i preferred t1, for several reason -
1. t1 was extremely funny, in an ironic and satirical way - t2 & 3 were just 'gags' playing on humor set up in the original
2. 'i'll be back' is from the first film, and i think so is 'come with me if you wanna live'. i've never felt the need to say 'hasta la vista baby' and felt it was said to be quoted.
3. t1 ended the film, with the photograph, it once again established the time continum that sent the terminator back in the first place. 2 just threw the time thing into a wierd paralell universe: ie if sarah connors had stopped the terminator being built and really started on a new road, there would have been no need for 3 (which i think can be convincingly argued in any case), also reese wouldn't have been sent back and john would never have been born, in which case the machines would have risen etc... (headache time)
4. i found the sequences in 2 & 3 overdone
5. cough, um, how can the terminator who was the principal subject of three films and defeated all opponents not be the coolest?
6. so does the tx
7. i hated that the terminator became good. why? so unnnescessary to the original storyline. one of the key themes of the original was that human kind can overcome astounding odds to survive - why waste it?
sorry, forgot - mr scwartzenegger wanted to be the good guy. yawn, sorry, govenor scwartzenegger, my bad.

i loved the original and was horrified when they made the sequel - even more so when i had seen it. it was a great story - with a begining, a middle and an end - that finished the time loop. i feel it should have been left alone.
