20 Movie Sequels That Work as Standalones (Yardbarker)

"Hollywood loves a sequel. It's understandable why this would be the case since sequels allow studios to continue mining the same creative vein without seeking out new material. While some sequels are stale and pale imitations of the original films, others succeed on their own terms, even as they offer the pleasure of returning to a beloved universe and well-established characters. Those sequels that can stand on their own deserve particular praise, as they are a testament to the skills of the writers who know how to achieve a true juggling act, giving audiences more of what they want and telling a self-contained and satisfying story." - yardbarker.com
