Sometimes the original isn't always the best. What film and book series had a better installment as time went on.

Mad Max. The Fury Road reboot was infinitely better than any of the Mel Gibson ones.

alien was good, aliens way better

pitch black wasn't bad, chronicles of riddick way better

and we all know the odd numbered star trek films are never as good as the even numbered ones

I flip flop with Alien and Aliens the same way I do with Terminator and Judgement Day. They are both 10/10s but I love them because they are so different.

Oooft I went for Aliens but watched it again the other day and had to downgrade it.

That leaves Empire Strikes Back and Return of the King for me.

The Thing 2011 (prequel) ran the original close.

I disagree about Empire Strikes Back. After the battle of Hoth it's all a bit of an anti climax and the bit about his dad relies on film one to have impact.

Captain America 2. I walked out for the first one so the second is better by default

The thing with Alien and Aliens is that they are very different films in virtually different genres.

Both excellent but for very very different reasons.

Often a sequel flops because it just tries to be the first film but more so. Aliens works (in a similar way that Judgement Day works) by coming at the material from a different angle.

"Captain America 2. I walked out for the first one so the second is better by default"

The Winter Soldier is one of my favourite MCU films. I think it's one of the best ones viewed on its own away from the whole big MCU storyline/timeline shenanigans they have going on.

Predator 2

The nerd in me very much liked the exploration and storyline of the predator/alien creature & it's origins more detail in the 2nd film.

Though predator 1 is good too. Probably Arnold at his best I'd say..

Lion King 2 was better than the original. I will fight, quite literally, some people over this.

The Harry Potter movies got better and better as they went on... Obviously as popularity and therefore their budget grew..

The 1st predator film is a great thriller/action film.

The 2nd one grows on you the more you watch it I find..lots of info to absorb in it.

Yes. I think most people will find the first predator the best one out of all the films made though.
