Leprechaun 4?

I'm guessing you don't mean "film better than T2 that also happens to be a sequel," but rather "sequel that is better than the first film by an amount greater than T2 was over T1."

I haven't seen T1 in a while, so I'm not sure how it would hold up. I want to say it was like a 7/10? And T2 a 10/10?

So, is there a sequel that is more than 3/10 better than the first film?

Inside Out and Bladerunner are both better than 7/10 in the first place, thus their sequels cannot be the answer regardless of how you would rate them.

I've never seen the Twilight films, but wasn't the 2nd one said to be a huge upgrade over the 1st?

Same with Shrek. I never made it through the 1st one, it was so bad.

cars 2. Nothing better than a spy movie where the protagonist is literally a car

I won't go so far as to say this is better than Terminator 2, but Gremlins 2 is such a great sequel. Some people are turned off by the zaniness, but I love how it's basically a parody of unnecessary sequels and that they just swung for the fences with it.

The Two Towers?

Technically a prequel, Mike Flannigan’s Ouija: Origin of Evil far exceeds the original by every measure.

Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, and Blade Runner 2049 would be my picks.

I don't think so, no.

I may say unlike the movies, Terminator Zero Series is very good!. It is animated, but story telling is sooo good there.
