| Professional Reviews | (01/03/1992, p.3D, Mike Clark): "...[A] top-drawer sequel...", (07/09/1986, Cart.): "...Technically, [the] film is superior in all respects. Special effects are varied and always convincing...", (07/18/1986, p.C1, Sheila Benson): "...Canny, ironically funny and certainly successful when Weaver's around....ALIENS is a perfectly honorable sequel, taut, inexorably paced...", (07/18/1986, p.C11, Walter Goodman): "...A flaming, flashing, crashing, crackling blow-em-up show that keeps you popping from your seat....[Weaver] is a one-woman army...", (10/04/1996, pp.70-1, Ira Robbins): "...Gripping..." -- Rating: B+ |
