The thing is though that if you watch this movie right after watching the first one it's just hilariously not as good. It makes me sad that it got a better review on here than the first one. The attention to detail, the pacing, even the dialogue is just simply not as magnificently put together as the original. It is a fun watch though and should be considered a classic. Just simply not better than the first one. Expand

As an action film there are few better than Aliens, but a a sequel to Alien it hugely disappoints. There are few actual scares, of course there are thrilling action sequences, but nothing like the original nerve shredding moments in Alien. ItAs an action film there are few better than Aliens, but a a sequel to Alien it hugely disappoints. There are few actual scares, of course there are thrilling action sequences, but nothing like the original nerve shredding moments in Alien. It also destroys the representation of the Alien itself. We barely see it in Alien and when we do we are terrified for the characters and the threat of the Alien coming back to Earth is actually scary. In Aliens the creatures are mere cannon fodder, only in large numbers can the be intimidating. As action movie Aliens reigns supreme but as a sci fi or horror its older brother Alien is the one to watch. Expand

Siempre he escuchado decir que Aliens es mejor que su predecesora, en lo personal no le llega ni a la sombra, no es una mala película, al contrario es una de las mejores, pero decir que supera a la primera Alien no estoy de acuerdo.

Not as good as first film but still good. Acting solid, plotting mostly engaging but less thrilling.

Nowhere as good or suspenseful as the first "Alien" film, but the acting is good, and the effects are okay, but still not as good. Bill Paxton is hilarious in this one.

The final "battle" sums it up what's wrong with this film.... Bigger isn't always better

Gemessen am ersten Teil und ohne Nostalgiebrille oder den damaligen Zeitgeist, ist dieser Teil der Alien-Reihe um Welten schlechter als der erste Ableger.

Jeglicher Horror und Spannung wird durch die schiere Überzahl an offensichtlich leicht zu beseitigenden Aliens im Keim erstickt. Einzig das gut gestaltete Umgebungsdesign lässt noch einen Hauch der Qualität erahnen, die 7 Jahre zuvor auf den Bildschirmen zu sehen war.

Dennoch gute schauspielerische Leistung und grandioses Sounddesign

I can't understand why people love so much this dumb action movie (it has the same score as the original Alien, which is a masterpiece, WTF!). Also, I hate the fake metal devices that looks like cardboard.
