I would say it’s on par with the original. They are both such different movie experiences. T2 is the ultimate fun “popcorn” hit while the original Terminator was really gritty and disturbing, almost horror film.
The T2 film/live show that was made for Universal Studios was also excellent & could loosely be considered the real T3. They got the whole cast & James Cameron back to direct
Loved T1 when I saw it after it hit video but was kind of disappointed with T2. it was decent but I was looking for something else other than the same time travel storyline
One of the rare times a sequel is better than the original.

Eh, T2 is pretty great, all time great in fact, but, you have to admit, it's so much more hollywood than the 1st...for me, the 1st is still tops.
Godfather 2 also falls into this category.
Aliens.
Or more recently , The Raid 2
The CG was also groundbreaking when it came out. Preceeded Jurassic Park.

Top of the sequel list!
Watch it at least once a month what an awesome movie
In the words of Timothy Olyphant in Scream 2:
Can’t go wrong with James Cameron.
The original Terminator was way better!
I remember seeing it at the movies when I was a young. Excellent all around.
