I didn't say better. A good sequel doesn't have to be better than it's predecessor.

I feel like there's a few solid candidates in the Bond anthology but it can get muddied if you consider each new Bond actor the triggering of a reboot.

Hansel?!
Can't come up with a better answer than that. Considerably better than the other movies in the, er, franchise.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was mentioned in the replies. I, personally, can't decide between that and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The latter has no business being as good as it is for the 6th film in a franchise, and so little of it is rehashed or re-used from the previous entries. If only franchises would be that original and daring in their sequels nowadays, instead of playing everything so safe and formulaic.
I don’t think it’s offside to suggest Aliens is superior to Alien.

I beg to differ.

The Godfather Part II seems like the obvious choice, but only because we never got The Room Part II.

Rebooting myself
Still working on why Sister act 2 made the list over any star trek and about 1000 other sequels out there
Surprised to only see the Dark Knight mentioned once. It was definitely one of the better sequels ever produced.
Rogue one is not considered a sequel as far as I am aware.
Went with Return of the King as it is better than the Two Towers which is part of the best trilogy ever that still holds up today.

Bogus Journey was a terrible sequel/movie..
I only remember a single laugh from it (and forgive me if I don't quote it verbatim, it's been a long time)
They're taken as prisoners, and ordered in to 'the iron maiden'.. so they're stoked and respond 'excellent.'
Then their captor finishes his instruction, 'execute them'.
Their deflated response: 'bogus'.
(ps- I thought Last Crusade was a strong Indiana Jones' sequel.)
Lt Dan
F*** your ice cream!
While I do agree it's a great movie, I feel it's a tad overrated. While the Joker is a great villain I started to feel that he was becoming OP as the movie went on. And while I liked the portrayal of Harvey Dent, he would not continue into the next movie, so he kinda felt cut short to me.
I agree Return of the Jedi is a significant drop in quality compared to Empire, but I can see some people still choosing it because of the Vader redemption/Throne room stuff.
The reason why I can't choose Empire is that the rest of the movie franchise, the prequels and sequels have done such a poor job that it just makes it stand out even more. Empire brought depth to Star Wars, but George Lucas, and later Disney drained the pool.
I don't even care about how the other Disney plus is doing or how good it is. Bury Star Wars, bring it back 30 years from now when I'm dead haha. (Though if a video game is good, I might check it out)

Aliens ramps up the spectacle, but it's actually a very mediocre movie.
I respect him, but honestly James Cameron movies are usually kind of dumb.
Godfather Part 2 and Empire Strikes Back for me. Love Bladerunner 2049 also, but it can't compare to the aforementioned IMO.
I guess the The Dark Knight hasn't aged well. No one even mentioned it.
