Aliens 1986

This is one of the best sequels out there in film franchises. It is rare that you get a sequel to a film considered one of the best in their genre which is considered exactly on the same level. I mean, Godfather I & II seems like a similar situation. Somehow I'm at the same place with this one as I am with those though, I prefer the first just slightly more. Like .001 difference.

I think my favorite thing about this sequel is Bishop. They do such a good job using your experience from the first film to influence how you interact with the new robot character. Also, adding in a lot of action compared to last time is a great choice. Often times the plan is always to just replicate what worked well previously, but instead they know they can't slowly reveal what the alien looks like anymore. Instead just ramp it up a few more notches baby!
