Default Sequel Better Than The Original

My wife and I were having a rainy day conversation, and were talking about going to see "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice". I mentioned that I'd heard that it was pretty good, but most folks felt that it "didn't QUITE" measure up to the original.

My wife quickly stated that it's a very rare sequel that is better than the original, and that set us along a path to figure out which sequels were better. There are a lot of factors to figure in, of course, but...it's an interesting question I thought I'd share here.

We were talking movies, so I only thought of those. We also agreed that 'any' sequel would count, not just a direct sequel, so you could count any of the 8 Rocky sequels, for instance. We also considered release order. So "A New Hope" would be considered the start of Star Wars, and anything after that is a sequel.

I'm curious about folks thoughts on this.
