"Get Away From Her You BITCH!"

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2001)

Wow, this was an awesome sequel! It's the Third best sequel ever made (the other two being the godfather 2 and the color of money). The special effects have out-done themselves in this movie (there are different types of aliens in this one).
I don't think that the the two sequels can be compared, because they are totally different. This one offered loads of action, while 'Alien' gave us loads of suspense. There are more interesting weapons and gadgets, but I kind of wish the alien drones were a little tougher, like in the first one.
Ah yes, and lets not forget Sigourney Weaver, the *BEST* female action star ever. She puts a whole meaning to the word 'action star'. The best and most thrilling scene in this movie, or for that matter, in all Sci-Fi movies, was the show down between the Queen Alien and Ripley in the fork lift (which has been futilely imitated many times). This was the best fight in Sci-Fi movies ever. This fight also spawned a very memorable catch phrase, seen above

So in closing, this is not really a sequel to 'Alien' because the two movies are nothing alike, they both have great qualities, but in incomparable ways. Watch it Sci-Fi fans, ya won't be disappointed! 9/10
