Sure thing, most action films of that period were infected with the Roger Moore virus and I did say it was fun.

If it wasn't the sequel to Alien it would be difficult to knock it as it's enjoyable for what it is in the same way that one can enjoy Predator (which is why Aliens Vs Predator is an obvious taste combination). Just check out the screenplay credit for Rambo 2.

But as a sequel to the first film I genuinely prefer, with all it obvious flaws, the assembly cut of Alien 3 because despite it flaws (when the ribald dialogue and the OTT score are switched off) it feels like it takes place in the same world.

Aliens feels like it's taking place in a spoof version of that world or in a compromised 80's television spin off of that world.
