I think for most critics/fans two that come to mind would be Blade Runner 2049 and Bill and Ted 3. Are there any other ones that could join those two?

Yeah, both Blade Runner 2049 and Fury Road are up there. Throwing in The Force Awakens as well. The Jumanji sequels are both far better than they had any business being too.

I'm a little hesitant to say The Force Awakens because of it being a safe, familiar sequel. It would be more worthy and earned of being called one of the best if it were more original. So I'd say it's more like an honorable mention.

Psycho II and Psycho III. Those aren't recent. Recent would be like in the last 10 years.

Toy Story 3 arrived 11 years later and it was really damn good.

They've all been terrible. If there's been a good one, I can't think of it.

Don't know if it counts for the purposes of this thread given that it's from 2011 and therefore not particularly recent, but I consider Scream 4 to be the best sequel in that series.

Psycho II and Psycho III. Yes, I was going to put both Psycho sequels, even though they are hardly new, as ck100 said. "Psycho 2" is good, a solid ***1/4 from this queen. And a performance from Anthony Perkins worthy of an Oscar nomination. "Psycho 3" is off the beaten path, not great, but I thought it was pretty fun. **1/2 And then there's Diana Scarwid, who out-weirds Norman. "THERE IS NO GOD!"I smell a new signature. |

Blade Runner 2049
I don't consider Mad Max: Fury Road a sequel. It seems more like a reboot to me. There is nothing that really connects it to the OT besides that it is about Mad Max in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

There are other, better examples - many of them already listed - but this is as good a time as any to mention I just watched Universal Soldier: Regeneration and it was way better than you'd expect for the fifth entry of a 20 year old JCVD franchise. Kinda like The Raid set in Chernobyl with supersoldiers.
