Movies that the sequel was better than the original...

After some more conversation, the opinion at my job is that some of the Star Trek's were better than the original, but it's been 15 years since I watched them.

Any trekkies want to voice an opinion?

The only one anyone's mentioned that I agree with is Aliens > Alien. Spiderman 2 I guess had to be better than Spiderman but that's just because Spiderman blew so hard that it would be impossible to make a suckier sequel, they clearly used up all of their suck in making the first one.

Yeah, Wrath of Khan was the best.

A lot of people just didn't like the first movie at all, but I did.

Missing in Action II was better than I

Some of the Dirty Harry follow ups top the original - Sudden Impact for a couple of great scenes.

No way is Mad Max II better than the original , in the same vein that the original Rocky and Terminator movies are better than the follow-ups. In all these examples the orignals were grittier movies and the sequels could never stand on their own. Godfather II is an exception - it easily stands alone as a great movie.
