I recently ranked the Terminator movies from worst to first and asked you readers to pitch in with your own opinions on the matter.  For the most part, we were all in agreement.  But readers disagreed with my top pick.  Let’s see how the readers ranked the Terminator movies.

5. Terminator Salvation
Readers agreed with me that McG’s Terminator reboot, Salvation, was a chore to endure.  Almost half of readers named it as their least favorite movie.  The highest anyone ranked it was third place.  87% of readers placed the ironically titled Salvation in their bottom 2.
Schwarzenegger - Terminator Genisys
4. Terminator Genisys
This summer’s Terminator Genisys fared a little better in fourth place.  The movie was helped by the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger, having a sense of humor and a name that is impossible to remember how to spell.  No one picked Genisys as their favorite Terminator and 46% picked it as their least favorite movie.  Two readers actually picked it as their second favorite movie which means that two people picked Genisys over a movie directed by James Cameron!  80% of readers ranked Genisys in their bottom 2.

3. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Smack dab in the middle, the readers and I ranked T3: Rise of the Machines.  Which is appropriate because everything about this movie screams “middle of the road”.  No one named T3 as their top pick, but two of you named it as your least favorite movie in the series.  The majority, 74%, ranked it in the middle.
Furlong - Terminator 2
2. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
This is where the readers and I broke ranks.  I had picked T2 as the best in the series.  Readers gave it second place.  But it’s okay.  I have in the past ranked the original Terminator above the sequel.  Both movies are good for what they are.  It just depends on what type of movie you are in the mood for.
No one picked T2 as their least favorite movie, but it did receive one fourth place vote.  Everyone else had it in one of their top two positions.  Almost 43% of readers agreed with me that the sequel was the best movie in the sci-fi series.  But that wasn’t enough to claim the top spot which went to…

1. The Terminator
Readers preferred the original movie despite the low budget production values which is understandable.  The sequel suffers from a premise that becomes less plausible every time you reuse it – an inherent flaw in the entire franchise which has yet to be remedied.  The first movie told the only story their was to tell which helps to explain why even with cheap special effects, it will always be a lot of viewer’s favorite.
Like T2, no one picked the original as their least favorite movie.  2 readers ranked it in fourth place and 94% had it in their top two.  With 57% of the first place votes, The Terminator was able to fend off all the sequels.
As always, thanks to everyone who participated.  If you haven’t already done so, make sure you rank the Rocky movies.  I will be sharing the results soon.
