添足还是续貂？

1999.玩具总动员2

1999年最佳电影续集《玩具总动员》 Toy Story 2 (November 19, 1999)
当选理由：皮卡斯的《玩具总动员2》比之原作有过之而无不及，在续集每况愈下的电影圈，这样的佳作堪称罕见。因而当年别的续集比方《王牌大贱谍2》、《007之黑日危机》只能靠边站了。

《玩具总动员》3抢先预告片 经典动画再现续集

Why?: A sequel worth getting excited about. After the Sequel Depression of the 1990s, the format finally springs back to life with the best sequel since 1991 - Toy Story 2. Even though Pixar had produced several hits since the original Toy Story, it was the release of Toy Story 2 that really convinced us that the animation studio could do no wrong. Why? Because movies as good as Toy Story 1 don't normally get sequels that are worth damn, no less, sequels that are actually better than the original. But Toy Story 2 proved that - if you focus on story and character and raising the stakes in believable, emotionally honest ways - you can live up to (or surpass) even the greatest of the movies.

The competition: Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (6/11); The World Is Not Enough (11/19)

2000.小鬼巴黎行

2000年最佳电影续集《小鬼巴黎行》 Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (November 17, 2000)
当选理由：咳，可选择余地太少了。《碟中谍2》就是一扯谈；《肥佬教授2》整个儿一无聊；《惊声尖叫3》拍完收工；《102斑点狗》赔啊……相比而言还是《小鬼巴黎行》过得去。


《变形金刚2》火爆上映 数码产品也疯狂

Why?: WOW. We're surprised about this one too. After the sublime highs of Toy Story 2, how could we fall all the way down to an extra-long episode of a middle-of-the-road Nickelodeon cartoon? The answer is lack of options. John Woo's ridiculous Mission: Impossible sequel was a joke (take a shot every time someone rips off a stupidly realistic face mask), the highlight of Nutty Professor II is watching Larry Miller get raped by a giant hamster (not kidding), Scream 3 put the final nail in the Scream franchise, and 102 Dalmatians should've been titled "Glenn Close Picks Up a Paycheck." So, when compared against all of that dreck, the cute, safe, mildly clever Rugrats sequel rises above the rest. We're not proud of it, but it's true.

The competition: Scream 3 (2/4); Mission: Impossible II (5/24); The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (7/28); 102 Dalmatians (11/22)

2001.木乃伊归来

2001年最佳电影续集《木乃伊归来》 The Mummy Returns (May 4, 2001)
当选理由：《尖峰时刻2》和《侏罗纪公园3》都太无聊了。《木乃伊归来》虽然算不上什么好电影，但至少还看凑合，尤其在看过《木乃伊3：龙帝之墓》之后。


钢铁硬汉《终结者》系列10大经典瞬间

Why?: Yet another choice we're not proud of, but there's a disturbing lack of ambition or even competence in its competition - how boring were Rush Hour 2 and Jurassic Park 3? - and Mummy Returns is anything but boring. In fact, it's bat-**** insane and that's kind of what we love about it. Granted, it's not a good movie, but we love it for some of the same reasons we dig Batman & Robin - watching a filmmaker of questionable talent swing for the fences with an unlimited budget can sometimes be fun. Plus, after watching the soul-sucking awfulness of Mummy 3: Rise of the Dragon Who-Gives-a-Crap, we definitely found a new respect for Mummy Returns. Yeah, it's bad, but it's watchable bad, and that makes a big difference.

The competition: Along Came a Spider (4/6); Dr. Dolittle 2 (6/22); Scary Movie 2 (7/4); Jurassic Park III (7/18); Rush Hour 2 (8/3); American Pie 2 (8/10)

 

2002.指环王之双塔奇兵

2002年最佳电影续集《指环王：双塔奇兵》 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (December 18, 2002)
当选理由：明摆着的，别家没的比。波特和星战粉丝表激动，说白了《哈利·波特与密室》和《克隆人的入侵》都是他们各自系列中最烂的一部。而《双塔奇兵》却很好地做到了承上启下，把故事演绎得淋漓尽致。

耍酷必备：007十句经典台词英文原版


Why?: Talk about a no-brainer. Did any of these other movies even have a chance? (Sit down, Potter and Star Wars fans. Chamber and Clones were two of the worst chapters in their respective franchises.) We know that some people debate whether the second "chapter" of a trilogy actually counts as a sequel (particularly since the whole LOTR trilogy was filmed concurrently), but that's all just semantics. Two Towers builds upon Fellowship of the Ring and just expands and improves on everything, which is an accomplishment that can't be ignored. Plus Gollum finally got the bad taste of Jar-Jar out of our collective mouths, so thanks, Peter Jackson.

