Movies Legacy Sequels that became Classics

[Majora Fi]

This concept of reviving dead franchises where they left off isn't new, but after accumulating a pile of disappointments since the last decade (Tron Ares, Matrix Resurrections and Blade Runner 2049 among others), I wondered which legacy sequels were successful and which became classics like their predecessors.

All I can think about is Fury Road.

Top Gun Maverick.
Its not old enough to call a classic but its an instant classic in my book.

Does Tom Cruise carry the film?

He's good, but no. I think it doesnt need him to carry it.

When I hear people talk about the movie, the praise focuses more on an old man trying to show the younger gen that he’s still a winner.

Literally all of the attempts I have seen were bad. But I don't want to make it about that since you asked the opposite. The Blade Runner movie wasn't that bad ig. I need to rewatch it maybe.

It came out about 12 years after the previous film.

I thought Ryan Gosling's arc was really good but once he met Deckard, he lost the spotlight entirely and died like a nobody (even though the movie tried hard to deny that).

No trailer gave me that impression, so I didn't even watch it.

While not perfect, I honestly enjoyed the "Creed" movies and they felt a lot more like a sequel compared to the sixth "Rocky" movie.
