You can't really compare Alien and Aliens. They are completely different movies. Both excellent in their own right.

As for sequels, I'll have to say that Spiderman 2 was better than the original.

I wholeheartedly agree. I was surprised at the moments of humour and nice timing and camerawork. It was not a paint by the numbers project.

But I can see how those who don't like Spiderman movies might lump them all together.

The contrast wasn't as great as with other sequel improvements.

Dawn of the Dead.
Star Trek II
Chinatown

Also, another vote for Godfather II and Road Warrior.

Empire better than Star Wars? Heathen!

Eh I should say trilogies that were meant as a trilogy from the beginning don't count. Things like Star Wars, LOTR, Back to the Future, etc.

Ah, and I might be in the minority here, but I liked Friday After Next more than the original Friday...not by much though.

Apples and oranges. T1 had the superior story, T2 had the better SF/X and action sequences.

Wrath of Khan gets it's vote from me. Along with The Undiscovered Country and First Contact. The rest were just stretched out TV episodes.
