It's much better. I'd be very interested in the opinion of people who only saw them both after the fact.

Terminator 2
Aliens
I love Terminator and Alien but I thought the action element resonated with me more than suspense/horror.
*Good movies, fairly modest box office, but people were absolutely interested when they saw the franchise return. Mostly because the first film established a very interesting world or premise that you'd want to explore more.
A lot of the replies are spot on, I'd mention:
Rambo First Blood Pt 2.
First Blood was good, probably even a better movie, but very niche and overlooked. The sequel turned him into an 80's action superhero that everyone knew.

Solid choice but I must go with The Fatties: Fart 2.

I agree with this. SM2 was great .
"Let me give you a hand"
"I'm going to be the better man and WALK away, I said Walk away".
Chris Elliot was so good in that.

Blade 2
T2 is a good popcorn action movie, but it's dumbed down and has action sequences and cheesy one liners.
But I guess that's why a lot of people like it more.

Agreed - lower budget (obviously) notwithstanding (and I'll even agree that T2 is much more fun and rewatchable), the OG Terminator is a great, great film. I would likely push back against those arguing T2 is "better". They are almost as different as Alien and Aliens are different.
Folks saying Aliens is more fun and rewatchable? Sure. I can sign on to that. Better than Alien? Hogwash.
(ETA: Earlier in the thread I put both of these in the "as good" category for those reasons - fun, rewatchability - and to reaffirm they did not exceed the originals. Alien - like Blade Runner - is a masterpiece almost without peer. Horror movies are rarely in the prestige category and if you had to name one - I think Alien is it. OG Terminator helped usher in the era of action movies as blockbuster instead of b-picture.)

Excellent choice. It ran circles around the first one

Terminator 2 yes, Aliens no. Not that Aliens isn't a good movie, but the original Alien is about as perfect of a sci-fi film as you can get, especially given the time it was made. The sfx were amazing.

Well, that settles it then. Of course a guy who is in the 2nd but not the 1st thinks the 2nd is better.
I like Next Friday better than Friday.

Sorry, but K has a better arc than Deckard does and is a better character overall.
Eh, he's just a Deckard knock-off. But Deckard wasn't really the point. It was a cool adaptation of a Dick novel with groundbreaking visuals way ahead of its time, groundbreaking music, Harrison Ford at the peak of his magnetism (and I like Gosling, but he's not on that level) and one of the best villains in modern cinema history played by Rutger Hauer at his best. 2049 is a decent sci-fi that would have probably gone straight to streaming if it didn't have "Blade Runner" in the title.

Captain America: Winter Soldier
This movie held its own a great spy film, not just a superhero flick.

For as good as Dune was, I think Dune 2 was even better.
