Best. Sequel. Ever.

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2003)

Better than "Godfather II", "Terminator 2", or even "Empire Strikes Back", "Toy Story 2" is quite possibly the best sequel ever made. It takes the boundaries of the original movie and pushes them back as far as the eye can see. The characters are more rounded and more believable, their problems are incredibly mature and universal, and the heart that the first movie had is still preserved.
I still remember watching this gem for the first time in the theater with my sister. We were nervous - could a sequel to "Toy Story" possibly be any good? About an hour and a half later, we came out of the theater, grinning ear to ear.

I mean, anyone who doesn't get teary-eyed at "When She Loved Me" must not have a soul. It's that sad. There was one part of the movie, right before the gang got out of the apartment building, where I said to myself, "If they chase Jessie all the way to the airport, this will officially be the most fun I've ever had watching a movie." And you know what? They DID.
