Gotta agree. The same way The Matrix sequels never did it for me. Lack of buildup.

Exactly, just like the Terminator, the first one everyone remembers because they built the tension, but all the sequels failed :P

Wait Terminator 2 is kinda good :p

While I agree on most of what you said, Terminator 2 to me is better than the original. The original was a great story, I just think technology wasn't advanced enough for that kind of CG at the time. T2 is flawless, till this day. This is however just my opinion.
