These successful movie sequences, which were not only about making money

We are not fooled, most of the time, it’s a carrot and you’re disappointed. Sometimes, however, the sequel was even better than the first film of the saga. Examples.
Too good, too con. It’s always the same, when you like something, you leave the benefit of the doubt, you are naive, you trust, even when it stinks. We will not mention here all the “sequel” misses, the suites without tail or head, clearly produced to continue to collect money. Let us concentrate on the positive, on those that have surprises us and regaled us .
Mad Max 2
The first opus had tape everyone in 1979, by its universe, its violence, its central character … And two years later, the suite did even better. Benefiting from a bigger budget , “The Road Warrior” (the original title) struck even harder. Both literally and figuratively! And Mel Gibson was propelled to the rank of star.
The Dark Knight
The second film in the Batman trilogy by Christopher Nolan remains a massacre. Both in critical and commercial terms. In 2008, it became the fifth film to cross the $ 1 billion mark in revenue. We all remember the crazy performance of Heath Ledger in Joker , one of the most successful villains in history, more true than life.
Shrek 2
Honors to animated films too, why not? Besides the jokes and the funky atmosphere of the first, we see here the ass and Shrek tweak their duo , as well as huge scenes like infiltration in James Bond mode …
Terminator 2: The Last Judgment
Between 1985 and 1991, James Cameron took the time. And it was worth it! Six years after an already considerable success, the director returns us Schwarzy in the past in order to protect John Connor . From whom? From the highly motivated T-1000, with whom the chase and face-to-face racing will multiply and get tougher. Until the end, you do not breathe.
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
The thing is heard, it is the best film of the saga. The twist you take in this film, the emotions lived, the crazy scenes, two hours of which you come out washed . So, the best Star Wars obviously includes the “list” of the best movies in history. Just that.
Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
We reward here mainly the enormous difference between the 1 (First Avenger) and this suite, much more worked and effective. In the first, there was the impression that the producers wanted to introduce Steve Rogers before the Avengers. This second film succeeds the feat of going out of the frame of the banal superhero film centered around special effects and choreographed stunts to instill a rhythm and a spy thriller plot. Which one did you prefer among these films?

We make all the fellows saying not to watch movies of chicks. Or do not cry. Except for those, where the horrible end touches you inevitably.
I know there is a heart beating underneath. Under the appearance of a harsh man, there is a sensitive man. For girls, it’s simpler, they admit it and are not ashamed to cry when a love story ends badly. Especially in these films.
So awful! While he is exiled and runs a cafe in Casablanca, Rick Blaine sees his former love Ilsa reappear. She tells him that she is married and that she still loves him . In the midst of the Second World War, Rick received two letters of transit, and instead of using it for himself and Ilsa, he preferred to save her and her husband. He compels it. And there you are.
Probably Woody Allen’s most successful film. In his role as Alvy Singer, a psychotic actor, he leads a complicated love relationship that is doomed to failure with Annie . And rather than show us this in the usual chronological order, we go from moments to moments, sees slices of life, includes things …
A timing story. Scarlett O’Hara begins by repressing Rhett Butler several times before realizing that it is ultimately his real love, the man of his life. And when she confides it … it’s too late . He realized that he would live better without it. She panics, asks him what to do without him. And Rhett balances him cash he does not care, and bim, end of the story and big bad.
Film, Romantic, Sad, Ending, Complicated, Love, Crying, Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart, Gone with the Wind, Clark
One more proof that love stories generally end up bad. On board the Titanic, the young Rose meets Jack and an incredible romance sets in . She, an aristocrat, and he, penniless artist, will live intensely their love transi. Until the dramatic end, when Jack sacrifices himself to save her from the frozen sea, the Titanic flowing, people dying.
Jack and Hennis meet as sheep breeders, in the mountains (cf name of the movie guys), and appreciate each other. As time goes on, feelings grow and eventually arrive what should happen. Their story lasts all summer, then for years, in secret, because in the meantime they got married and settled . So they will never openly say that they love each other until the day when Ennis’ wife tells him that Jack died accidentally. Never hide her love.
Young English poet visiting Paris to see and tell the revolution, Christian goes to the Moulin Rouge and falls in love with the dancer Satine. Alas, their story must remain secret because the boss, the Duke of Monroth, also loves the young woman. A complicated love triangle: the boss threatens to kill Christian if Satine continues to see him, the latter stops under the pretext of not loving him, but we realize that she simply wanted to save Christian, avoid the worst. When the latter realizes it, during a performance and a dramatic song, Satine dies right after the curtain.
