Underrated Movie Sequels Ever? Your ideas


Which sequels from popular movie franchises were most underrated and overlooked???

My ideas:

Mission: Impossible 3
Mad Max 3
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
Scream 3
Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master
Predator 2
Moonraker
Rambo 2
Rambo 3
Blade: Trinity
X-Men: The Last Stand
Mortal Kombat 2

Most of them are my guilty-pleasures!

The Exorcist III
Nightmare On Elm Street III: The Dream Warriors
Wes Cravens New Nightmare
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (The most underrated sequel I have come across. Seriously, if they had the balls to omit Halloween III and simply title it "Season of the Witch" the movie would have been better received.)
Curse of Chucky
Night of the Demons 2
Rocky Balboa
Rambo

Wow Amazing list. I really liked Halloween 3 too

Thanks. It really is a great flick. I preferred it over all the Halloween sequels.
Notice how most of them are in the horror genre? I can't think of any other sequels in other categories that are just as good or close. Can you?

Day of the Dead (Hated when it came out for "not being Dawn of the Dead")
Shock Treatment (Rocky Horror Spin-off)
Creepshow 2 (For the Raft)
Ghostbusters 2 (Reboot made it look like a work of art)
Hellraiser:Bloodlines (Good film marred by studio forced cuts/reshoots)
Gremlins 2: The New Batch (Christopher Lee and Tony Randle as the voice of the Brain Gremlin. Nuff said.)
Terminator 3-Rise of the Machines. (Had the stones enough to end on a bummer note.)
Amityville II: The Possession (Highly dramatized & fictionalized account of the Defeo Murders. Creepy and disturbing in spots)
A Return to Salem's Lot (Guilty "so bad it's good" sequel in name only to the 1970s CBS mini series. Lots of blood, boobs and bad acting.)
Revenge of the Creature (The Gill Man terrorizes proto Sea World, Beach Blanket Bingo and a very young Clint Eastwood.)
Jaws 3D (Another fish tale sequel good for a few chuckles. The floating shark dentures take the cake.)

On Halloween 3, I just wanted to throw out that had Sean Cunningham and Victor Miller had their way Friday the 13th-Part II would have fallowed the same path and been the whole new story, ( A supernatural one).
