The Toymaker Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Is it? You're pretty alone on that. What about it bugs you?I don't mind being alone on that. It's boring. For a horror/thriller, it's not very scary or thrilling. Aliens is an action/thriller, and it does it's job well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedarpoint1111 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 COTBP ( is fun, but the story is kinda meh.DMC (A+) is the perfect blockbuster. I put DMC among the five best movies I've watchedDisagree, the first was the best one. Every sequel in this franchise has gotten worse.

Cmasterclay Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I think the entire mediocre Fast and the Furious series until the very, very entertaining Fast Five counts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatMovieGuy Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Desperado was a good sequel to a not so great movie, El Mariachi.Dislike, sorry for picking on you...I know this isin't a first movie but Huge improvements from x3 to X-men first Class.Have not seen The Evil Dead 2 But heard it was better then the original.Bad Boys 2 Definatly Brought up the action and the story, not a great movie, far from it, but still I remember watching this the first time and being entertained can't say the same if I watched it again, so il keep that one of the shelf.Hellboy 2 was a very slight inprovment, I still Enjoy Hellboy Alot!Hostel 2 maybe, there are some great scenes in both it's hard to determine which one I liked more. But those girls turn me on!oh and btw as far as the Fast and Furious Films go My Favourite is definitely the first! they seem to get worse as they keep going on, except tokyo drift that was really bad. Five also might be a bit better then four, maybe, I don't have the time to waste watching them again.The rest has been said already.

The Toymaker Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 There are tons of movies that have better sequels than the first movie, but to find a franchise that has its first movie being "bad" and the subsequent chapters after it being "good" is incredibly hard because if the first movie is bad, more often than not, a second will not be greenlit. I can only think of a few: Alien then Aliens El Mariachi then Desperado Spider-Man then Spider-Man 2 Taxi then Taxi 3 These ones are close to having a "bad" movie first (more just a so-so movie), but definitely have far-improved sequels: Spy Kids then Spy Kids 3D: Gameover The Evil Dead then Evil Dead II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhorse Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Alien is a bad movie.It is, I have watched it a few times now, and it is just horrible compared to Aliens. I also think Terminator is very cheesy and has a B movie quality about it. It's sequel is a vast improvement.Others, Empire Strikes Back to A New Hope (never did like ANH, I thought the acting in it was dreadful, and the story was just too cheesy, the second installment was far better. But, I still think Mark Hamil was terrible in all three movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 High School Musical 3 :DI suppose the closest I can think of (which will probably get roundly disagreed with) is Eurotrip > Road Trip + Boat Trip.Really hated Road trip but for some unknown reason found something really enjoyable about Eurotrip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Alien is slightly, slightly better than Aliens IMO. The Director's Cut of Alien makes it even better and even changes the "look" of the film quite a bit. But both are among the best films ever made so I think mentioning them in this thread is pretty silly IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hostel 3. I watched it the other day simply because it was on t.v and I must say, as low budget as it is, despite some terrible acting its actually much smarter than the other two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxmoser3 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Carnosaur 2 & 3 over Carnosaur 1. 2 is a lot of fun, and 3 is decent. But one isn't horrible but kinda sucked. Leprechaun 2 over Leprechaun, still not good but more watchable & enjoyable than the first. The rest well are everywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
