Aliens (1986)

I'm sure I'm the only one in the world that doesn't like Aliens. I've got nothing against the people who do like it, and I'll listen endlessly to people or interviews with the creative forces about why its good, but I just watch it and feel underwhelmed and unimpressed. 

I remember one interview where they bragged about having few aliens "but it wasn't noticable" - it was all I noticed. I thought the climactic robot suit battle was dull and the "underlying theme" of motherhood was completely beat-you-over-the-head not unnoticable. I just don't think it's all that good.
