Aliens, the ultimate COMBAT MOVIE!

Rating: Null/10 (12 September 2004)

I read a lot of comments here and I was so pleased to see that most of the people here enjoyed this movie as much as I do. Until I read some that insulted Cameron or James Horner of being untalented people... well I must raise here a big point that even Cameron raised before he released this movie: Aliens is NOT a remake of Ridley Scott's Alien! It's not meant to be an atmospheric thriller with lots of mysteries and shots that strangely looked like 2001, it's meant to be a COMBAT MOVIE! Like said in the preview: THIS TIME, IT'S WAR! And it is just great the way it is! I mean, yeah the first one was beautiful, I loved it. I liked all the mysteries and the fact that we never clearly see the creature. But hey, just one is enough! We didn't need a 2nd one. That's why Cameron majistically exploited the Alien theme on a more action level. And that is just wonderful! I mean, this is great, this is big, this is full of credibility and the visual effects are just astonishing. How can anyone dare to complain about this movie? This is a masterpiece, a huge work of art! Just watch the special features in the Alien Quadrilogy DVD edition and see all the time, energy and effort these people brought to this movie, and you'll just fall on your knees and say "Thank you James Cameron". If you can find anything to complain about it means you just don't understand this movie... I read somewhere that someone was saying: James Horner needs a dictionary and look at the word "Atmospheric"... well I'll just say the same about you guys: Take a godamn dictionary and look at the words "Action" "Combat" and "War"... maybe you'll understand.
