William Hope shows his talent in this film

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 1998)

James Cameron,the man who revolutionized the science fiction cinema with Terminator,directs the sequence for Ridley Scott's Alien,following the genre's primer,and converts the second one into a typical action show,stuffed with the best special-effects money can buy.In the originality query,the film doesn't function,however,it achieves a better quality than the first one,when we compare both in entertainment terms.With thrilling and tense scenes,the film is a good option for those people who want to have fun without bigger interest.Aliens is just another big production,whose job is to make money in the box-office,not to innovate,like the first,and it's exactly this difference between the two movies that allowed the second one a better box-office.Beyond the action scenes,there is also the great job of Sigourney Weaver and William Hope,an excellent,competent and talented not known actor.As the lieutenant,he proves he is a spectacular interpreter and that he deserves a better chance in the cinema.Two years after Aliens,William Hope took part in the cast of the shocking Hellbound and made one of the most violent,courageous and well-known scenes of the cinema,where Clare Higgins quashes his nape and sucks his blood through his mouth.
