Ok my little thing on sequels.

They tend to suck if they dont further the story or characters somehow. ROTLA introduced us. TLC showed us his fear of snakes, origin of his name, whip, dress code, and his relationship with his father, along with good ol' Indy action.

TOD just had action.

Look at the Mummy, the 2nd one showed more about the main guy whatevery his name was. It explained the mark on his arm etc.
StarWars, every movie brought us something new to the world, and not just another adventure.

That was what was wrong with Conan the Destroyer. The Barbarian showed us his origins, how he learned to fight, how he got strong, his sword etc. The destroyer was just a mindless adventure. Fun to watch, but not living up to the full glory.

So in short. Sequels need to show us something new and develop the characters.
