Many critics and fans argue Aliens is actually superior to Ridley Scott’s original. The use of strong leading ladies is a recurring theme in Cameron’s career (in Linda Hamilton, he even married one of them), and Sigourney Weaver epitomizes the trend, somehow making Ellen Ripley more fearsome than she was the first time around. In the movie’s terrific final part, when Ripley fights the alien queen to the bitter end, it’s difficult to figure out who’s scarier.
