When Star Wars was made Lucas didn't know the next two movies would come out but they were already written. By the time they mede Empire, they were counting on Jedi being released.
Well I mean it was obvious that Empire was setting up Jedi and by the time Empire was produced the third one was definitely going to be made but you can't say that Empire was part of a pre-planned trilogy when the trilogy itself wasn't pre-planned, but a complete trilogy wasn't even planned until star wars hit big so you can't see as A New Hope as the start of a pre-planned trilogy so that's why I say the Scream 2 arguement is utter bullshit.

And even SCream is utter bullshit as the writer for Scream and Scream 2 didn't even write scream 3

And yes, Gremlins 2 was wacky but Il iked that.

And though not a sequel, the Buffy tv series is better than the original film.

Actually, that is still true. The third movie of a horror trilogy is almost always done by a different director.

usually the first director is too embarassed to get involved.

I liked Temple, but it was not as good as Raiders. Wasn't Clear and Present Danger a sequel to Patriot Games (or something like that)? If so add Clear to the list. It was a great movie.

Well Craven returned, it was Williamson who left.

As for Clear and Patriot, it's a bit of a muddy situation, it's like the 007 films whether they are considered sequels. Clear came after Patriot (and was better) but both came out after Hunt for Red October, the 'first' Ryan movie which was better than both of them. Now with Sum of All Fears coming out it's set during the first days of Ryan with the CIA yet put in modern times.

Mega Man 2 was much better than the first one...... oh wait, this is entertainment, not gaming. My bad :-D

The entire Star Wars trilogy was in Lucas's head before any of them came out, probably not scripted but at least in rough idea form. They did not know if they were going to do Empire before the success of A New Hope.
As far as Attack of the Clones goes, I think it will be a hell of a lot better than Episode I, but I'd still have to go with the originals as the best, probably in order. However, I'm willing to stay open-minded and wait till May 16 to see if I'm wrong.
Raiders is the best Indy movie, then Last Crusade (just a hair behind by the way), and then Temple. TOD is not a bad movie by any stretch, it's just that growing up the heart-pulling-out stuff always scared the shit outta me and I guess I never got past that, but now that I watch the entire thing through, it's not that bad... once you get past Kate Capshaw's constant "Oh my God"s.
And yes, Wrath of Kahn was much much much better than the piece of crap first movie. That one was just dumb.
And if you go w/ series, like Buffy, ST: The Next Generation was better than the original series.

I don't even consider them in the same series. The Star Wars movies are above and beyond anything that was ever done in science fiction and when taken in context should remain the best Sci-fi trilogy ever made.

But god does "Clones" look good.
it better be after the abortion that was Episode I.

Everyone bashes Episode 1 around here and I don't understand why. Yes, Jar Jar was annoying but overall I thought the movie was fucking great. The Duel of the Fates fight was one of the best fight scenes ever and the pod racing was cool as hell. And the special effects were overall better than anything out there (with an honorable mention to The Matrix). I liked it better than Return of the Jedi. Ewoks suck.

It's not that Ep-1 wasn't a good movie on it's own, it just wasn't up to Star Wars standard. It's crazy to think that Ep-1 was better than Jedi but I guess abortion was too strong of a word, maybe mis-carriage.

Actually, Lucas had written 9 "episodes" when he made the first Star Wars. For whatever reason he thought that the fourth installment had the strongest chance to do well as a movie. I don't think he knew however, that it would be as strong as it was in the box office.

How come nobody's mentioning porno movies? They always have like 26 sequels, and all 26 usually come out within 2 years.

It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it's told.

godfather2 better than original
i still know what you did last summer was better than the first one
toy story 2 was a better story than the first
t2 beats out t1
empire was better than star wars because it was darker (imo)

as for episode 1, i think the movie itself was good, but with all the hype and what people expected of lucas after all that wait, there was no way it could live up to expectations. as a movie it was good, but if it had come out first (before a new hope) there is no way that people would be clammoring for another episode. he made a smart move starting in the middle

I know we're already off the Godzilla sequals..... But I think Godzilla VS Destroyah (Destroyer) was just as good as the original...... Maybe even better. They killed Godzilla, but, his son mutated into him after his father blew up from that nuclear blast (so he's back!). The "new" Godzilla sucks. You know, the one that looks like a T-Rex. The only good part in that movie was the chase scene with the Taxi.

Krahzee, I think the reason he went with Episode IV to begin the series was because it was the easiest to make on the limited budget he had, and also if he went forward and did a full trilogy, that was a lot easier at that time than creating a clone army as will appear in the next one.
quote:

BIV, I wholeheartedly agree with you there.
Episode I was a good movie, just not a great one, and not a great Star Wars one. The duel was the best one yet, but there was very limited space battle sequences, which should have gotten more attention (Star Wars, get it?). I've also noticed that in each successive film, Lucas has added another battle scene to the end sequence:
ANH - Death Star Run (1 battle)
ESB - Luke vs. Vader, Leia and crew escaping (2)
ROTJ - Luke vs. Vader vs. Emperor, Ewok Battle, Space Battle (3)
TPM - Duel of the Fates, Amidala and crew going upstairs, Gungans vs. the Battle Droids, Space Battle (4)
It just gets a little confusing sometimes with more battles, and doesn't allow him to focus more on each one, as he should. Come on, how great was Luke vs. Vader in ESB? If not the best, that's a damn close second to the fight in TPM.

Halloween 666: The Origin of Michael Myers (The Producer's cut) is better then the original Halloween. I know many people hate this movie.... But you haven't seen the Producer's Cut yet. It explains everything. The Thorn, Druids, the final sacrafice, the blood line, and how Michael Myers becomes a father. Yes, it does sound weird.... The Producer's Cut is better then the T-Cut and is just as scary as Halloween 1.
