It's a strategy which ultimately leaves the first film to be incomplete, unsatisfying and leave dangling threads. In fact, if a film can't stand up on it's own, it doesn't deserve a sequel.

Interesting. I tend to agree, but.......
what about the uber obvious examples of, say, Fellowship of the Ring or Empire Strikes Back. The films are incomplete, and leave dangling threads, by design. While both films are immensely enjoyable on their own, they can't "stand on their own" as they are parts of a larger story.
I'm probably getting into semantics as to what it means for a film to stand on its own.
