I liked the original Shrek, and don't remember laughing more than a couple times during the sequel. Just didn't think it was funny.

Some more better #2's:

Aliens
The Bourne Supremacy
Kill Bill 2
Hot Shots Part Deux
X-Men 2

Honorable mention to:

Gremlins 2
Die Hard 2 & 3

Although those 3 are probably not "better" than the originals, I enjoyed them at least as much.

The Godfather II is the best sequel ever. Not only did they make it better than one of the best movies of all time, they took a complete left turn with the back story and came up with an all-time classic that not only makes the first one even better, but it stands on its own with only a handful of other films.
