Sequel better than original

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2001)

One of the very few times a sequel is better than the original film, but Aliens succeeds in being a action filled sci-fi story with a brain. Sigourney Weaver provides a tough female hero in her strong performance as Ripley. Her difficulty dealing with the events of Alien and her determination to destroy these aliens make her enjoyable to watch. The film is a must see for anyone who likes sci-fi or action, and will be at least enjoyable to those not familiar with sci-fi as well.
