Roger Ebert

The movie is so intense that it creates a problem for me as a reviewer: Do I praise its craftsmanship, or do I tell you it left me feeling wrung out and unhappy?

The Hollywood Reporter

Aliens ends up as a wild and woolly roller-coaster ride of a movie which should attract anxious crowds of thrill fans as it cuts a swath through theaters from here to Alpha Centauri.

The Film Magazine

This particular sequel remains a landmark in action-horror, James Cameron’s best film, and a high bar for blockbuster filmmaking that is only surpassed perhaps once a decade.

Empire

Truly great cinema- manages to dodge that 'dodgy sequel' curse with ease.

IMDb

Not often is a follow up as good as the original... but Aliens is... a cinematic Masterpiece which seems to improve with age.

MovieBabble

Aliens is an incredibly well made, lifelike, and action-packed sequel that may even surpass the original in some respects.
