There’s nothing more disappointing than when your favorite movie has a sequel that lets you down. Sometimes they get it right, though. Personally, I enjoy some sequels better than the first. Some of which are mentioned in this viral AskReddit thread.
From games to movies, fans are sharing sequels that are actually better than the original. See how many of these you agree with.
What sequel is better than the original?
#1
The Dark Knight (2008)
#2
The Empire Strikes Back
#3
Portal 2.
As much as I enjoyed the original, portal 2 + it’s co-op mode/puzzles was amazing. Loved playing through it with my brother.
#4
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

I think this one belongs at the top of the list because it wasn’t just a really good sequel, it actually redefined Star Trek’s entire aesthetic for the next couple of decades and also brought the franchise back from the dead.

Titanfall 2

Titanfall 2 had better pilot mechanics and options. Titanfall 1 had better titans and maps.
Oh, and Titanfall 2 had that level in the middle of the single-player. The greatest level of any game ever.

You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now, my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the roadsides. You will play golf and enjoy hot hors d’oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, “Do not trust the pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller.”

Personally I think it’s Kung Fu Panda 2. The first was no doubt amazing, but Lord Shen exist. The second movie sustained and improved the first movie offered, the score was amazing, the comedy is still funny, but most importantly the drama and emotional pang still hits hard.
overall, amazing trilogy tbh.

Final Destination 2. Yeah, it’s not a good movie exactly but it’s the one with the logging truck on the highway. No one remembers anything from the first one.

Rush Hour 2
