Best of the series

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2008)

This movie far surpasses the original in my opinion. Now for saying that; I'm gonna be bashed by original worshipers and this comment will get "0 out of 8675309 found this comment useful". But, it has to be said: This movie PASSED the original. The story here was quite possibly one of the best I have seen. Throw in the most perfectly played cast you've seen in a while and you get the movie Aliens. Sigourney Weaver returns as Ripley and also returns to the planet that introduced her to the killer alien species only now colonized...for the time being. Michael Biehn plays Cpl. Dwayne Hicks very well, as Biehn always plays great characters in action movies (most memorably Reese in The Terminator). Bill Paxton plays the very cocky but also wimpy Pvt. Hudson very well. As far as FX go, this movie gets an A. Everything looked so real and...well...not fake. This gets a 10/10, fans of Alien who haven't formed a lynch mob to track me down for my first line yet should check this movie out.
