This sequel has a different formula than its predecessor. A little less horror and a lot more action. It remains just as awesome though.
This movie excels in many ways the first movie didn’t, one of the few sequels that surpasses the original in terms of filmmaking.
One of the best sequels out there! Turned a scary movie series into an a$$ kicking action one! One of my fav movies ever!
Not as good as the first one, but still very good.
Is there anything to say that hasn’t already been said? This is one of the most important sci fi action movies of all time. Go watch it
Great sequel but nothing beats the first movie. Still better than the third movie.
I do prefer the first but this one is great as well, with an expanded backstory and the addition of the Colonial Marines. Game over, man
This is the first R-rated movie I'd ever seen, and I loved every second of it.
Love all the alien movies. I marathon them at least twice a year.. Along with the predator movies and AvP aswell. Gotta watch em all.
Because the main character is a woman who is badass.
