Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2000)

Alien was an excellent film. Aliens was good too, but it's a completely different movie. While Alien was a film about one alien hunting human, Aliens was a film about umpteen humans hunting umpteen aliens - pure no-brainer action.
This film goes back to the roots of the series, and has Ripley & co. fighting one single alien. Once again it's more like the alien is hunting the humans than the humans hunting the alien, the way it's supposed to be. Now they even have to defend themselves against the alien without weapons... This film is much more frightening than the second Alien movie, and is a very good film by David Fincher. It deserves more and better credit. And the ending is breathtaking and excellent!
This film has about everything; great story, great suspense, great acting and a great ending. The only thing not so great is the music, seeming a bit bombastic at times...
8/10
