The worst sequel is the entirely unrelated cash grab with none of the original cast, writers or director.

The second worst is the rehash of the previous movie.

The best is a logical continuation of the story.

Caddyshack 2 is the first kind, any Friday the 13th after 3 is the second and Aliens is the third and best kind.
@judgedread My most hated is the comedy sequel that has exceeded the lifespan of the humor from the original. Once you pass a certain amount of time (10-15 years) it's near impossible to make a good comedy sequel, it's just old hat. See Anchorman 2, Dumb and Dumber 2.
@arm_barbarian I suspect it's inherent to comedy that sequels are almost impossible, whatever the timing. Police Academy was the longest series of comedy sequels I know of and even the first one is an unfunny piece of shit!

There is, as far as I know, no comedy Empire Strikes Back or Godfather 2 - a sequel that is widely regarded as superior to the first in the series.
