T2 might be the more popular "classic" but in absolutely no way was it a better movie than the first Terminator.

Can you argue that it does certain key things a little better like a couple of action scenes and special effects? Sure.

But a better movie altogether? Hell. Fucking. No.

T1 is more thought out, more tense (in general), less insulting to the audience, better acted out, and I would even argue better edited in terms of scene to scene transitions than anything else produced in the franchise or series as a whole. Fuck outta here with that T2 is better nonsense.

To be fair though: T2 is still a fun movie that's a great ride in general. A better follow-up, I don't think you could have ever expected considering the direction hollywood was starting to move in.
