Movie sequels that instead of "2" should just be "again"

[Hecubus114]

And by this I mean sequels that, for all practical purposes, are just the original story happening again. A few off the top of my head would be:

Home Alone 2
Men in Black 2
Ghostbusters 2 (had a little more variance but the key plot elements were the same)

And although I havent seen it, I've heard The Hangover 2

Others?

 

[Contec]

Die hard movies...
Evil dead 1 and 2

 

[HAL9000]

"Point Break 2"

Sorry, I meant "The Fast & The Furious"

 

[Mola Rob]

Terminator 2
Aliens

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

The 'Bourne' 2&3, although I really like all 3 in that series.

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

Really, Indy 3 and 4 were a re-telling of 1, only TOD strayed from the Raiders plot.

 

[Zombie_61]

TRON: Legacy.

If it aint broke dont fix it.

Some people complain that sequels were not similar enough to the originals, that they dont follow what made the originals great.

Haters gonna hate I guess.

I don't think it's that at all.

I love the Jason Bourne movies because I loved the concept and story of the first one and 2 and 3 were really more of the same. It was 'The Further Adventures of Jason Bourne' instead of Bourne 1: He kicks butt, Bourne 2: He takes up knitting.

On the other hand, I love all 6 Star Wars movies but the plot and action seemed very different from movie to movie, no 2 could be described as having 'basically the same plot as the last one'.

Having the same story does not make a sequel bad as long as the action is kept fresh and different and it's not too similar.

The Hangover 2

 

[cayman shen]

Terminator 2
Aliens

Both movies are COMPLETELY different than their predecessors.

That's weird. Not when I watch them.

 

[Birdie]

The only way Aliens could be more different would be by not having Ripley or the Aliens in them.

Terminator 2 I kinda agree with.

 

[kursosawa]

The Mummy 2.

You sure you're remembering to switch discs?

 

[Mola Rob]

You sure you're remembering to switch discs?

Oh is that why the same characters die twice?

 

[DuneMuadDib]

I don't remember Reese dying in Terminator 2.

 

[Mola Rob]

I don't remember Reese dying in Terminator 2.

Top secret deleted scene.

:lol :lol :lol

Friday the 13th 2-5 are more or less the same movie.

The Hangover 2

Even the trailer was purposely done to look like the trailer from the first.
