ADF shows that action is much more their wheelhouse with Aliens beating out the movie by having just as much great action, but significantly more character work. The main issue I had with this adaption was that some of the most iconic lines were removed, but who could have known how iconic they'd be at the time?
It starts a bit slower than the movie but the second half is pretty much identical to the events in the movie. It's easy to visualise everything in your mind just like it happened on the screen.
