Top 10 Best Movie Sequels - Part 2

Apr 26, 2007

It's generally accepted that sequels are never as good as the original, but that's not always the case. We've dug up some of the greatest sequels of all time!

#5. Best Movie Sequels - Toy Story 2

Toy Story 2 is widely agreed to be a better flick than the original; it keeps all of the good stuff from the first movie - characters, voice actors like Tom Hanks and Tim Allen - and mixes it up with cool new music, cutting edge animation, and wildly creative story lines. It's an instant-classic that not only you will love, but one day your grandkids will too.

#4. Best Movie Sequels - LOTR: Return of the King

The third and final installment in the Lord of the Rings trilogy is filled with intrigue, romance, battles and a creepy little dude who could seriously use a spa day. It is considered to be among the greatest films ever made, especially by fantasy buffs, and won all 11 Academy Awards it was nominated for in 2004.

#3. Best Movie Sequels - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third installment in the Harry Potter series, and the only one to be directed by Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón, who brought a new level of darkness to the series. The movie was heralded by many critics as being the first Harry Potter movie to truly capture the spirit of the books.

#2. Best Movie Sequels - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Indiana Jones returns to the big screen in adventure to save his father - and the Holy Grail - from the clutches of the Nazis. This action-packed Oscar-winner will keep you on the edge of your seat like few movies can! We're stoked to find out if the next Indiana Jones (featuring Shia LeBeouf) can live up to the legacy.

#1. Best Movie Sequels - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is one of the most beloved movies of all time. Long before the prequels and the pre-prequels of modern times, this 1980 hit stunned audiences with the biggest plot twist ever - "Luke, I am your father"!!! That one line alone earns this flick its title as King of the Sequels.
