    Drezzy100 - Personally, I think this one is better than the original. James Cameron knows how to pace an action film, the cast is perfect, and the special effects still hold up today.

    Steve Habrat95 - Cameron's Aliens smartly builds upon Ridley Scott's classic while leaving its own fingerprint on the franchise.

    Usman Ashraf90 - This is an interesting follow up to the original. Whereas the original was more of a psychological thriller with this one alien taking out each human with stealth and ease, this sequel is all action with packs of aliens coming up against humans head on. It's different from the original, but it's also a lot more fun!

    Bryan Lienesch87 - From its scope to its imagination to its just overall sense of purpose, James Cameron's sequel is SO much better than Ridley Scott's first installment.
