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!

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
