Often movie sequels are criticized as artistically inferior, and accused of simply repeating the story of the original film. However, sometimes a sequel gives an opportunity to address weaknesses in the original. wiki/Sequel
For instance, the film Star Trek: The Motion Picture was panned as overlong, boring and short on character play. In reaction, Paramount Pictures hired Harve Bennett to produce a sequel that addresses the criticisms; he produced Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which is considered one of the best films of the series.
Other examples of sequels which are widely considered as good as or better than the original include Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather, Part II, X2: X-Men United, Toy Story 2, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Superman 2, Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Postoji recimo sujeverje medju trekijima da su parni redni brojevi filmova bolji od neparnih:
A common and fondly-held superstition among fans is that the even-numbered Star Trek films are superior to the odd-numbered Star Trek films. This rule of thumb is most easily applicable to the first few films: Star Trek II and IV are usually at or near the top of the fan-favorites, while Star Trek I and V are usually at the bottom wiki/Star_Trek (superstition)
