Has there ever been a sequel that was better than the first one?

The Empire Strikes Back. Forgot that one. I personally prefer The Godfather part one.

Agreed about the improvement of new characters, looks exciting plus I hear Eric Johnson is a great actor. Elana Lincoln is just the worst.

Dakota is pretty (and puts more effort into the films than Jamie) and Jamie is good in The Fall but as a couple they look so bored in the Darker trailers. Jamie kind of has two facial expressions. Can't look past him as a serial killer, plus Christian and Paul Spector have a lot of same characteristics.

It's going to do very, very well at the box office, I just hope people realize that movie theater workers clean up after films end. I'm all for people and their sexual whatever but I think it's disrespectful to them and if they do use cucumbers during the movie (yes, that actually happened) that they do it at home.
I bet they make the upcoming Grey books into movies.

I preferred Aliens over Alien...Darker and Freed have better stories...more romance...drama..thrills..

Hi marshmellow1117,

James's husband is a very talented screenwriter who worked in British television. I don't know how much he can do with an adaptation of weak source material, but I'm sure the next two films will be better than the first. They can't be worse.

I agree with Catching Fire. However, that might be because I get motion sick pretty easily from excessive use of shaky cam.
