Until Aliens gets as many reviews as Alien, nothing is settled.

There are almost twice as many reviews for Alien and it managed to remain just 1% behind.

It's honestly a better film. Aliens is great though.

Cameron > your opinion
>>
>>69166021
Normies were a mistake.
>>
They're very different animals.

However one thing that surprised me on rewatching both is that in parts Aliens actually looks weirdly cheap.
Like it was filmed on one very crammed soundstage and the budget didn't live up to Cameron's vision.
It's especially apparent before the final showdown when Ripley goes into the elevator.

Alien being a much smaller film, kinda felt more polished and "real".

Alien 10/10
Aliens 7/10

Prometheus 7/10

Retrospective Critics are retarded, I hate Rotten Tomatoes for allowing this.

Critics should be aggregated with reviews +- 1 year of Premiere of criticized film.
>>
>>69167413
What in the fuck? I like Alien 3 just fine but it's by NO MEANS better than Aliens. You have to be out of your goddamn mind, you fucking retard. You fucking moron. You goddamn fucking idiot. Fucking hang yourself.

But I respect your opinion.
>>
>>69167638
Not him, but Alien 3 is way better than Aliens. It at least tries to be a horror movie, and to tell some kind of story that isn't just shooty shooty explosions, and to make the alien creature actually threatening again.
>>
>>69167693
Except Aliens isn't a horror movie nor does it try to be one.
>>
>>69167728
It's shit action shit horror and shit scifi. What's the point in not having horror in an r rated alien movie. Fuck off Cameron cuck

Screw newt she's annoying as fuck
>>
>>69166304
3.9 = 78% and the average between critic and audience ratings is 87.5
3.8 = 76% and the average is just 87

so alien technically wins
>>
Where did this "aliens is bad" meme come from? I prefer Alien btw
>>
>>69166021
both a 9/10
I think that's fair
>>
Sci-fi action horror is better than sci-fi suspense horror, I agree.

Is Alien 3 Assembly Cut worth watching?

Aliens is such a shit movie that ruins almost every aspect of the previous film.

>>69169520
Absolutely.

>>69169520
It's good if you enjoyed Alien. I've never seen the theatrical version of it though.
>>
>>69169520

Assembly is about Medieval Europe symbolically, one of the first scenes in assembly shows someone with a horse and cart, not exactly futuristic space movie now, huh?

But the people desperately defending BvS told me that critics are plebs who know nothing, so wouldn't Aliens' higher rating prove that it's actually worse?

Sure feels like DC is here.
>>
>>69166021

having watched all four alien movies a year ago for the first time, I would say that comparing the first two movies is a totally wrong approach

the movies are not even in the same genre if you ask me. alien was more of a "horror" movie with a creepyness factor to it while aliens was mostly an action movie. both are really great movies though
>>
>Alien=xenomorph is a horrible, terrifying organism, an engineer does all she can to survive, watching her coworkers die one by one. The xeno is an ambush predator, stalking its way close, then appearing out nowhere like a fucking horrendous spider, a real predatory animal.

>Aliens:xenomorphs get mowed down left and right, 400+lb creatures scurrying about like insects, not scary at all. Hurr durr muh grrll pwer.

Aliens took a great ideal and dumbed it down for the unwashed masses.

They are simply confusing the two.

I recognize you from every single aliens thread. Saying "shooty shooty explosions" just makes you sound like a fucking mongoloid.

It also failed. Trying isn't the same as actually achieving. Stop sucking Fincher's cock, even he hates the movie

awful fucking taste
try

Alien 7/10,
Aliens 8/10
Alien3 4/10
Prometheus 5/10
AR 5/10
AVP 3/10

Alien was a bit of a generic slasher in space, it lacks the depth or complexity to hold your interest, especially on second viewing
Aliens is where the series peaked, but alien 3 killed it
Prometheus had an awful fucking script and nothing going for it except the cgi set design and camer work
Resurrection had a better plot than Prometheus but it feels low budget, rushed, and silly at times
AVP does nothing with its premise, its just all around lazy

Overall the series wasnt that great to begin with, it never lived up to its potential and similar to star wars the world fans build around it is the best part of the whole franchise.
