Getting a sequel to a hit movie right can be a tricky process. Do it right, and you’re best picture winner “The Godfather Part II.” Do it wrong and well, hello “Space Jam: Legacy.” But as sequels and remakes have come to dominate movie theaters, it’s clear that making a successful sequel means more than just slapping a “2” on a beloved property — it takes a good script, hopefully many of the original actors and just maybe, a few new twists on the material.

It’s no coincidence that much of this list comes from the past 30 years – previous to that, sequels weren’t as ubiquitous on movie screens. However, don’t sleep on some of the more vintage titles like “Pink Panther” sequel “A Shot in the Dark,” comedy classic “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” or the oldest entry, “The Bride of Frankstein.

Batman Returns and Ocean's 12 sucked

Awesome

Dunno if I'd call FIRE WALK WITH ME a sequel but I was pleased to see BATMAN RETURNS, NEW NIGHTMARE, and GREMLINS 2 on here. I'd like A VERY BRADY SEQUEL to get its due, though.

Wrong photo

TASM 2 picture is used instead of Spider-Man 2. That's blasphemous

Couldn’t stand the Penguin.

Blade 2 John Wick 2...X Mission Impossible 2...X Back to the Future 2...X The Dark Knight +1 The Bourne Films incl. Legacy Carl Craig's 007 Films Lethal Weapon Films Die Hard Films (5th was not so good, but action is top) ...and many many more good sequels.

No. Just, no.

Ski School 2

Batman Returns was bleak and depressing, and was certainly not as good/successful as the 1989 Batman film. People forget that the Penguin was thought of as repulsive and overdone at the time and made people hate the film, though I very much enjoyed it in the theater as a kid.

Best Batman movie is Mask of the Phantasm

It's blasphemy that Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight is left out of this. That movie should easily deserved an Oscar nomination

Yeah.....this list isn't great. One reason being because whoever prepared the Spider-man 2 section used a still from Amazing Spider-man 2 instead of Spider-man 2. Fail

Where's Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades, or The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (sequel to Fist Full of Dollars)?

Top 5 sequels of all time The Godfather Part II The Empire Strikes Back Aliens Terminator 2: Judgment Day The Dark Knight

Batman Returns was good as a sequel, but to not mention The Dark Knight as the greatest Batman movie is sacrilegious.

Addams Family Values belongs on the list and at the top.

👏🔥

Godfather 2 was the best movie ever and therefore it’s automatically the best sequel also 😎

Jedi was a better sequel and much much darker than Empire

No Shrek 2, so the whole list is invalid

Have you seen...

The fact you have Incredibles 2 here makes this list completely invalid. Massive L from Variety.

This graphic is solid! The juxtaposition of Paddy and Michael... 😂 I do believe he staring down the Godfather while Batman keeps watch over the situation. That little bear will cut ya if you cross him.
