I'm hard on Chrono Trigger too, it's just not that great. Visuals, audio, sure total RPG SNES blowouts but the plot gets tiresome only second to the gameplay. I've never been able to tolerate it any further than the mountains with the floating rock/chain boss pretty much. I'm not saying it's bad at all, it's just overrated, the most overrated RPG on the system.

Also sometimes that second movie isn't as good (Temple of Doom) but the threequel blows out the original (Last Crusade.) But there are other second of the line that aren't sequential stories like Star Trek Wrath of Khan even if it rolls end to start to end...etc through #3 and 4, it stands alone unbound to the original and very good against the others. Debatable but Back to the Future 2 gets solid nods as being the nicest of those as well not that any of them are a slouch. I see MMX (ugh) series brought up, but MM2 many still feel of the old 8bit games is the best of the lot and far nicer than the original.
