I definitely like the first one a lot better, but I still think Aliens is a good movie in it's own right. The first one is horror, and is remarkably grounded with how convincingly realistic the characters are. Every time I re-watch it, I'm impressed with how timeless it seems, how good it looks, how great the actors are at bringing their characters to life.
The sequel is an over the top action movie with smartass dialogue and explosions. For what it is, I consider it a classic. The only flaw of the movie that matters to me is how it drags a tiny bit in the end, since it has like three major action set pieces in the last 30 minutes. All super hero and action movies do that now, of course.
