    Imagine waiting years to see what happens to Newt, Hicks and Ripley in the sequel to Camerons all action space war movie Aliens.

    Those are the people that hate it. I like it. Its a atmospheric as frick and creates a cool world but it is slow to the point of boring and to the normie the CGI is laughable. Its 90% because the kill Newt and Hicks off screen though.

      It's basically the Alien version of people getting upset that Leon, Ada, Jill, and Becky die offscreen in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. (Although that film does actually leave open the possibility Wesker fricked up and they survived somehow.)

          They're incredibly similar and invite comparison. Alice was even meant to die at the end of Final Chapter, but it was changed late in shooting, which is why the ending is edited weird. (Second vial toss.)

          Aliens was pretty widely regarded as the film that ruined the Alien franchise. Aliens fans don't know this, and you see something similar with Terminator 2 fans and Rambo 2 fans.

              Aliens was despised on Usenet forums. A lot of films that are liked today had a very negative reception from fanboys. Terminator 2 was seen as a brain-dead sequel that wasn't even an action film. You know how Resident Evil (game) fans whine about the later games and the films not being horror? Well, the Terminator fanbase was enraged by Terminator 2 not being a horror film at all, feeling that Cameron had sold out, and turned Terminator into a joke, into a stupid film for teenagers.

                This seems to happen with #2 in quite a few series. Silent Hill 2 was hated upon release, flopped in Japan, and almost led to the series being cancelled. But today, you'd think it was some kind of beloved classic, a defining entry in the series, and not the game that almost killed Silent Hill due to backlash from SH1's fanbase.

              Go read the old BBS and Usenet forums. I think Google has them archived. Terminator 2 was not super well liked by the Terminator 1 fanbase. The Terminator 2 fanbase is an entirely different creature. In videogame terms it's like Resident Evil, where most RE fans are fans of post-RE4 RE, but RE4 was hated by the fixed camera survival horror fanbase because it isn't a horror game. Terminator 2 is not a horror movie. That you're not aware of this is quite interesting.

            honestly, the competition isnt exactly high is it? 3 is awful. the opening 10 minutes destroys everything that Ripley fought so hard for, at which point my goodwill for it was gone. It continues in depressing fashion through drab and miserable scenes edited together by a fricking sadist who thought a coherent story was unnecessary.

      This. Alien 3 is bad because it renders the entire events of Alien and Aliens completely fricking pointless.

      This is a hell of a lot more important for this film. It's not a couple of edited out scenes, there are a lot of differences between the cut that follows the written screenplay and the theatrical release.

      Also the novel based on the screenplay is a heck of a good read.

          in this case if you care enough about the movie to begin with, it's a bit more complete. without the capturing the alien subplot some death scenes are missing and characters just disappear from the movie - that said, it's the one Alien flick where it's practically impossible to tell that bloated cast apart anyway, so it won't make a lot of difference to a casual viewer. it matters if you are a fan though.

          they were super clever in Resurrection (learning how that freeze punishment button works, setting traps like the gun they stick to the hallway to lure people in etc), but those specimen carried more than the usual amount of human DNA because of the cloning process, so I figure it doesn't quite count.

          in the third one it's considerably nerfed, it just runs around screaming and killing everyone on sight. no hive building, no human hosts, isn't even trying to be stealthy after the first couple mandatory hide-the-monster kills. much as I like the flick it basically it did what people say Aliens did to the creature.

          to be fair it was basically invincible in third tbh and it can be explained due to it not being born out of a human and therefore with different characteristics. interesting concept. it didn't need much more than that to kill them

            This is just wrong. The special edition of A2 has the legit awesome auto-turret scene, but the original colony scene is just shitty writing. The movie works better without knowing who Newts parents were OR what specifically happens to the colony. Or most importantly, the mega-awesome Paul Reiser character works better until the end when you realize he's a villain. The colony scene ruiins that reveal by showing the company sending them out there. Bad take breh, bad take.

      Aliens already had a conclusion. Ripley makes it back to Earth and has a new daughter, Hicks likely gets discharged due to his wounds and becomes her husband. They can be happy. It's utterly moronic to make up some imaginary reason for eggs to be on board just so it can shit on the previous movie and kill Ripley, since that's apparently the only way for franchises to end. Oh wait, they still couldn't leave it the frick alone.

