Personally I tend to avoid most sequels (says a guy who bought his nieces Shrek 3 for xmas which they are putting on now) but sometimes, rarely (Aliens comes to mind) the sequel is superior.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Reese Witherspoon's original turn as a ditzy blonde who takes the law profession by storm is funny, charming and empowering to women. The sequel, in which she goes looking for her pet Chihuahua's birth mother (seriously!), is none of those things. Even the Taco Bell dog no quiero.

Caddyshack II and Rocky V never happened.

rarely (Aliens comes to mind) the sequel is superior.

I almost don't consider Aliens to be a sequel of Alien because they are such different movies. Alien was a horror movie in space with Riddley Scott directing, while Aliens was a science fiction action movie with James Cameron directing. They are like two different movies that happen to share the same universe. If that makes any sense.

I know what you mean though whether that makes sense to anyone besides you and me is a whole different ball of wax.

I have a better one: Evil Dead 2 was much better than the original Evil Dead.

Matrix Revolution

'The Matrix' took the action movie genre to a whole new level, combining cutting-edge effects with what -- at the time -- seemed like an intelligent story. Alas, the final flick in the trilogy was an overly long and tedious exercise in futility that proved the Brothers Wachowski were talking out of their butts all along.

Don't agree at all. I thought Revolution's ending was an excellent way to tie up the series. The Wachowski's weren't talking out of their butts -- this reviewer just wasn't paying enough attention.
