Good and best...

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2005)

Aliens is one of my all-time favourite films, though the directors cut is much better - the characters are given more depth, the story is slightly smoother flowing, and there are some nice extra gadgets and touches here and there.
So if for Aliens I vote 10 for Aliens special editing I guess I have to give the special editing 11 out of 10. Awesome film.
Alien was a great film - but pure horror - there something behind you in the dark stuff. This was one of the best films to prove a sequel doesn't have to follow the same formula to progress the story. In this film you know the monsters are out there and nasty. You just don't know how the good guys will make it out of there... or maybe they can't...
9.5/10 horror film + 10/10 sci-fi film + 10/10 action-adventure + 0/10 slushy love story.
