This movie is great!

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2003)

I was a little reluctant about watching "Aliens" when I rented it because I'm not really a fan of movies of this genre. But I did watch it and I was hooked! This is the greatest "monster" movie ever made! It was a little creepy, but not scary. I loved all the characters, especially Pvt. Hudson. Bill Paxton is great. Everyone had some great lines to utter. But I did think that many of the marines died too early on in the film. Sigourney Weaver is such a great actress. She ruled as the tough as nails Ripley. The bond between her and Newt was sweet and very charming to watch. I loved the action in this film. The scenes where everyone was shooting the aliens left and right kept you on the edge of your seat. I think the only character I didn't like was Burke (Paul Reiser). He was a jerk! Whenever Ripley got attacked by that crablike alien that nearly chokes her to death and he turned off the camera when she was crying for help made me want to spit at the TV at him. I hated his character! I'm sorry but I was glad he died. Probably the greatest scene was at the end where Ripley was fighting the Alien Queen. Man has she got some balls! (Ripley that is). "Aliens" is definitely a scifi classic and any fan of this genre should see it. Thanks for reading my review.
