are they any good legacy sequels?

[Fishnumm]

t2 trainspotting and mad max fury road are alright

the rest i can think of are mediocre or really really bad

 

[WelperHelper99]

Top Gun Maverick is peak

 

[Standardized Profile]

Ghostbusters: Afterlife has its moments. It's too conscious of what it is, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Technically, The Lord of the Rings is a legacy sequel, and that was pretty good.

Aliens

aliens is great but 7 years doesnt make it a legacy sequel

My bad didnt understand what the legacy part meant

Aliens

Aliens is just a regular sequel. Ripley is the protagonist in both films, and it didn't set up a new series starring Newt and Bishop.

 

[Not A Cat Person]

The Blade Runner sequel was decent.

Also, Paddington 2 was unironically good.

 

[Angry Shoes]

Twin Peaks: The Return

 

[Migraine Box]

Blade Runner 2049 was decent, Tron Legacy was alright (Ares was hot dogshit though), and the 2008 Rambo film was also really good from what I remember.

 

[BubbaRobot887]

Does Star Trek TNG count because that led to 25 seasons of TV and four films. That has to be the most successful legacy sequel of all time.

 

[Basic Blond Boy]

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish - both a sequel to a film after 11 years, and a spinoff one at that. Extra points for being even better than the first film it followed up.

I thought Bill and Ted 3 wasn't perfect but it was pretty good.

 

[>-Ack!]

twins peaks: the return is so good that i would even dare say its better than the original 2 seasons

 

[I'm Retarded?]

seconding Twin Peaks, Blade Runner 2049, Mad Max, and Top Gun. the new Beetlejuice was pretty decent for what it was. I'm praying for Constantine 2. but contrary to the subject of the thread, I want to send one up for 28 Years Later, one of the most bafflingly and offensively retarded movies I've ever been subjected to. it is uncommonly bad. it is Joker 2 levels of bad. it is a bizarre attempt by the series' original director to cannibalize one of his earliest successes and turn it into a vessel for something totally unrelated and unwelcome. it is an anti-sequel. it is not merely mediocre slop; it is carefully and intentionally made, and exceptional in its awfulness. if anybody tells you that they genuinely like this movie, I think it is safe to consider that legal proof that they have no taste whatsoever.

wife and I mostly liked Beetlejuice 2, the new Naked Gun was pretty good too

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

Hot Tub Timemachine 2

Hot Tub Timemachine 2

Genuinely had no idea this even existed.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, I suppose would count
