I'll probably go see T3, but I seriously doubt it can top T2. That movie is godly. 8O 8O 8O
I too thought that T2 was pretty damn fantastic when it first came out. However, I was around 16 at the time and also thought that any band that used at least three chords and dabbled with feedback was "cool".
These days I find something lacking in T2, particularly in comparison to The Terminator, which I think is a classic. I think T2 suffers from being without having the dark, apocalyptic overtones of the first film. Perhaps it's because I'm such a pessimist that I enjoyed Terminator so much more. Yet the film still has resonance today (I'm stretching things here!) - look up from the ground and, somewhere (someday?), on the horizon there's a storm/war coming (god, that sounds like a line from a bad musical).
As for Episode III, let's hope that George is better at writing "Bang!" and "Boom!" than he is at writing romantic dialogue!
