I find Aliens to be overrated. Doesn't hold a candle to the first, which remains the best. Aliens started to turn the franchise into a joke and the only piece of media to do the original justice is the game Alien Isolation.

There were some cool ideas in Aliens but it just isn't executed in a good way. In fact you can probably say that for every Alien movie after the original.

Yeah, I don't know, Aliens didn't leave the same impact with me like the original did. I can't explain it.

The trouble is with the Marines from what I can see. They went from cautious trying to do a job like in the first one, to trigger happy american lug nuts straight out of Apocalypse Now, turning it into more of an action movie over horror. It's a bit of a departure from what was set in the first.

It's a bit of a departure from what was set in the first. I mean, Cameron said it was "parodying Vietnam" but that doesn't really work since most of the soldiers there were drafted. The "MURICA YEAH" people were a vocal minority. Also, it doesn't excuse the shit writing. So apparently the bullets they were all equipped with would have blew the entire place up which why they switched to flame throwers. But later on they use the same bullets and......everything is fine? Also, I have to LOL at Xenomorphs getting shot up like paper mache piΓ±atas. Great effects work there..

Yeah, the trouble is that parody incorporates an "action" esque tone to the movie, shifting it from being more horror based like the first, it also added way too much humor as well that could've been better left out. As for the writing, well it speaks for itself.

The Loader/Queen Alien scene is a fantastic idea and could've worked with more of a tension/horror build up.
