yeah the first one’s good but the second
one’s better
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 best movie sequels number 10 Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade how do you
revive a beloved franchise you add Sean
Connery jr. yes sir
not only did the film offer top-notch
chemistry and laughs but all of the
excitement and adventure was way more in
tune with the original Raiders of the
Lost Ark more Nazis more horrific death
more of Indy’s backstory number 9
spider-man 2 with the lengthy origin
story out of the way Sam Raimi decided
to improve upon his original by offering
a smarter outing complete with a deeper
emotional focus more comedy and better
action most importantly it benefited
from its grown-up themes and
pitch-perfect villain
number eight Mad Max to the road warrior
the second time’s a charm this brutal
sci-fi follow-up was everything the
original should have been it had the
budget and was bigger in every way
yo Cooper run pressure god I not just
more exciting and fiercely intense the
road warrior single-handedly came to
define the post apocalyptic genre you
can honestly skip the first one but this
is really a classic among classics
number seven aliens Ridley Scott’s
original sci-fi horror was a
claustrophobic masterpiece that
introduced audiences to cinemas most
unique and terrifying alien design James
Cameron decided to take the franchise in
a more action-heavy direction by adding
way more aliens and of course Space
Marines unwittingly creating years upon
years of inspiration for pretty much
every science fiction video game ever
we’re looking at you halo number 6 Back
to the Future Part 2 Great Scott another
sequel that was better in every way the
decidedly darker tone of Back to the
Future 2 took the time-travel premise to
its full potential
a story that tracks across three time
periods each with its own specific tone
Back to the Future 2 manages to be
hilarious dazzling and terrifying at all
the right moments the 50s was great
fanservice alternate 1985 was haunting
and gritty and the future was just so
cool I defy you to watch this movie and
not want a hoverboard and those shoes
now releases all right number 5 star
trek to the Wrath of Khan okay fine it
wasn’t too hard to improve upon the
first Star Trek film due in no small
part to its use of bland color palettes
and the endless journey through a screen
saver
that being said Trek 2 is considered to
be the best of the series for a reason
namely that it had the best villain it
also had the perfect pace featured a
gripping space battle dealt with mature
themes and gave fans a deeply emotional
ending interestingly Kirk and Caan never
meet face to face defying the notion
that every great sci-fi movie needs to
end in a fistfight god you’re still
remember
admit I cannot help but be touched
number four the Godfather part to this
sequel managed to outdo its predecessor
to become quite possibly the greatest
gangster movie of all time this is the
result of being a deeply compelling
character study of Michael Corleone a
man whose every action is shown to be
psychologically intense and emotionally
captivating like all the best sequels it
raises the stakes while telling a darker
deeper and in this case much more brutal
tale number three the dark knight
following in the wake of Christopher
Nolan’s mature Batman reboot this
enthralling action sequel managed to
become the series throaty masterpiece a
gripping crime drama that just happened
to feature guys in costumes it was not
only an intelligent and moody romp but
became the definitive superhero movie
it’s hard to imagine a cooler character
than Heath Ledger’s Joker hi number 2
Terminator 2 he did say he would be back
t-to landed as an instant classic the
effects were ahead of the curve the
violence was shocking and brutal and of
course the star was larger than life
basically one amazing chase scene after
another the pace of Terminator 2 was
just as relentless as its antagonist
number one Star Wars Episode five the
Empire Strikes Back taking the top spot
on our list is the darker sequel that
not only had the Empire returned with a
vengeance but improved upon the original
and just about every way moving past the
need to introduce the characters it
featured a much more rapid pace was far
more complex emotional funny and
dazzling to behold it also arguably
features cinema’s greatest twist I agree
with our list what’s your favorite movie
sequel for more great top tens be sure
