yay or nay? it think it's highly underrated. it was such a perfect closure to the alien saga. it's a very tragic movie and i think that's the reason many people don't like it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I need to see all of them again. It's been a shlong time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never wasted my time on any of 'em. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aliens movies are not waste of time by any means. They're horror/sci-fi classics man! except for Alien Resurrection, which blew (nice visuals though) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh. someday. maybe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as far as horror goes? hmm. i'll stick to . classic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it was the perfect closure. Shame they had to come up with the abomination that was Alien resurrection with which they totally raped the completed trilogy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno, it always pissed me off that they kill off most of the survivors from the last film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thought it was cheesy but then again i thought aliens was overproduced predictable action-genre crap.. so the legacy was already ruined by the 2nd movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my 2 cents: they should've stopped after the first 2. it just went downhill... same movie, basically, just got worse. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, the first 2 were the best (both highly original and andrenaline-pumping. I'm glad the second one wasn't just a rehash of the first one but made it more interesting by creating a hive and then pitting armed humans against them) but the third, though predictable and not scary, wrapped up the story with a fitting and grim ending. I loved it that the few people who survived the onslaught from the aliens all died in the end. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the third part was the only saw it at the cinema, btw that ocassion I was only with other very few people, 3 or 4 persons, I liked a lot, next times I saw it it was boring. There is no discussion about the first part being the best. |
||||||||

Holy wigglesnizzles, I thought me and a friend were the only two people who had ever seen Psychomania. "Teach 'em a lesson!" :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Should have stopped after the 1st. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they should idd have stopped after the 3rd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah, the first was a stylish classic psychological sci-fi horror...the second was a predictable cameron hollywood shoot em up...the third was a poorly shot (by Finchers own admission), pointless franchise cash in with a weak plot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yay. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the second one is brilliant and inspiring in it's own way and one of the more underrated films, most likely because it's a cameron flick. His stuff always gets underrated and hated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What's his best film X-tomatic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to rate Aliens as a poor action-shoot-em-up really doesn't do it justice, there are so many classic and nerve-wrecking scenes in it and ripley's character is really brought to life in this one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't say it was poor, just overproduced and predictable.. i enjoyed quite a lot of it, it's a very "fun" film! but i prefer the subtle terror of alien... the direction, acting, and musical score of that film are all mindblowing.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'brought to life' So she didn't contribute fully to the other Alien films? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The acting and directing in Aliens is really solid too. The music isn't all that great though. But agreed, there will never be anything like the first Alien ever again. I love those slow paced movies of the 70's. They just ooze class and style. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Silent running etc are beautifull! the 70's vision of futurism was/is more like it will be, hopefully. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Interesting film, and I find bald Sigourney rather... secksy. The first one is my fave, then the second, then the third, then the fourth... Hmmm... The first one is magical, I drown in the gooey streamy atmosphere. The second, you can see signs of where the series was eventually headed, urgh... the Halloween effect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tay i haven't seen the whole thing. the second one is my favorite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think alberto started this thread so you could see he could make the three look special on the main page |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totaly agree with you on the underated part...should have gotten more play...or maybe the play came before i was born *contemplated short existence on earth* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh..i didnt see your clever little 3 however you did that...ok i'll shut up now...ah this will be filed under posts i make at 2am and regret the next day |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with ophecks' sentiments, but i believe one thing the second one had on its side was a MUCH nicer budget and production values to play with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
roygbivcore: hehe, i actually stole/copied the 3 thingy from some guy at watmm :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the man when it comes to creating creepy creatures, It's no wonder he won an oscar for his work on the original |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The second one is the best because it has Hudson. Case closed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
game over man! plus the second one inspired many other movies,videogames and comics |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Definately, the first of its kind. The whole atmosphere was fresh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree that Alien 3 is underrated. Had that been the first Alien film people would have been raving about how good it was. I actually like all four of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aliens rocks. I've got a whole Alien montage on my wall! I've always loved Aliens it a big part of my life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No way Aliens is extremely scary. I was absolutely frightened watching it, its the only film I genuinely get scared watching. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DJ Xammax, Totally agree. 'Well thats fucking great, now what the fuck are we suppose to do, we're in some real pretty shit now?' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have a full size bendy plastic replica of an 'Aliens Face Hugger' hanging on the rafters in my attic.....it looks real!! :O |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use to have an Alien figurine, can't remember where that is though. Anyone played Alien 3 on the Megadrive, awesome game? Very difficult, very addictive and has great music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember playing some Alien game in the arcades....one of those machines that actually had the gun you fired at the screen, loads of aliens running at the screen - great fun! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haven't seen it actually.. But I do like David Fincher's other movies... hm I've heard even Fincher wasn't too pleased with the result... But that doesn't necesseary mean it's a bad movie... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i <3 all the alien films :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah that was an Alien 3 type game. That game came out in about 94 as I recall. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes that is about right.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Playing Alien Vs Predator with the lights off is a pretty intense experience. Imagine Quake 1 with the adrenaline and fear aspects boosted several times. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyone read the Aliens comics? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the Alien Vs Predator game scares the shit out of me (when u play as soldier). I love being an Alien the most, you move so fast and you can climb on the walls and soldiers are scared to fucking death of you, all screaming and shit. Great fun :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah totally agree. I've completed Aliens vs Predator as the Alien. However didn't get too far as the marine 'cause my graphics card couldn't cope with the graphics for some reason. Bet yeah playing as the marine is shit scary, not for the timid. |
