I've explained it before, but the whole subplot with John trying to humanize the T-1000 doesn't work for me. Things like Arnold cracking jokes, being sarcastic, and that the movie tries to be too funny when it doesn't need to be. Also as much as like much as I like Robert Patrick, I still thing the dynamic between Kyle Reese and Arnold in the first movie makes for a better movie. Then of course there's the relationship between Reese and Conner, which is a real absence in the sequel.
It's also just a matter of tastes as to whether one prefers Terminator and Alien or Terminator 2 and Aliens. Sure the action in the sequels is better, but I think as a movie nothing beats the gritty, more effective (suspenseful, yet terrifying) originals. They don't need the quips, one liners, explosions, and jokes to be great.
T2 and Aliens are 4 1/2 star movies for me, but still they're not quite perfect. That being said I would watch them any day of the week, but in a way they're just two of the best popcorn movies.
