I think a lot of people would agree with you on that. For me they're really close but I give a slight edge to ALIENS for its depth, scope and ability to expand and improve upon what is arguably a masterpiece. I can only think of two other sequels in history that have done that, those being The Empire Strikes Back and The Godfather II.

 I couldn't tell you as I've never seen The Hangover II, nor do I have the desire.

What about Superman II? Though they were filmed concurrently (more or less) I think it expanded and improved on the first film.

The difference for me... while I think Superman II is the better of the 2 films and did expand/improve upon it's predecessor, the original Superman is not a masterpiece.

Agreed; Aliens 1 & 2 brilliantly complemented one another.

While I enjoyed Aliens alot its really made for the American audience since they went with US Marines in space. I much more prefers the claustrophobic and horror feel of the first than the ra ra ra US Marines of Aliens.
