I'm glad in my absence that Desperado was mentioned. Special shout out for young guns II from me here.
And I'd love to see Gary Sinise yelling STELLA! It'd be much hotter than Brando's version - no matter how hot Brando may have once been, when I look at him I'll always see fat old brando stuck in some young guy's body. Gary will never be fat and old.

I don't know if you can count the POTC:DMC since a third movie was intended. However, I think it rocked... and unlike others, I loved the ending as it left me salivating for more. smile.
I concur with: Aliens, Bourne Supremacy (though I liked Identity better), X2 for sure. (I didn't think the third one sucked, but it was definitely lacking). Terminator 2 didn't suck. Lethal Weapon2
How about Shrek 2? My niece's tell me that Ice Age 2 was good, but I cannot personally speak on this. Evil Dead 2? Scream2 & 3? (I know I was entertained by at least one of them). Dawn of the Dead? I can't recall, but I'm fairly certain as a kid I enjoyed Karate Kid II. Rush Hour 2 but NOT Shanghai Knights as I thought it was horrible stinking pile of poo.
If you are into the Mission Impossible movies, I've heard the 3rd one was alright. I'm trying to remember if I liked the second Highlander. I think I may have, but the third one should never have been made and then the last one "End Game?" could have been so much more, but it didn't completely wreak, but I was a fan of the original movie and the tv series, so I'm probably not the best judge.

I saw Cutting edge 2 -- It wasn't horrible, but I'm not sure I'd say it was equal/better than the origional (not that the origional was that great).
So in the "Sequels that did NOT suck" does that mean the sequel is at least equal or better than the first? Because for me to say a sequel didn't suck means it needs to be on par with the first. If it can't even equal the first than it shouldn't have been made.
Terminator 2 is BETTER than Terminator 1 which was good. Terminator 3 -- didn't need to be made.
X2 was BETTER than X1 which was very good. X3 -- Ratner needs to die.
Except for Puss in Boots, Shrek 2 was NOT better than Shrek 2.
Ice Age 2 was NOT even equal to Ice Age 1. Should not have been made.
Karate Kid 2 was better than Karate Kid 1 which was very good.
Rush Hour 2 should NOT have been made. It was not even close to being equal to the first.
Rambo 2 was better than the first, and the first was good.
Neverending Story was incredible, 2 was just AWFUL and I didn't even bother with 3.
Toy Story 2 was better than the first, and the first was cute.
Don't get me started on the Disney classic sequels -- the only ones that came close to being good but did not equal the first were Bambi 2 and Cinderella 2.
US Marshals was basically the sequel to The Fugitive, and it was equal to it.
That's all I can think of for now.....

Rocky 4, however, did. Just watched it again for the first time in years and whoa. I didn't remember it being that painfully awful. And Rocky 5 is supposed to be even worse?? Seriously??

Dude...Rocky 5 is so bad that it's best to pretend that it never happened. It makes 4 look like The Godfather.
Side story: years ago I went on a Boy Scout camp where we canoed down the Snake River. As we passed through the Tetons, our guide pointed out the very distinctive peak that Stallone ran up in 4. So, yep... Russia was acutally the Idaho/Wyoming area. Just thought you'd like to know.

The Chronicles of Riddick. I wish and wish they would make more of those.

I've never seen Riddick but saw Pitch Black again the other night and it is awesome.
I've thought of a good one, Silence of the Lambs (sequel to Manhunter?).

Pet Semetary Two. It rocked just as much as the first one did!
