I actually am so glad James Cameron did not get his way for Aliens. There is a scene in the directors cut that completely ruins the movie. Seeing Newt and her family alive on the planet and seeing her dad get attacked at the beginning of the film completely destroys the mystery of what happened on the colony. Sometimes directors cuts are not the better film.

I was excited for extra content, but that scene really pulls you out. It's dated, has horrible pacing, and erases the unknown fear factor that is such an integral part of the movie.
