As mentioned earlier, I gave it a 10.
It's a classic, in my view.

9/10, entertaining reworking of a horror movie into an action movie.

10/10
There was no way for Cameron to recreate the horror of the original film, so he took a different approach and made an action war movie. In my opinion, he crafted a great film that equals Scott's work. Sigourney Weaver continues doing a great job and her supporting cast are good (there's a reason why many sci-fi video games and shows use Aliens as an influence.) I also love how we get to explore new things about the creatures and the finale with Ripley Vs Queen still rocks.
Just like I see Godfather I&II together as one film, I like to think of Alien & Aliens as one story and I can't choose one over the other.

A solid 8/10. I just rewatched this recently actually. Such a fun sequel, although I prefer the original by a small margin.

Aliens is a rare sequel. Unlike most sequels, Aliens is almost completely different from the first and doesn't just try to repeat it. It has incredible action sequences and not a slow burn at all, again unlike Alien. It does share having a fine cast with the first one and a very good score. While I think Ridley Scott's direction in the first was more artistic, I do admire what Cameron did, too. I prefer the theatrical to the extended version and for really only one reason. I don't like the added scenes of Hudson. They don't work at all. I do love the colony scenes of LV-426 and a few others, too, but this is a film that got it right the first time. A film that still holds up. 10/10

9/10. Great story, great action, great photography and direction, and great acting. Paul Reiser just oozes slime, and I have come to really appreciate Bill Paxton's performance as Hudson.

Excellent Sci-Fi Action Adventure Movie.
I would give it 9/10, but it's 8/10 due to Bill Paxton's horrific whining.
But the Director's Cut brings it back to 9/10
