terminator 1 or 2  ?

I prefer the original movie.

I much prefer Terminator 1, I like its dark horror tone and Arnie is much better as the villain, I also like Kyle Reese as well. Terminator 2 was terribly overrated imo, I didn't like Arnie as the good guy or the fact they made it for teens basically and watered it down, Terminator 1 by far.

1 of course.  2 was as good a second movie in a movie series as there has ever been with the exception of Empire Strikes Back, maybe Aliens, both of which I would rank above it.  

But between the two, 1 was the superior movie.  2 was more of just an action movie.  Sure, it was a GOOD action movie, but 1 was a sci fi/horror/action/thriller.  With Arnold as the emotionless bad guy, the protagonists always seemed overmatched and vulnerable.

Terminator 1, that kid screaming like a girl in T2 drives me nuts.

Terminator 2.                               

Hands down Terminator 1. 

Both are awesome but i prefer 2
