The real deal

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 1999)

This is one of the best action/sci-fi movies made. With far more action than the original, Aliens is enjoyable throughout. The battle scenes, the marines' "witty" barbs, and the ever annoying Burke - if they're not fighting aliens, they're fighting with each other. Ripley shows she can kick a little tail, too, and doesn't take any guff from anyone.
For fans of the genre, this is a must own film.
