The Empire Strikes Back
Movie sequels are tricky things to get right. If you stick to the same formula as the predecessor, it becomes boring, but if you come up with something completely different, it could ruin the legacy of the original. While most sequels turn out to be weak follow-ups, some films, such as the recent Marvel movie Thor: Ragnarok, starring Chris Hemsworth as the golden-locked God of Thunder, buck the trend.
Many even say that the funny and light-hearted film, which is directed by New Zealand indie film-maker Taika Waititi, who is known for his quirky films, is a lot better than the two much more serious and dreary films that came before it. Which other movies have managed to beat the sequel curse and edge out even the originals? Here’s a look.