The competition: Blade II (3/22); Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (5/16); Men in Black II (7/3); Stuart Little 2 (7/19); Austin Powers in Goldmember (7/26); Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (8/7); The Santa Clause 2 (11/1); Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (11/15); Die Another Day (11/22)

2003.指环王之王者归来

2003年最佳电影续集《指环王：王者归来》 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (December 17, 2003)
当选理由：2003年简直是续集年，排名当年前50的里头有13部是续集来着，像《X战警2》和《骇客帝国》续集就是不错的作品，可惜生不逢时撞上史诗般的《指环王》就认了吧。


雷人翻译《博物馆奇妙夜2》中英双语精选台词

Why?: Since we're HUGE Hot Fuzz fans, we really, really wanted to pick Bad Boys 2 as sequel of the year for 2003, but we just couldn't do it. 2003 was a HUGE year for sequels. 13 of the top 50 movies of the year were sequels and there were another five sequels in the top 100. There were a few great moments (X2, bits in the Matrix sequels) and a lot of so-so bombast, but, c'mon, like anything was going to be better than Return of the King. Yes, it had 25 endings and about six too many, but it's going to act as the definition of "epic movie" for the next few decades, so we'll forgive it a few flaws.

The competition: X2: X-Men United (5/2); The Matrix Reloaded (5/15); The Italian Job (5/30); 2 Fast 2 Furious (6/6); Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (6/27); Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde (7/2); Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (7/2); Bad Boys II (7/18); Spy Kids 3D: Game Over (7/25); Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (7/25); American Wedding (8/1); The Matrix Revolutions (11/5)

2004.蜘蛛侠2

2004年最佳电影续集《蜘蛛侠2》 Spider-Man 2 (June 30, 2004)
当选理由：就当没有《蜘蛛侠3》这回事儿好了，《蜘蛛侠2》在超级英雄题材的电影中堪称一绝，而且对于《蜘蛛侠》系列来说很可能这就是一巅峰了。04年的竞争对手也不少，《谍影重重2》和《哈利波特与阿兹卡班的囚徒》质量上乘。但《蜘蛛侠2》的人物形象塑造和超赞的反派角色都使其荣登榜首。


《金刚狼》不是狼！揭示X战警背后的真正面目

Why?: Don't let the bad taste that Spidey 3 left in your mouth taint your memory of this one. Spider-Man 2 is one of the greatest superhero movies ever made and, we're afraid, probably the best Spider-Man movie that we're ever going to get. But there was some stiff competition this year - most notably, a strong Jason Bourne sequel and the best Harry Potter movie to date. (We're not counting Kill Bill 2 since it's just the second half of one whole movie.) However, Spidey 2 still pulls ahead thanks to some amazing action sequences (some of the first to really capture the epic scope of comic book superhero throwdowns), strong character moments, and the franchise's best villain yet. Yes, there are a couple of cheesy bits that foreshadowed the ridiculous tone of Spider-Man 3, but, all in all, there's very little you could improve on in Spider-Man 2, Sam Raimi's best sequel since Army of Darkness.

The competition: Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2/6); Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (3/26); Shrek 2 (5/19); Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (6/4); The Bourne Supremacy (7/23); The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (8/11); Ocean's Twelve (12/10); Meet the Fockers (12/22)

2005.哈利波特与火焰杯

2005年最佳电影续集《哈利波特与火焰杯》 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (November 11, 2005)
当选理由：刚说了《阿兹卡班的囚徒》是波特系列最赞的，但《火焰杯》却当选了05年最佳续集。为嘛咧？《星战之西斯的复活》太烂了；然后还有啥能选的？《午夜凶铃之凶铃再现》还是《电锯2》？《火焰杯》的三位小主角却是宣传到了火候，又加上华丽的龙套比方拉尔夫·费因斯演的邪恶神秘人，自然就是它了。


轻松幽默：歪解好莱坞大明星的土名字

Why?: This one might confuse some people. Star Wars fans try desperately to defend Revenge of the Sith as the best of the prequels and, yeah, even we agree that Prisoner of Azkaban is the best Harry Potter movie. So, why did we go with Goblet of Fire? First, Sith sucked (deal with it, nerds) and, second, what else were we going to pick? The Ring Two? Saw 2? XXX: State of the Union? (Before you check, that one totally didn't make the top 50 of 2005.) And, finally, there's a lot to like in Goblet of Fire. The Tri-Wizard Tournament gives the film a great structure, the school dance sequence really sells the humor of being a teenage wizard, and there are some fantastic supporting turns, first and foremost, the killer Ralph Fiennes as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. It ain't the best Potter, but it's pretty darn good.

