Prometheus Sequel (ALIEN: Covenant)

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

8/10.

Great first act. I can't stress enough just how perfectly written the first 25-30 minutes are.

Second act was interesting but undeniably troubled.

Third act was ****.

Disappointing yet still valuable for its continued exploration of the Xenomorph and Engineer mythos.

*I would now much rather see Blomkamp's take on a sequel to Cameron's superb Aliens than watch another uninspired installment by the [past-his-prime] Ridley Scott.

Damn, only an 8/10? I would've walked out of the theater.

It's Kevin Feige's fault. His creatively bankrupt formula has infected other studios like a facehugger.

Another example where your words and your score seem like they conflict with eachother. I'm not criticising you, I just find it interesting.

Call me crazy but I agree with this.

Predictable as ****. David's quest just doesn't amount to anything special. His experiments are cool but Scott and the writers don't go anywhere with them. You literally just get one Xeno (the one from the trailer) who fights Waterston and McBride on the Covenant ship for 10 minutes. So simple its depressing, man.

Its tragic how such a superb first act leads to tremendously lackluster second and third acts.

Ill give you the name if you want to do further research

That's Johnny Dingleberry dressed up like some hot Asian...

I score films based on many facets. Cinematography, storytelling, score, pacing, acting and consistency of tone.

This movie did well with several of the above at times (the first scene is masterful). It just fell apart in the second half.

Can you imagine meeting a really hot girl and you're getting on and she leans over and softly whispers in your ear: I was a boy.



What's scarier -- that or the neomorph?

Mazhole > Brasilian woMAN > Neomorph

And more importantly... Would you stop?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Absolutely. I'm getting too old for that kind of thing.

 

[jye4ever]

Now don't go being a mazhole.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Or a Twatja.
