Personal opinion: none of em

Classic films like Godfather, Goodfellas have sense of novelty. An originality which their sequels simply arent not able to capture its magic. But thats not to say every sequel are atrocious. In my opinion, its simply...an exercise in futility for cash-grab

I generally an super cautious abt sequels unless its the same director, cast & technicians. Just how many atrocious sequels we've had over the years (Amazing Spiderman 2, Smurfs 2, Thor 2, Jack Reacher 2, Terminator & Transformer sequels gosh the list goes)

All those films you listed hold-up quite well (except 2003 Matrix Revolutions) & I dont think they need sequels. They're unique cuz they're great stand-alone films.

A competent film-maker should be able to craft most importantly a good stand-alone film which holds its own based upon its merits (direction, plot, techinical aspects, cast, acting etc). NOT making whimsical multiverse, sequel
