    I find this to be very rare but happened to watch three excellent sequels this week:
    Terminator 2 (by far the best in the series)
    Blade Trinity
    Army of Darkness

    Any others?

    Shut your mouth.. T1 is the best one.

    Says you and maybe 3 other people in the world lol

    There is so much more going on and you get the whole romantic aspect. It is genius. And the moment he realizes that he is (will be) John Connar's father.... awesome.

    Arnold made the best bad guy. He was turned into a joke in the 2nd one.

    Yeah, Evil Dead II is better than Army of Darkness.
    Definitely Terminator 2 though, and James Cameron didn't do badly with Aliens either, though I'm not sure if I would say it's better than Alien.
    The Dark Knight.
    Toy Story 3 perhaps.
    Each film in the Before Sunrise trilogy was slightly better than the last, although you have to watch all three in order anyway.
    The Bourne Ultimatum.
    Mad Max 2.

    Personally like Evil Dead 2 more than Army of Darkness

    Werd. AoD is the "classic" but ED2 was actually the better movie. It was a good combination between a legit horror movie and a campy, comedic attempt. AoD was all cheese by comparison. They are both great but for different reasons. Even the original is awesome, but for completely different reasons.

    Nah, they're both about equal in terms of how good they were. They are quite different in terms of what they were trying to get across though, so most people will probably enjoy one of them more than the other depending on their personal taste.

    Resident Evil had sequels better then first part (actually better story line for a zombie movie)
    LOTR part 2 by far the best for me
    Batman Dark Knight (technically a sequel in the batman series if you count the one with The Pinguin as 1)

    And i am sure that if i go think for an hour i could come up with a lot more other then some already mentioned

    I wouldn't class the LOTR series (or Star Wars trilogies for that matter) as sequels, as it is all one story broken up into chunks. You can't really watch them as stand alone movies as you could with most other sequels, it would be like saying chapter 2 of a book is a sequel to chapter 1. But I guess this could be debated either way.
    The Dark Knight (2008) was a sequel to Batman Begins (2005). The Batman film with the Penguin in was Batman Returns (1992), which was a sequel to Batman (1989). In the case of the latter two films, the sequel was not as good as the first.

    Yea it's a matter of opinion on the LOTR, Starwars movies, Harry Potter movies etc...
    For Batman i was so wrong... thanks fro correcting me sir

    No worries.
    I would say that the Harry Potter films are all sequels, apart from Deathly Hallows Part 2 which isn't a sequel to Part 1, although the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2 together are a sequel to the other Harry Potter films.

    Batman Dark Knight was better than Batman Begins.
    All Harry Potter films are better than the first one.
    Sequel Lord of the Rings films are better than the first, especially Return of the King.
    Preferred the second Fast and Furious to the first...
    Catching Fire is better than Hunger Games in my opinion....

    I can't think of anymore!!

    Just mentioning these that i don't think were mentioned yet.

    "Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan" is infinitely better than "Star Trek: The Motion Picture". In general you can follow the rule: Star Trek(even number) > Star Trek(even number - 1)

    Superman II
