The rare sequel so good it actually improves upon its predecessor and makes good on every single promise set up in ‘Part One.’

'Avatar: The Way of Water' film review: Stunning CGI fails to distract from epic-scale mediocrity
The long-delayed sci-fi flick will tests audience's palette for a sequel to a 13-year-old movie ... that doesn't radically advance the story or the characters. But the CGI is pretty (again).
'The Souvenir: Part II' film review: Meta sequel explores catharsis through art
This understated and quietly extraordinary drama masterfully articulates the elusive journey of self discovery and reconciling grief.
'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' film review: The silly & weirdly charming monster romance no one expected
Tom Hardy goes all-in with the bonkers body horror superhero monster flick - a movie that, at its weird core, is a break-up rom-com.
'Wonder Woman 1984' film review: Anticipated superhero sequel underwhelms
DC's Amazonian warrior returns to take on greed.
'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' film review: Borat & daughter travel the flat Earth to take on Covid & conspiracies. Very nice.
The famously ignorant Kazakh returns to skewer America as it exists in 2020, QAnon and all.
'John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum' film review: Once fresh franchise shows its age
The latest in this bullet-crazed series hits the ground running and doesn't take a break. This is as much the film's strength as it is its weakness.
'Avengers: Endgame' spoiler-free film review: Stirring, epic finale for Marvel's mightiest heroes
More than a decade ago, Marvel embarked on an ambitious plan: establish beloved superheroes and create a cinematic universe — all leading to the once-in-a-generation epic.
"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" film review: Time to close the park
The latest entry in the dinosaur rampage franchise is somehow a natural progression from the themes of the heady Michael Crichton novel - and the stupidest entry in the series.
'Blair Witch' review: Toothless rehash of original poses as a so-called sequel
Anyone who has seen "The Blair Witch Project" has already seen "Blair Witch." Seeing this weak sequel only encourages Hollywood to make more of these lame pseudo sequels.
'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' film review (spoiler-free)
"The Force Awakens" represents the start of something exciting rooted in something familiar.
'Creed' movie review: Best entry in the franchise since the first 'Rocky'
Every bit the worthy successor to the "Rocky" franchise, "Creed" is an elegant passing of the torch and a rousing flick that inspires.
'Spectre' film review: Bond's latest is too long, too cluttered & too shallow
This latest 007-flick feels like a throwback to the old Bond movies -- but not in a good way.
'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' review: Ending on a mediocre note
The unnecessarily bloated "Hobbit" trilogy comes to a merciful - if mildly entertaining - conclusion
'Dumb and Dumber To' review: Retread of a cult comedy - but with fewer jokes
There's virtually no important plot -- at best, it's a slightly warmed-over version of the original "Dumb and Dumber" plot (road trip to find girl, return item to her).
'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' review: Not merely great sci-fi but great drama
The "Planet of the Apes" franchise is officially cool again. Add "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" to the short list of sequels that surpass their already impressive predecessors.
'Star Trek Into Darkness' review: Fun, exciting (if derivative) 'Trek'
The 2009 'Star Trek' film is arguably the greatest reboot in movie history and 'Into Darkness' further explores this new alternate 'Trek' timeline, discovering exciting and accessible new takes on familiar, beloved franchise lore.
