Can anyone think of any films which were considered bad but managed to have a sequel which was well-received. I can't think of any off the top of my head (other than the Amazing Spiderman 2 (I haven't seen any of these films, but heard a lot of reviewers saying the first film sucked but managed to turn out a good sequel). The Phantom Menace might be another pick - I didn't think the first one was awful, but I think it was the worst of the Star Wars films, and both of the other prequels were superior.
I can think of quite a few others where the sequel was arguably better (Terminator 2, the Godfather Part 2, etc) but in those cases the original was already well-received. Anyone else have ideas? Thanks.
