Similar thing with the first two Terminator movies. Cameron had a low budget for the first one, so it became a sort of techno-horror movie with limited special effects.
Now of course T2 was awesome, but you can tell Cameron had a much bigger budget because of the far higher number of chase things, shit blowing up and T1000 shapeshifting that’s in the movie.
While T2 is inarguably the franchises most iconic film, many diehard fans still prefer the original.
