. It lacks that edge and is overly sentimental.
I will note that growing up I liked T2 a lot more than T1.
The first one is still a great movie. It’s biggest hindrance is the low quality stop frame animation when Arnold is just the skeleton. I wish they would re-release it with the fan made improvements to the stop motion that have been done.
Bending the rules a bit here. I know it is not a true sequel, but it’s part of a trilogy. Hot Fuzz is better than Shaun of the Dead. Also, except for the second film, I think the Mission Impossible series just gets better with every entry.

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree here.
For a while, Mission Impossible kept getting better, but Dead Reckoning was absolute dog water and it killed all my interest in the franchise forever.
Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, and Blade Runner 2049 would be my picks.
This is 40 as sequel to knocked up.
Mad max 1 was a revenge cop story nobody watched outside Australia
Mad max 2 was the apocalyptic Mad max everybody know
Technically a prequel, Mike Flannigan’s Ouija: Origin of Evil far exceeds the original by every measure.
I was going to say terminator3 but then I realized you were serious.
I’ll have to say Escape from L.A. It is not usually mentioned and I think it is better than the first part
Empire Strikes Back.
And if you’re into “it’s so bad it wraps around and becomes hilarious” films, Troll 2.
Shrek 2
Leprechaun 4?
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.
