Alien vs Aliens

So when it comes to the Alien franchise there’s an argument that has raged for years (well, not really “raged” and more of a difference of opinion than an argument) but I digress. The argument..?

Which is better, Alien (1979) or Aliens (1986)?

They’re both excellent movies in their own right and they’re two very different films altogether, but I often hear Aliens referred to as one of those sequels that’s better than the original (I plan to do a post on this topic in the near future).

I know which one I prefer but what do you think?

Do you think James Cameron’s action packed “Aliens” is better than Ridley Scott’s tense and claustrophobic “Alien”? 👽
