I'm honestly curious as to anyones attempt at proving me wrong. Find a film where you (and maybe me) think that part one of a film duology or trilogy or whatever is shit, whereas the sequal is amazing.

kickass

I can think of loads of movies where the first film is ok but the sequel is much better but not where the first is particularly bad. It's mostly franchises that are big enough they were always going to get a sequel.

I can also think of edgy opinions of mine on films like, Star Wars is bad, Empire Strikes Back is much better but is still bad.

Exactly. I don't run my mouth about Star Wars because it's like a religion to people, but 5 is clearly a better movie than 4... but was it trash? idk.

I thought X-Men was trash but I've heard Logan is good. Does that count? I can think of a lot of sequels that were at least as good as the first movie: Aliens, Terminator, Batman Returns... erm... Before Sunset. Ok, I can think of 4. There are a decent amount of remakes that are a lot better than the originals. The Thing, The Fly, Dawn of the Dead, The Crazies, The Grudge, The Ring, Desperado.

Desperado is a sequel! Got it. Dur ya go. El Mariachi was trash, Desperado was great. EZ game, EZ life.

Me and a friend were going through the IMDB top 100 yesterday and found it insane that Logan is in the top 100. It's nothing more than a decent action flick.

My thoughts from when I actually watched it.

Logan - I don't really remember the other films all that well, nor the x-men ones but what stood out the most was that it was surprisingly brutal. Claws going though peoples heads, limbs being hacked off. It's basically a family road trip, decent enough. It's too long, some parts are a bit forced but overall it's pretty good.

They are too of their time, aged terribly. If you were to show someone Star Wars with no knowledge of it they wouldn't be impressed.
