Am I the only one who thought ALIENS kinda sucked?
Before I get lynched, let me explain. I first saw ALIENS on TCM a few years ago, and it was the first Alien film I had ever seen. I originally found the film too long and pretty boring, with all of...

I haven't seen these films for some time but I still remember ALIEN but I remember nothing about ALIENS except it was too macho. While ALIEN isn't an "Arthouse" film...it miles above ALIENS.

Yeah, but I think the first thing Dallas would have done was order a complete check up of Cain. Assuming Ash assured him that everything was A-OK, you'd think the first thing Dallas would've done...

Aliens isn't miles above Alien, it is differentand maybe not to your liking, but that doesn't make it superior.

If your responding to me Steve...I said "ALIEN is miles above ALIENS" and I stand by that statement.

I'll stand by that statement. Alien far outshines. Any given weekend you can see Aliens on TBS or TNT alongside the Lethal Weapon flicks, and such. It's 80's action fodder. When is the last time...

I didn't want ALIENS to be just like ALIEN, in tone or execution. It's a superlative 80s action flick.

Dismissing ALIENS as inferior just because it's action, or played a lot on cable, is exactly the kind of snobbishness, and attempting to appear intelligent that I was talking about in my initial post.

I like both films, and this is getting absurd.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The thread does have the word "Anyone" in it's title. Some folks liked one better than the other. I don't care for action flicks. No need to call someone a...

Alien was a major disappointment to me and I didnt think much of Blade Runner or Gladiator either. My favourite Ridley Scott films are The Duellists and Kingdom of Heaven

I first saw ALIENS on one of the largest cinema screens in the UK. Without the benefits of the extra 'special edition' footage backstory, I was pretty lost as to what the mission was, and even the...

Yes, Terminator 2 is pretty much my benchmark for this kind of film, the first film I sought out on on dvd
