Terminator 2 is probably the most obvious one. Does anyone prefer The Terminator?

As much as I love Ridley Scott I think Aliens and Bladerunner 2049 are both superior to the originals. I'm sure there will be plenty of disagreement there.

What are some others?

I have never seen The Godfather 2. I saw the first one in the theater about a year ago and loved it. I should make that a priority.

They're both great movies, but Aliens has Bill Paxton and the Alien doesn't look like a guy in a suit.

Dawn of the Dead, probably
Fury Road, and probably even Mad Max 2
a lot of people would say Dark Knight, but I probably would not say that
Top Gun Maverick, for sureeeeee

Are we only counting the first sequel for the purposes of this thread?
