Movies with sequels that are as good as the 1st film
As we know, a huge majority of sequels are usually sub par of the first film at best. Though I have seen some movies where the sequel is actually just as good as part one and was curious as to what film sequels people though were just as good as part one.
Off the top of my head at the moment...
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Harry Potter & The Chamber Of Secrets
Aliens
Rush Hour 2
Wishmaster 2
(this only counts for sequels/part 2's only, not part 3 or 4 and etc.)

Aliens
Dark Knight
T2
Rambo- ok, not as good as the first by a longshot, but definitely served to popularize the character more than people thought could be done.

It's sequel to Batman Begins, which is a reboot of the 80's/90's Batman films. It is not part of the same series.

I agree with TDK and I would put Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen & Twilight: New Moon on there also. I actually like all 3 of these more than the originals
