T2 is better than T1
Aliens is better than Alien
Jaws 2 is better than Jaws

Sequels are nearly always better

How so?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:16, Reply)

Aliens > Alien I'll give you, but it's a close run thing
Terminator I disagree with, but again, very close
Jaws 2 Jaws = you haven't seen either film

Tbh, I prefer T2 for a few reasons
1) Arnie is a shit bad guy in comparison to Robert Patrick
2) Hardcore Linda Hamilton is far better than screaming Linda Hamilton
3) The graphics are incredible.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:22, Reply)

The difference is, the first one is bloody scary
I wholeheartedly disagree about Arnie, one of the best matches of actor to character I've ever seen.

The best for that is probably Anthony Hopkins to Hannibal Lecter
Or maybe Samuel L Jackson for Jules Winnfield.

And I think it might be due to the fact I didn't see the first until after the second.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:28, Reply)

The 7-year gap between the making of the two films
certainly makes the original's graphics look shit if you watch the sequel first.

Good shout with the Lecter, btw

Danke
I am of the opinion that no-one could portray that character any better.

Then again, whilst it's in a completely different genre, I think Hugh Jackman is pretty much perfect as Logan.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:36, Reply)

Agreed
and that was a genius piece of leftfield casting. Australian song-and-dance man as Wolverine? Fuck. Off. And yet it worked perfectly. See also; RDJ as Tony Stark.

RDJ is fucking superb as Iron Man
My friend hates him for no apparent reason, and as such, thinks Iron Man is shit. He's not the brightest.

I like you, Nakers, genuinely I do, but that was a ludicrously daft thing to say.

I've just read your "Die Hard 4 yeah?" post down below and am now more convinced than ever that this is a wind-up
Either that or you were Quentin all along
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:30, Reply)

This is wrong
In fact Aliens is my least favourite of the 3, yes 3, not 4, 3.

Aliens lacked the suspense and horror of the other 2.

I have this sequels argument a lot. The ones that appear better like T2 and Godfather 2 are nothing without the original films. Plus terminator is way better than T2, I'd rather have a screaming Linda Hamilton than a whiney little bitch John Conner
( Peej, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:35, Reply)

You are correct. There are only 3 Alien films.
And whilst it's an exceptionally strong trilogy, 3 is the weakest, for me. Great idea to take a totally different direction again, but it ended up something of a mess.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:41, Reply)

Aliens had no involvement from H.R. Giger
it shows
( Peej, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:51, Reply)

Also
Mad Max 2
Evil Dead 2
Godfather 2
Silence of the Lambs
the dark knight

Sequels = better
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:19, Reply)

I prefer Red Dragon to Silence Of The Lambs

I just can't fucking stand Jodie Foster.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:23, Reply)

Good examples all
Except Silence of the Lambs can hardly be considered a direct sequel to Manhunter, sharing no common aspects save source material.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:21, Reply)

And the film that was later taken from the same source material is far better than the original.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:23, Reply)

To argue against this
Pirates Of The Carribean, The Matrix, Predator, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Omen, and several others.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:19, Reply)

i liked the Matrix sequels

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:19, Reply)

In comparison to the first one though?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:20, Reply)

yes, more bad guys, bigger fights etc etc
what's not to like?
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 16:22, Reply)

A single Agent Smith is far better than the 5,000,000+ of him there were.
Worse CGI, worse plotlines, more annoying characters.