    Depends on which cut you watched. The original theatrical cut is pretty bad, although not completely awful. The Assembly Cut is kino even if it is still quite flawed (the final 3rd in particular still doesn't quite work). Basically most people watched the theatrical back in the day and have written it off ever since and while the Assembly version's good it wasn't released until 2003 and even then it had a shithouse audio mix which didn't get fixed until around 2010 or 2011 (whenever the blu-ray came out) where they got all the surviving cast members back in to redub all the deleted footage. So it didn't really get finished until about a decade ago - meanwhile the theatrical cut had been around for about 20 years by that point.

    If the Alien was born from an Ox you watched the Assembly Cut (the good version.) If the Alien was born from a dog you watched the theatrical cut (the bad version.) Simple as that. You know that amazing opening scene where the doctor finds Ripley washed ashore on the beach? That scene is pure fricking kino and almost worth the price of admission. And it was completely cut out of the theatrical version. That's your answer right there.

          Damn if you thought AVP was bad... do not watch AVP: Requiem. It's legit one of the worst movies ever made. Like bottom 100 of all time. AVP 1 is at least watchably bad. AVP:R is just another level of bad.

    This is the truth. Cinemaphile is full of capeshitters and nuwars fans so their opinion is worthless.
    Alien and Aliens are certified Kino. 10/10 perfect movies.
    Alien 3 is shit. I don't care if you like it. People like Resident Evil but i wont call those films masterpieces or even great movies. Alien 3 and beyond are entertaining but they are popcorn flicks nothing more. I prefer 4 cause of Ryder.
    Contrary to popular belief AvP 1 and 2 are decent movies. At least entertaining. Prometheus is also ok but then Covenant is absolute shit.
    I expect the Disney series to be more shit.
    After Aliens they are all remakes of the same thing over and over again.

      it was way better ending then to just milk it endlessly like fricking terminators. They ended it similarly in T2 but studios just pretend it didnt exist. Even then in T3 ending kinda did a sence with inevitability of end war, honestly best thing the T3 had.

    I thought it was very mediocre. I didn't vibe with the british prisoners at all, and the ending was some weird b-movie shit just slapped on there. The entire setting and feel of the movie just wasn't interesting to me, and the special effects regarding the alien creature was a major step backwards even compared to the first movie, it just looked bad.

    Casually killing off two major characters off-screen in whom we had emotional investment, smaller in scope, over-familiarity with the alien threat, ugly, dull characters, bad acting and sfx, generally depressing and everything is brown.

      it's also not the story they were selling at the start of the marketing campaign, about the dozen or so script treatment, it was meant to be a proper follow-up that took place on earth.

      then the studio got cold feet, one of the most infamous development hells in history hit, shoot started without a completed screenplay and was shot down before it was finished, the rest is history.

    It holds up and plays better now than on release. People expected another A+ film like Aliens. They got such a sharp shift in tone and characters killed off at the start etc that the film got panned. Now audiences are way more forgiving towards a darker tone of sci-fi movie.

      Same as with T1 and T2 BOTH is great AND different movies. And it just comes to taste what you specifically love more.
      Like i love t1 more because of its thriller moments while and i love Alien more because of how claustrophobic and tense it is. But you cant say they better then T2 or Aliens just because of that. Its different movies.

      Cameron's design is such a fricking downgrade it's unreal.

        Smoothbrain take. Cameron had no choice but to change the design, the alien barely moves in the first film except walking/crawling. They needed a suit that could allow full movement as they were using acrobats for most of the stunts. Aliens is my favourite film and I know it's far from perfect but think of some actual criticism like why have an unmanned ship?

            It made no sense other than a plot device. It's shown in alien that muthur is in control of certain parts of the ship, why wouldn't a future ship have an AI on board? Monitoring the situation and maybe even sending a ship down automatically.

                If Burke believed Ripley then he knew how dangerous they were, why would he put himself in danger like that? Even having another android on board controlling the ship makes more sense. Another bishop that refuses to rescue the survivors because he knows the risk of an alien getting to earth is too big. Outcome is still the same, as the rest of aliens.

    hey, thats a nice two film franchise you got there
    lets greedily make a new film to cash in on the popularity, start filming without a script, remove anything of interest to aliens fans and retread alien in a less interesting way that also fails to make sense in several important areas.
    and then kill the main character.

    it has some good points, and its amazing the whole project wasnt shitcanned halfway through due to incompetence, but ultimatly its a total waste of potential and the alien universe has never recovered.
