The question of whether a sequel surpasses an original has long fuelled film debates. But while some sequels are celebrated, most are labelled ‘diminishing returns’.

In this illustrated talk, film journalist Matt Goddard will journey through the storied history of cinematic sequels, and how it has inspired legendary debates that film lovers can’t resist.
