Sequels that are better than the first movie.

Toy Story 2 was a cracking film - far more entertaining and had much more heart than the original.

I disagree about Aliens over Alien though. The original was a masterpiece in visuals and suspense.
 
Attack of the Clones is better than the Phantom Menace.

Empire is better than A New Hope.

Star Trek II is WAY better than the motion picture.

I would say Batman Returns is better than Batman.

Two towers is better than Fellowship of Ring.

--------
As for some beyond that.

I would say Rocky Balboa is much better than Rocky 4, and I would even say (controvesial I know) Rocky 5 is better than Rocky 4. Rocky 5 is criminally underated... give it another try.

Last Crusade is much better than the Temple of Doom.

I would say Jurassic Park 3 is better than 2.

Alian Resurection is better than Alien 3 (IMO). Although have to say possibly the best quadrilogy out there in terms of there not being a weak movie.

Yet to see Rambo 4, but Rambo 3 was pretty poor.

Revenge of the Sith is better than the Phantom Menace (but not attack of the clones).
 
X-Men 2 is way better than the first. Also agree with others about Empire and Blade 2, and vehemently disagree about Gremlins 2 and Indy 3.
 
Agree on T2, X2 and Blade 2. However, the definitive sequel for me is Godfather 2.

Not so sure on Shrek 2 or Toy Story 2. I found the originals much more enjoyable.
 
Whilst it's possible I may like The Last Crusade most of the three (probably thanks to Connery) Raiders is the better film with better characters.

The villains are better, the love interest is much better and Denholm Elliot's character isn't a complete tool.
