Originally Posted By Anatole69 ^^ I don't, which is why I didn't mention them. Those are sequels for purely commercial reasons as far as I know.
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA Thanks for the clarification. Cars and Monsters -- financial Toys -- artistic noted.

Originally Posted By utahjosh Pixar's only given me one sequel so far, right? And it was better than the original. I trust them until they give me a reason not to.

Originally Posted By basil fan I don't like Cars much, so I won't be seeing that one. But I'll go for Monsters Inc and TS3. I've got nothing against sequels. Once upon a time, they were universally bad. But Star Wars changed that. Nowadays, there are good sequels and bad ones.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 A number of films changed that before Star Wars. The Godfather II was easily as good as I, probably better. The Thin Man sequels, way back in the 30's, though perhaps not quite as good as the first, were still good to very good. Bride of Frankenstein was even better than Frankenstein.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Though yes, through movie history, sequels have traditionally ranged from "well, okay, but not as good as the first" to "what were they thinking?" There have always been exceptions though.
