T2 has to be No.1!
Without strife, your victory has no meaning.
Without strife, you do not advance.
Without strife, there is only stagnation.

Terminator 2
-everything else

T2

I choose not to acknowledge the existence of any other films in this franchise.

T2 is a whiny, bratty little **** with a bad haircut and worse acting.
Overrated.
T3 is better.

T1: Instant classic. Dark sci-fi horror
T2: Good, but cheesy. Hasta la vista, baby?
Terminator Genisys: Hilarious comedy!
T3: Another hilarious comedy. Talk to the hand!
Terminator Salvation: A big bowl of nothing
Terminator Dark Fate: Heinous woke garbage /unintentionally hilarious comedy

This is perfectly said.
Never lose your desire.

the terminator franchise is like the alien franchise.
you have 1 and 2, and then everything else basically isn't canon.
1 is like a horror sci fi masterpiece and 2 is the thrill ride.
depending on your mood, the placement is interchangeable.

Furst is the best. T2 is good, but not as good. T2 is the basic bitch favorite. T1 is more atmospheric and tense. 3rd was bad, but kind of enjoyable. I saw Salvation in the theater and enjoyed it, but it was meh, and mostly forgettable. That and Genisys are tied and both mediocre and forgettable. Haven't seen Dark Fate.
