Which sequels from popular movie franchises were most underrated and overlooked???
My ideas:
RoboCop 2
RoboCop 3
Alien 3
Lethal Weapon 3
Die Hard 2
Jurassic Park 3
House 2: The Second Story
House 4
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Resident Evil: Extinction
Mad Max 3
Mission: Impossible 3
Scream 3
Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master
Predator 2
Moonraker
Rambo 2
Rambo 3
Blade: Trinity
Mortal Kombat 2
Most of them are my guilty-pleasures!
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (if I can count it as a sequel to the TV series)
Gremlins II
Star Trek III
Superman III
House 2: The Second Story
Rocky IV
I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting. Maybe I'll add some more later.
A lot of the ones on your list I have not seen, but I bought all the Blade films as a movie 4 pack recently because I like the first one, but have not watched the rest yet.
Back in 1990 this along with Die Hard 2 and Predator 2 were bashed but truth is their all underrated and much better than the trash that's thrown at us now.
shareI'm not a big fan of either Die Hard 2 or Predator 2, but both are OK. I think Predator 2 is actually better than the first one. But I don't remember either getting trashed. If I thought they were generally disliked, I'd call them underrated too, but to me they just seem like so-so movies with so-so reputations.
shareHoly sh-t, sounds like someone needs to watch Predator again.
See you at the party, Richter!

The World is Not Enough
The Phantom Menace
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Iron Man 3
Iron Man 2
Anyone else?
sharethis is not a sequel...and actually i just looked it up and it didn’t get horrible reviews so i guess it’s not really underrated...but i thought ravenous was very “misunderstood”...in the sense that as i was watching it, i felt that nothing, well, “spectacularly intellectual” happened on the surface but there seemed to me to be lots of inside jokes between the director and the small number of people who would “get” it. i can’t go into detail because i haven’t seen it in a long time. it struck me as very negative beyond a level where your average doofus would really understand, and the director seemed to know this.
shareA Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge
Ghostbusters II
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III
The Enforcer
What do you say, you dumb bitch?
This, Rocky II, Infernal Affairs II (though, it's technically a prequel), Lethal Weapon 4, and Cinderella III: A Twist a Time all come to mind.
shareCan't believe some of what I see above-- Die Hard 2? Predator 2? Ghostbusters 2?? The Phantom Menace??? Superman 3????? But whatever floats your hobie. Besides, I imagine not everyone will agree with what I select, so...
My list of sequels that are as good or better than the original, but don't get the props they deserve includes:
Fletch 2
Iron Man 2
Mad Max: Fury Road
I can't think of any others right now, but I'm sure there are more.
Jaws 2
2010
