can't agree on Die hard 2 and Aliens, i only liked the original
Die Hard and same with Alien, none of the sequels came close
to the atmosphere of the first one.
Most sequels just give you the same thing on a larger scale
which imho does not always have to be bad.
I enjoyed for example Tomb Raider and the sequel, not because they are good films, but i knew what i whould get and wasn't disappointed at all.
BATMAN looks really interesting, regarding that the comic book it's based on, BATMAN the first year is really one of the best ones and
it should be a welcome step back towards the dark Tim Burton
movies after the two really awful Batman 3 and 4.
anyways all a question of personal taste, i sometimes can't get enough of the same, best example being the whole James Bond
franchise.
