I haven't seen Blade II yet, but I've heard it's got a better story that the original. Can anyone confirm for me?

Aliens didn't hold a candle to Alien. Alien broke the mold and was an incredible flick. Aliens just capitalized on that. I mean...it had Bill Paxton in it...c'mon

And Die Hard 2? That BLEW! BLECH!

Die Hard 3 was, imo, better than the original, though.


But the best sequel is Empire Strikes Back...awesome!

And Wrath of Khan compared to the 1st Star Trek movie? NO comparison...it ROCKED!

Rocky IV is the best in the Rocky series. That movie kicks ass.

Mad Max was a cool movie and the Road Warrior was a huge improvement ... then there was Thunderdome

What in the world were they thinking.

SW Episode III should be better than all the previous parts.

At least, it cannot possibly get any worse, can it?

Superman II.

IIRC, "Mad Max"(1979) was released in the U.S. AFTER "The Road Warrior,"(1981) although it is the first in the series. They also dubbed over Mel Gibson's voice to give him a western cowboy accent.

lethal weapon 4
Well the first 1 (Gibson played the suicidal loose cannon maverick cop Martin Riggs character very convincing) and last are the best ones. 2 and 3 were good also but the fight scenes in 4 are really good and thus supasses the 2 and 3.
