Empire Strikes Back Named Best Sequel Ever!

Interesting stuff.... I would have expected the Dark knight

i remember going to the cinema in uckfeild to watch that as a kid with my dad

What were the factors for this poll? I only ask because I don't know how Meet The Fockers is even on the list.

Empire is and always will be my favorite Star Wars movie.

lol @ Teabag

I would have thought TDK would come in second

And where the [frick] is Wrath of Khan??? Wasn't it revered as one of the best sequels ever??? Superman 2? No?

Woops, great quickdrwin' there, grog! ;)

my m8 works for love film in brighton .. that poll is crap..i work in a video shop that poll is not good at all...some of those films are not worth a wan?

Meet The Fockers? Pffffft. No Spider-Man 2? Other great sequels: Before Sunset, Return to Oz, X2. Meet the Fockers better than these? Yeah 'Focking' right!!!

EMPIRE, my favourite Star Wars movie. Fockers is a hilarious comedy and you need a comedy on a list like this to even the playing field. No one has a complaint about shrek 2? hmmmmmm lol :P

Meet the mofos? really? meet the parents was better. And Return of the King was wayyyyy better.

blade 2 .. hellboy 2 ..x2 ..mi2.. res evil 2 avp2..transporter2 .rocky2...all these dids well renting

Can't understand why Terminator 2 was second on the list, I felt that Terminator was by far the better movie.

Hell yes! My favorite of the Star Wars! I will admit I am surprised it beat out T2 and Godfather II I figured one of those would've been number one. lol. And Shrek 2 is my favorite of the Shrek movies but I don't really think it should be in the top 10. Definately not Meet the Fockers or Two Towers. Now I don't really like the LoTR series but Two Towers was so frikin boring to me.

@Shaman I have to agree. How is Wrath of Khan not on here? It should be in the top ten considering many think its BETTER than the first Star Trek.

First off, the right movie is number one. Empire is still the gold standard by which great sequels should be judged. A great sequel builds upon the first film, and finds exciting new directions to take now-familiar characters. It would stand on its own as a great movie without the original. Empire is a perfect example of doing just this. So are Terminator 2 and Aliens. Which brings me to:

Dark Knight over Aliens? Like hell! Aliens at the time was one of the most exciting action movies I'd ever seen! Unlike Dark Knight, it had a well-plotted story with no gaping holes and legitimate dramatic tension.
I would say the same of The Bourne Supremacy, and even Toy Story 2,which gave us a clever twist on one of the most clever and unique films I've ever seen.

In my ever-so-humble opinion, the basic truth is that the Dark Knight is a very overrated movie. I was honestly not that impressed with it. Look beyond a couple of admittedly good acting performances (Ledger and Eckhart), and you have a story with numerous flaws and poor cinematography in the fight scenes. I'm a lot more impressed with a solid story that doesn't leave me wondering how gaping holes in the story aren't noticed by any of the characters, especially when the protagonist is supposed to be extremely intelligent. I've detailed many of these holes here over the years. I know many of you here will disagree. That's fine. We all have different standards for greatness. All I ask is for a little respect for a divergent viewpoint as I respect yours.

EMPIRE Always will be!!! ; D

lol i love how i said the same thing as like 4 other people

"fockers?!?! what about SM2?"

haha great

why the [frick] was Wrath of Khan not on that list?

LOTR should be disqualified, as , there was no sequel, its one big movie. The book was separated into smaller parts.

I don't think "The Bourne Supremacy" should be on that list, it was solid but a bit of a letdown.

the last 3 on the list are complete BULLSHlT

Meet the Fockers? I'd like the top 7 if "Empire" was moved to 5th.
