Alien/Aliens

Yeah, it was Can't See Shit: The Movie. AvP was a masterpiece in comparison because they were able to professionally light scenes in that one.

I agree it's a mess and a stretch.

It helps a little if you're aware of all the sumerian mythology/aaylmao stuff that Lindlehof is ripping off.

The real problem is that with all these aspects, it feels like a 10 hour story crammed into 2 hours.

It really is just annunaki vs alien

...

Whenever I watch Predator 2 I feel like they dropped the ball hard with the cast.

If they cast Murtaugh they could have cast Riggs, also.

I don't know how I typed that. I meant to say, It's not terrible but it's not as good as the first one. It's almost a different movie.

District 9 heavily implies a sequel-"I will come back for you in 2 years"

Amazing how Hollywood makes sequels for movies that don't need them but passes on movies that set themselves up for sequels.

It's unfortunate because AvP has potential as a successful franchise, they just can't get a competent team to make it.

WHY WON'T YOU DIE ALREADY?!

Prometheus is shit-tier "aliens seeded life on earth" propaganda. They used the Alien franchise in order to sell such a movie that otherwise wouldn't have been watched by very many people.

They didn't want an Alien movie without the Xenomorph, they wanted an artsy propaganda piece about life on earth being seeded/evolved by a smarter race. The Engineer reacting violently was meant to convey how bad we all are without really going into the details. Other more hamfisted movies would have had some big speech about environmentalism and lack of global peace as to why the Engineer wants to kill us.

I'm not wrong, you faggot. For the type of movie that Alien is (a scifi remake of whatever the movie that apocalypse now is a remake of) where a group of people fight one enemy, the film works on showing as little of the creature as possible, and thus making the moments where you see it much better. Having scores of them turns them into cannon fodder and less of a threat. Also, action movies don't need anything besides action, good writing is just a plus.
