That's it. That's the only two good movies in a decades-long, highly acclaimed series. Just two movies that predate the 90s, then nothing.

Alien 3 is good too.
>le 90 IQ contrarian
This. I love Alien 3 and David Fincher, and no one can stop me.
man i want to have sex with that dog so bad
Holy frick, I didn't know they did that. That's the best boi.
They didn't use the dog in the end, they went with a rod-puppet.
Alien 3 > Aliens > Alien
(I’d probably give them all a 9/10 tho)
>Alien 3 > Aliens > Alien
I wouldn't go that far. The correct rating is release order.
This is a spicy take but A3 is the scariest and has the best supporting cast of characters. Yeah Bill Paxton meming around is great but I liked those British prisoners more TBQFHWYF.
People seem to forget too easily that Alien 3 has both Charles Dance and Charles S. Dutton in supporting roles, and they're fantastic. They give stereotypically Fincherian performances, super small, super restrained, super quiet (except when Dutton gets mad, which is also kino).
They are good, but the film overall is mediocre. It takes more than 2 supporting actors giving good performances to make a great movie.
I dunno. The funeral sequence alone is imo sufficiently kino to elevate the whole film. I won't argue that it's flawless; it's definitely got issues. But I say it's a good movie.
For me, it's Newt's autopsy scene.
It's one of the heaviest scenes in the series and Weaver sells it's her kid on that table.
And she does it with a scleral contact lens in her eye, too. Props.
Best scenes in the franchise:
>1. xeno being born during the eulogy in A3
>2. remote turret hallway in Aliens
>3. Ripley getting to the escape pod in the first one
idk 3 > 2 > 1 adds up
Hicks 🙂
Man, Sigourney Weaver is great. Alien 3 has a great cast.
Let's see them try that with a cat.
heh.
I enjoyed III and I saw them all when they released. good taste. cheers
Yep.
No it isn't. Get the frick out.
This - of course, we are talking about most recent extended cut, with polished audio etc. Original theatrical cut lose too many threads to feel right. Extended cut fixed all that.
Your opinion is urine because you forgot Isolation.

Fricking moron, frick off back to Cinemaphile!

>xeno is impossible to kill and if you even try to hurt it the acid blood will destroy everything it touches

>xenos getting exterminated left and right, blood flying everywhere like the acid doesn't even matter, and getting run over like b***hes
Nah frick Aliens.
You don't understand. The base on LV-426 (Hadley's Hope) was on partially terraformed moon. The base didn't have to be hermetic. That's the difference between Nostromo and Hadley's Hope.
Aliens is the better movie, by far. Alien is good but overrated.
>”acid doesn’t matter”
>Drake sprayed with xeno guts and dies
>Hudson burns his arm from Hicks blowing an aliens head off
>Hicks is incapacitated before the last act due to acid burns on his torso and face
>xeno is impossible to kill
>gets easily penetrated by a puny harpoon gun
it was never impossible or even difficult to kill, moron
Alien vs Predator is stupid but fun.
Resurrection is also stupid but fun.
Resurrection and AVP1 have the best alien props in the franchise, they looked best in those two.
>something needs to have three dozen movies to be considered good
This is the stupid 'pump out endless sequelslops' mindset everyone has now. It can have two movies and still be in the top films of all time.
Aliens is literally the worst Alien film. The alien is supposed to be scary, not a bug.
It's not bad, just different from Alien. Alien poses the question "What if unstoppable monster?" Aliens poses the question "What if easily stoppable monster but many?" Different takes on the same underlying concept.
In alien, it was NEVER in any way unstoppable. The only reason they didn't easily kill it was because they were trying to be good employees and protect the ship so they could get their payment. Don't care about that part and they'd have killed it easily.
In Aliens, they are not 'easily stoppable' in any way. They trash the marines in every encounter and kill all of them.
>Can't form own opinions.
>Parrots the same cliched nonsense.
We get it you're an alien 3 apologist.
This guy didn't realize the cameron worship was a meme.
>Can't form own opini- ACK!
Sad.
>Michael Biehn got more money for picture appearing in Alien 3 than he did for the whole of Aliens
Good on him.
It was 100x scarier in Aliens. In Alien it was a stupid dude in a rubber suit that could barely move
Lamberts a troony btw
What're you waiting for, breakfast in bed?
>that's fricking it, i found another hair in my food again! i've had it with that fricking cat. jonesy should be banned from the kitchen
Bros, I just wanna find out what kind of evil twisted experiments he ended up doing with that entire ship of colonists.
Finish the David Trilogy, Ridley Scott.
not a trilogy
there was room for 2 more movies, and I want to see them both
I don't even care what he was gonna have David do. That was the least interesting thing about Prometheus and the most utterly stupid direction to take the story in. No one went to see Prometheus to see David. No one shares Ridley's obsession with gay androids angry at their creators. People wanted to see the Engineers and what neat things they'd do. Ridley dropped the ball hard on that one then just blamed the fans he tricked into watching his movie by slapping an 'Alien' label on it for no reason.
Fassbender's Curious George evil android is the only interesting part of these movies. (They suck.) William Shatner did a better job at making a "astronauts goes looking for God" sci-fi movie.
He turned into the Space Jockey you see in Alien.
Wow! I can't wait to see that happen in the next David movie.
Aliens is overrated. It copied all the plot beats of Alien, had nothing new to say and made the main character incredibly one-dimensional.
Most popular film series can only muster 2 good films.
Terminator
Halloween
Star Wars
Godfather
Batman (if you consider 89-Forever as a quadrilogy)
Nolan Batman
and so on.
mhmm.
I'm willing to give Romulus a shot
Whatever you say, Satan.
What is the best version of the trilogy on media?
I have the ayylmao quadrilogy on blu ray and imo it's pretty extensive
all the movies come with their theatrical and director's cut versions (even resurrection has one lol - I think that was forced through the studio, but who cares, it's neat)
