My favorite movie of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2003)

The second installment, Aliens, has the best of everything: action, horror, comedy, drama, and a hint of romance. I was blown away when I saw this movie, and the special edition with restored scenes is even better. I lost count of how many times I have seen this movie and it is definitely my favorite. This movie has an amazing cast, with each character being memorable. Perhaps the most memorable character is played but Bill Paxton, who has some of the best lines in the movie next to Sigourney Weaver. I also became a big fan of Michael Biehn after this movie (and of course remembering him in Terminator). It wasn't until Titanic came out and everyone was talking about James Cameron and his past movies that I realized I am a fan of his as well. The Terminator movies, True Lies, the Abyss, and now Titanic are some of my favorites. It therefore does not surprise me that the second of the Alien films is my favorite. The third was dreadful and the fourth had amazing potential but fell short (I will review these also.) If you want to be entertained on all levels, this is the movie for you! Don't rent it, buy it, because I guarantee you will want to see it again and again.
