Sometimes the sequels are as good (if not better) than the originals, though.
It's all subjective, of course...but Alien & Aliens were both really well done. The first two Terminator movies. Rocky I & II. Rambo 1 & 2. Godfather I & 2. IronMan 1 & 2 (although I liked the first one best). The first three Star Wars.
Just think what we'd have missed out on had they stopped at the originals.
But overall, I agree Hollywood churns out far too many bad sequels - often because they hire shitty directors and/or producers to do the sequels and spend little time developing the script and plot.
