Whenever you see a sequel for a movie you liked is in the works, it's a fine balance between being excited to see more of what you enjoyed and praying they don't just phone it in — as sequels so often do.
But every now and then, there's a sequel that not only meets the quality and reception of its predecessor(s) but exceeds them. Case in point: the first sequel to win an Oscar when the original didn't even get a single nomination.
