The fact that people love T2 (a typical Hollywood action flick with no soul) over the original Terminator makes me a sad panda.

The key word is FAR better.

The only one to qualify so far is "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan"!

Many of the movies mentioned are slightly better, but not far better.

hijack alert:
I have a better question: name a series that had 2 great movies and they didnt make a third (for example, T1 and T2 before T3 was announced).
