I thought it was an extention of the first one. It was more of the same. The second one couldn't stand on its own because so many of the jokes were direct references to the first movie. If you can get passed that, it is a great movie, but the first one wins over the second in my book for originality.

 

No one's mentioned Goldmember, where the formula was perfected and they made fun of the Dutch.

The deleted scenes alone are superior to most of Spy who Shagged me, as anyone who recognises that quote can attest.

I also consider the first Terminator better than the second movie, it just felt more real in my opinion, mostly the character were more believable and the effects were old school models, there was something physically there and you could feel it.

 

The second movie was mostly show and flash over substance with unbelievable characters and good-for-it's-time second-gen CGI effects. Not that it was bad, and it most certainly qualifies as a successful sequel, but I like the first one better. It was also the first rated R movie I saw on my own... does that make me feel young or old... eh.

 

 

By the way, does anyone else consider Time Bandits, Brazil, and Baron Munchausen to be a trillogy or is that just me?

Well, all three were made by Terry Gilliam who said they were to be his theatrical vision (or some such blah blah, sorry, can't think it's three in the morning) of the three stages of man; Time Bandits was the journey of a child, Brazil was the dissatisfaction with the absurdity of the adult world, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was the final tale of an old man.

 

Other than this theme that threads through them, they were all quite distinct and separate movies, so as to if they were a trilogy, it's always been up in the air and I just wanted other opinions.
