I don't know if you can say one was superior to the other. Superior at what? They were different kinds of movie. T1 was just a thriller about an innocent woman being stalked by an implacable killer; T2 was something else entirely.

It was tidy, though. The entire thing was enclosed in a fixed loop that just went around and around and around and around.

Then in T2, they had to do something new, so they brought up the idea of changing the future. This suddenly makes things a lot messier - suppose they do manage to prevent Judgement Day: where did the three Terminators come from? Skylab never built them. And who was John's father? Obviously, he can't have been a member of the resistance, because there's no resistance and nothing to resist. Was he just some nut?

In T3, they're going to have to come up with something new again, and it'll probably make things worse.
