Man, I gotta agree with this one. Like, how many times have they milked a great movie with sequels that just don't hit the mark? It's like they run out of ideas and slap something together to cash in on the original's success. I mean, I can think of a few exceptions, but they're rare gems in a sea of mediocrity.

Sequels rarely surpass the originals? Tell that to The Godfather Part II! I mean, come on, that movie is a masterpiece and some even say it's better than the first one. And don't get me started on The Dark Knight - Heath Ledger's Joker alone makes it a classic. So yeah, sometimes sequels can totally hold their own or even outshine the originals.

Interesting view! Do you think those examples apply to most sequels or are they exceptions?

I don't know about you guys, but I've seen some sequels that totally rock! Like, "The Dark Knight" was way better than "Batman Begins" for me. It's not always a downgrade, folks. Sometimes, sequels can really step up their game and blow the originals out of the water.
