Godzilla: King of the Monsters
The pacing is the exact opposite of the first film and it's a fun as fuck rollercoaster ride of epic kaiju battles.
Mothra vs Rodan was pure.
I'm actually really bummed out that I listened to critics and never saw it in theaters.

I preferred the first one. The sequel was goofy in a bad way.Godzilla: King of the Monsters

The problem is the sequel was actually for Godzilla FANS and Godzilla fans wear adult diapers so it makes sense that a film that catered to them was goofy.
I liked the first one much better as well. The first one felt a lot like Jaws.
My answer is Infinity War.

ITT where people cannot even be bothered to read the title.
And my answer is no.

VHS 2 is arguably better than the first, I think both are excellent and I waver back and forth as to which is my favourite, but most people agree the cult segment from the second one is the most epic thing that franchise ever did. I think the framing narrative segments in the second movie are a lot creepier as well.

No way.
Felt like a confused sterile mess compared to the ugly dirty awesomeness that was the first movie.

Isn't that the fourth movie in that series?
But yes, it's better than its predecessors.

There's a load of Blum House movies like Annabelle Creation that were better than their previous entries, but since OP has arbitrarily excluded studios with a consistent output of titles like that, I guess they wouldn't count.
Honestly I think this shows there's just fewer stand alone movies that get sequels, but aren't then spun off into series these days.
If something does well, expect multiple entries and possible inclusion into a shared universe, rather than just one, maybe two further entries that are years, even decades apart, like their used to be.

If you count them as individual movies, Berserk: The Golden Age Arc. First one is pretty mediocre. Second (and third) improved the animation significantly.

OP asks for better, not far worse.

I haven't seen Cars 3 actually but all the other 3 were far worse than their predecessor, Sicario 2 being the worst offender.

Trainspotting 2 was utter gash, like abysmally bad.
The first one is legendary.

Dark Knight certainly, Batman Begins had a lot of things, set a good foundation, Bruce preparing, partnering with Lucius, Gordon etc. Joker made things way more fun than ever and people forget it's the second movie in the Nolan trilogy.

Cars 3 isn't as good as cars but it is better than cars 2.
Parabellum is the same as cars 3 in that the original is better but not the predecessor.
How to train your dragon 1 really disappointed me. Its read the books too my son as he was growing up and the film is nothing like them, but by the time the second one rolled around it felt like a completely different series and I enjoyed it more. Hidden world is probably better again.
Siccario 2 just clicked as a better story to me.

Better than Thunderdome sure but better than The Road Warrior? Put the crack pipe down.
Max was almost a side character in his own movie.

As likely the biggest BR fan on the board. I wouldn't say BR2049 is necessarily better than the original, but it's a decent sequel to a film that didn't necessarily require one.
