Well, this thing is kinda cool. Some misanthropists without taste always wanted to spread the clichè that sequels can't live up to the original. Straight nonsense. Why? Well, they're not meant to!
Whatever, in this movie we get a glimpse of what a fighter Lt. Ellen Ripley is, and Weaver plays the part of her lifetime quite well. In fact, she, Lance Henriksen and those Aliens are the only reason to watch this. As far as I can remember, Michael Biehn gives us again his best Kyle Reese impersonation (like he does in every movie after T1), the villain here is just a corporate scumbag who isn't very interesting. Worth seeing? Yes. More than once? Well, maybe twice.
