Yes, they are but so are the first films.

IDK, I dont think I have a list I dont often see movies that have sequels except the stuff I liked as a kid like Star Wars and Alien and stuff. And I often dont find sequels to surpass their originals except in special circumstances, like how Empire had much more Vader than the original, and of course Billy Dee Williams, which made it an instant classic with all the kids in the hood.

Aliens! That's one I meant to mention earlier. It's like with the Terminator movies; the sequel is a big brash movie, but that complements the earlier one rather than trying to steal its thunder.

I saw Aliens first, and I was like nine. It was the most awesome thing ever! I didnt see Alien until I was in my 20s and they was like 2 completely unconnected films with one character in common but both amazing and fantastic in their own way. No one does screaming in 70s horror like Veronica Cartwright.

All this and I hate James Cameron but boy do I love some of his sequels.

Yeah, definitely, but generally those two sequels are heralded as better than the first films.

That doesn't mean it's right, though. Obviously the first ones speak to a lot of people more.

So agreed on Empire, though!

I'm not a DeNiro fan so I didnt really care for Godfather Part 2, and honestly I dont even remember the plot of Toy Story 2, the first one was so magical, new, and amazing and the 3rd one is so fabulous, I honestly have no idea what happened in the second one.
