how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 53 comments (39 from Metacritic, 14 from TMDB reviews) — 12 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 12 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“The second one, is the length of the movie : about 2h20mn. Too long, much too long.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Tautly paced and expertly directed, this roller coaster ride of a motion picture offers a little bit of everything, all wrapped up in a tidy science fiction/action package.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 100
“For this movie stands to be something its predecessor was not, a megahit. And it deserves to be, for it is a remarkable accomplishment: a sequel that exceeds its predecessor in the reach of its appeal while giving Weaver new emotional dimensions to explore.”
Staff (Not Credited), Time · 100
“Truly great cinema- manages to dodge that 'dodgy sequel' curse with ease.”
Ian Nathan, Empire · 100
“Though Aliens is unable to eschew some obvious sci-fi conventions and those of other genres as well, it brings a fresh and lively spirit to this tired cinematic clime. Scene to scene, encounter to encounter, its tension builds unrelentingly. So, fasten your seat belts. It`s a blast.”
Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune · 100
“Aliens is one of the most intensely shocking films to open in ages: Even if you think you've got the stamina for cinematic suspense, you may find yourself out in the lobby, midway, catching your breath. This film is also the best monster movie of the year and the best picture of any kind to open so far this summer. Put it another way: Aliens is the Jaws of the '80s.”
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel · 100

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
