The sequel is better.

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2020)

The first movie in the history is classic enough, and the sequel can surpass the first movie. John connor teleports Reese into the past in terminator 1; Reese and Sarah connor gave birth to John connor, forming a closed loop. The same is true of terminator 2, where skynet transported the t-800 into the past to give humans the terminator chip that inspired skynet's creation. So they're going to find miles dyson and break the cycle. Miles dyson was responsible for inventing skynet and indirectly destroying the world in the parallel universe, where he became a hero protecting humanity at the cost of life. John connor's change of attitude towards his mother is also striking. He always thought his mother was crazy and a loser. Until one day, he found that everything his mother said was true. Skynet made the t-800's central processing unit read-only, preventing it from generating thoughts. Such a soulless killer is willing to end himself in exchange for world peace. Who says machines can't be human? The thumbs-up shot in the flames is one of the most powerful moments in film history.