The competition: The Ring Two (3/18); Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (5/19); Saw II (10/28); Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (12/21)

2006.碟中谍3

2006年最佳电影续集《碟中谍3》 Mission: Impossible III (May 5, 2006)
当选理由：谁也没想到在扯谈的《碟中谍2》之后，第三部《碟中谍》换了人执导效果会那么不一样。当一切都变得可信的时候，人们就买账了，毫无疑问它是一部很好很强大的动作片，将其它一票著名的续集诸如《冰河世纪2：融化》、《黑夜传说2：进化》、《X战警3：最后的战役》、《赛车风云：东京飘移》、《加勒比海盗：聚魂棺》等等一并斩落马下。


组图上海车展网上看 影视座驾也拉风
 
Why?: Because, after the tripe that was M:I2, did ANYONE actually expect M:I3 to be any good? Hardly. And yet, J.J. Abrams didn't let that stop him from turning his directorial debut into the most engaging, most thrilling, hands-down BEST Mission: Impossible movie yet. And let's not forget that was one of the first Tom Cruise movies to come out post-Oprah couch jumping, so audiences came to see M:I3 expecting to find more blood-in-the-water to feed pop culture's "Cruise is crazy" feeding frenzy. And what did they find instead? They found an Ethan Hunt whom they could sympathize with, whom they liked, whom had believable character motivations, and whom they could root for. That's an amazing accomplishment. Plus the movie kicks ass and has awesome action, so it's win-win.

The competition: Underworld: Evolution (1/20); Big Momma's House 2 (1/27); Ice Age: The Meltdown (3/31); Scary Movie 4 (4/14); X-Men: The Last Stand (5/26); The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (6/16); Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (7/7); Jackass: Number Two (9/22); Saw III (10/27); The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (11/3)

2007.谍影重重3

2007年最佳电影续集《谍影重重3》 The Bourne Ultimatum (August 3, 2007)
当选理由：又是动作片续集混战的一年——蜘蛛侠、加勒比海盗、哈利波特、尖峰时刻、神奇四侠——《谍影重重3》因为《心灵捕手》帅小伙儿大放异彩。这一系列一部比一部做得好，大家都迫不及待要预定第四部的票啦！如果……有的话。


迈克尔·杰克逊出演电影电视 触电全纪录

Why?: Because, in a big year for action - Spider-Man, pirates, Potter, Rush Hour, the Fantastic Four, and the return of John McClane - the genre was owned, OWNED by that skinny kid from Good Will Hunting. How cool is that? The Jason Bourne movies are THE gold standard of modern action films (the new James Bond movies seem more inspired by Bourne than by the legacy of 007) and the franchise seems to get better with every film. Ultimatum greatly improved upon the action in Supremacy (less shaky-cam, more ass-kicking), finally pulled back the curtain on Bourne's past, and did a terrific job of turning what is, essentially, a one-man character study into a pulse-pounding thriller. Announce Jason Bourne 4 and we'll pre-order our tickets today.

The competition: Spider-Man 3 (5/4); Shrek the Third (5/18); Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (5/25); Ocean's Thirteen (6/8); Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (6/15); Live Free or Die Hard (6/27); Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (7/11); Rush Hour 3 (8/10); Saw IV (10/26); National Treasure: Book of Secrets (12/21)

2008.蝙蝠侠前传之黑暗骑士

2008年最佳电影续集《蝙蝠侠前传：黑暗骑士》 The Dark Knight (July 18, 2008)
当选理由：毫无悬念啊毫无悬念。要票房有票房，要口碑有口碑，最棒的超级英雄电影，希斯·莱杰演绎的小丑具有划时代的意义。虽然显而易见，但却实至名归。


疯狂双语《蝙蝠侠前传2:黑暗骑士》小丑经典台词

Why?: Did anyone not see this one coming? Probably one of the best (if not, THE best) superhero movies ever, the second highest-grossing film of all time, a critical and popular smash, and Heath Ledger as the Joker was a revelation. (Did anyone ever think that Jack Nicholson would lose his crown as best Joker ever?) An obvious, but deserving choice.

The competition: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (5/16); Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (5/22); Hellboy II: The Golden Army (7/11); The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (8/1); High School Musical 3: Senior Year (10/24); Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (11/7); Quantum of Solace (11/14)

2009.哈利波特与混血王子

2009年最佳电影续集猜测：会是《哈利波特与混血王子》么 ?
潜在的竞争对手：《黑夜传说：狼族的崛起》、《粉红豹2》、《赛车风云》、《天使与恶魔》、《终结者2018》、《博物馆奇妙夜2》、《变形金刚2》、《冰河世纪3》、《新月》、《艾文与花栗鼠》续集……


吸血鬼《暮色》续集《新月》中的11张新面孔

If we had to guess from what we've seen so far in 2009 and what's coming up between now and December, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (7/15) has a very decent chance to taking the crown for '09.

The competition (so far): Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (1/23); The Pink Panther 2 (2/6); Fast & Furious (4/3); Crank: High Voltage (4/17); Angels & Demons (5/15); Terminator Salvation (5/21); Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (5/22); Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (6/24)

The competition (to come - as scheduled to date): Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (7/1); Final Destination: Death Trip 3D (8/28); Saw VI (10/23); The Twilight Saga: New Moon (11/20); Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel (12/25)
