I think the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake is better than the original, laugh if you want, but it's my opinion. The Texas Chainsaw remake is one of the better remakes I've seen in years. Probably because I loved the evil Sheriff in the remake of Texas Chainsaw. As for sequels that were better than the first, I think "Superman II" is better than the first Superman. "X-Men 2" is better than the first X-Men film. Good topic, Your Hero. |

X-Men 2 springs to mind, as well as Bill and Teds Bogus Jurney.

X2
Aliens Spiderman 2 Godfather II Return of the Jedi (Yeah, lotta people would disagree with this but oh well) That's about it for sequels that I think surpass the first. In terms of remakes, in my experience, either the original is better or I haven't seen both versions. |

Originally it was just Kill Bill. Hence the original trailer that says "In the year 2003 Uma Thurman will Kill Bill". Kill Bill 1 and 2 are one whole movie cut in half, released separately. |

I know that, but the fact that they are released speratly should mean that it is a sequal. Are you saying The Lord of the Rings is one movie and the last 2 are not sequals. If you make that argument for Kill Bill You should make that argument for Lord of the Rings.
I do consider Kill Bill one movie, i was just answering the question... I think Volume 2 is better than Volume 1 |

I guess. But now that I think of it though, I don't actually consider Two Towers and Return of the King as sequels really, just further enstallments in one long story. As opposed to more typical sequels that deal with the same characters yet semi-different storylines/situations.
So yeah, I would count LOTR as one large film, since it was all shot as so. Although I feel Fellowship is the strongest part of the story (and deserved the Oscar). Unlike The Matrix where only the second two were shot together and weren't even being thought of during the filming of part 1. I dunno. All a matter of opinion. |

Oh no, Im definatly with you on this.
Quite frequently on IMDB there are debates about whether it was a remake or a sequel, and I was always in favour of a remake, because half of the story has been changed by Evil Dead 2, and it stays that way into AOD. So instead of debating about whether or not it is a remake, I just can't be bothered at call it a sequel. |

Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn....
one of my favorite movies of all time and I thought it was a whole lot better than the first one. Dont get me wrong. The first one was great but this one just made the series a whole lot better. |

Does anyone know what a sequel is? A remake is not a sequel [Cape Fear, Manchurian Candidate]. A continuation of a story is not a sequel [Lord of the Rings, Kill Bill]. A sequel is a movie that was made separately after the first as another "episode" of the first movie. The Godfather Part II is a sequel, and possibly the best sequel ever made.
