Terminator 1 isn't anywhere near as good as Terminator 2. Terminator 2 was a revelation when it came out. Good acting, good character development, extremely spectacular and unusually well-integrated special effects, some social commentary to boot. Terminator 1 was...well, it was a B movie that was suprrisingly decent, especially considering Arnold was practically the kiss of death for a movie back then.

You shouldn't have included the original either.

T2 was one of the better movies of the 90's. The special effects were out of the box for its time, and it actually had a good written story. T-1 was neat because they showed more scenes of the future L.A..

2. Up there with Rocky II and The Godfather II as one of the greatest sequels made

You've got to be kidding about Rocky II being in the same league as Godfather II. It's also WAY below Rocky I, which was a classic.

This is the most surprising poll I have seen. I HATED the terminator as a good guy.

I'm really surprised. T1 was good and all, but T2 was just a great action movie. I could watch this movie over and over, I don't think you can say that about T1.

I can. I have seen T1 probably 100 times, while I have seen T2 like 3 or 4. T1 was more suspense/action/horror (just a great atmospheric feel to it), while T2 is just action and big explosions and whatnot. T2 is a good flick, but T1 is a masterpiece.

Edit- I am willing to bet that the results of the poll are heavily influenced by age. 30+ posters are likely to have seen T1 in the theatre or soon after (when T2 didn't exist), while the younger folks saw T2 first after the huge marketing blitz.

I'm old and I voted for T2. OG just doesn't hold up well at all. I agree it has a better story, but it looks so cheesy when I watch it now that it's distracting.
