People saying Aliens is better than Alien are so wrong its not even funny.
Alien is everything that is right about horror films. It perfectly captured a claustrophobic type setting. It actually made you feel like you are in outer space on a ship with an alien on it. The alien itself was extremely overpowered. Its an instant science fiction classic and the character development in that movie was also superb.
Aliens is just an action film. The aliens were fodder. So were the marines. Nothing about that film was scary. That movie was a snoozfest for me. It doesn't hold a candle up to the first imo.
