Underrated Movie Sequels That Deserve A Second Chance

July 3, 2021 by Red Stewart

Marvelous Videos presents underappreciated sequels to acclaimed pictures…

Sequelitis is one of the biggest plagues of the film industry. On the one hand we get it: by being successful, a movie has shown its producers that it’s a successful IP with a brand name among new audiences. On the other, sometimes a story doesn’t need to be extended- it had a perfect beginning, middle, and end, and creating anything additional after runs the risk of hurting its legacy.

We agree with these concerns, but there have been plenty of great sequels to acclaimed films you would think were satisfying enough. And thanks to our friends at Marvelous Videos, we have ten of them we are ready to recommend to you. Here are 10 underrated sequels that deserve a second chance…
