Aliens Colonial Marines

[FACEBOX]

I personally thought Alien 3 was worst than Alien 4. at least alien 4 had a real plot ( I know the plot sucked) and it actually had aliens.
The Alien in Alien 3 was kind of pathetic and the story was really long dull and boring.
Alien 3 for me is worst than any other alien movie made (Including AVP)

All things considering, ALIEN3 turned out great! It had everything going against it. This is why I believe an "ironed out" re-boot would do well.
ALIEN3 is what introduced the idea of aliens taking on host traits.
It also brought back the feeling of "no hope" against "the dragon".

To me, Alien RE had a dorky looking Newborn alien and the de-evolution of the Queen.
Bringing Ripley back was the biggest WT* moment to me.
Roaring meaty aliens, etc..... no thank you. That's not alien, that's a monster movie.

Which brings me to ALIENS Colonial Marines.
Hhh....

The Alien in Alien 3 was kind of pathetic and the story was really long dull and boring.

It pains me to read people who feel this way because i feel totally different.

The Alien in Alien 3 was the pathetic?! Its the only Alien to show intelligence outside of hunting methods, and also was the toughest to take out. Coming from Aliens to Alien 3 was a god blessing because the Xenos in Aliens were really pathetic. They served nothing other than to be target practice for our cliche 1 lining marines.

Usually franchises water down the monster and pump up the action and cheese as they go along, thankfully they didnt try to do that with the 3rd movie but rather returned to the original formular. 1 Creature, they have no weapons and are in a confined space.

And A3 actually made us care when the murders, arsonists and rapists were killed. Aliens marines i couldnt care less about. That says something about the two.

A:R is worse than colonial marines.

It was a very conscious decision by Cameron in order to help him tell that story. Dealing with hordes of easier to kill, but overwhelming aliens is a different kind of terror than dealing with one smart one. Think fighting Dracula vs. finding a bunch of zombies.

Both of you are correct. crow's views are valid too.
Look at the alien today though.... nothing more than a big-headed, flesh-eating insect.
ACM does nothing to fix that either.

Alien 3 was OK.

AvP sucked ballz and u should leave the planet if u liked it.

AvP R was directed by two douches who direct Nickelback music videos.

Nickelback music videos.

Predators was OK.

Prometheus = biggest disappoint I can recall. So much hype, looked so good, was so meh. Stringer Bell and Fassbender were rad tho. Guy Pearce's face looked like a nutsac.

The End.

Nickelback music videos.

Well, in fairness, it isn't like they wrote Nickelback music. Sometimes guys have to take crappy jobs to pay the bills. But the fact that that was apparently their biggest creative achievement prior to being given the helms of a major movie franchise does make you wonder how much sense the producers had (answer: not much). I couldn't even sit through that movie, it was so dark. And I saw Aliens vs. Predator at the theater, once, and haven't seen it again. Same goes for Alien: Resurrection.

Finished the game, finally. Didn't want to return it without completing it.

Still ****ing horrible, and a huge disappointment, I'm curious to know what happened to the game we saw back in '11.

 

[brucecamblzchin]

There is no excuse for NIckelback.

No, I take your point but the movie does still suck hard, I watched AvPr once and I spent the whole time cheering whenever the Pred killed one of the "actors".

I cannot fathom how people can buy collectibles from those films.

 

[karamazov80]

Interesting question for debate--which sucks harder, AvP Requiem or Nickelback?

[CelticPredator]

The only things that aren't canon, are the AvP films. Mostly because they **** with the continuity too hard, and nothing really adds up when you think about it.

Prometheus isn't nearly as destructive as AvP was. It just tells the story of the Space Jockey. Which recons nothing, because we don't know a thing about them.

 

[karamazov80]

Imagine if that were your legacy as a director. Honestly, even if they do suck, I feel a bit sorry for those guys.

 

[CelticPredator]

Both of you are correct. crow's views are valid too.

Not sure about that. Anyone who thinks Alien 3 is the worst of the franchise, and calles Prometheus "poomethus"...well.

 

[CelticPredator]

Imagine if that were your legacy as a director. Honestly, even if they do suck, I feel a bit sorry for those guys.

I would. But I saw Skyline. A film they made. And it was worse then AvP-R.

So yeah. I don't feel bad for them. They're awful .

 

[karamazov80]

Man, you must be a glutton for punishment. How is it guys like that, or Uwe Boll, can keep getting opportunities? Film studios would be better off just picking random guys off the street to direct.

 

[brucecamblzchin]

oh man that was theirs too? I watched about 10 mins of that

 

[Rotfish]

When you look at what Alien and Predator have become, it's hard to take them seriously anymore. Technically, by pushing and praying for newer, [hopefully] better movies to come out, we're just demoting them to the level of those crappy slasher flicks with dozens of sequels. Unless the planets are in perfect alignment and an idea so impossibly flawless is conceived by the greatest cast and crew imaginable... we should probably stop. Let these films die with dignity.

Sadly I think we missed that opportunity in '04. Probably '97.

They might as well have with AVP-R. Back in '07, the only thing I read up on the Strauss Bros. was them heading the VFX department for The Day After Tomorrow.

Yeah the alien is such an icon now it's just not scary any more. Studios have raped the arse out of both alien and pred franchises now to the point of satire. Not to mention there is approx 1265545 hot toys pred figs now. Sneezy pred is my favourite.

 

[brucecamblzchin]

I like Malibu Pred, he's so fabulous!
