Finally, in Aliens, they have some kick-arse firepower that blows at least some of those fuckers apart - while in Alien they had nothing but raw fear and a few cattle prod type instruments. Yes almost everyone died in Aliens but at least there was some serious payback during the proceedings.

I know what you mean- it certainly feels that way--but for the most part I think it was more almost anti-military since they all suck and are douche bags--plus like I said it's really Ripley's story- and by being the only non army survivor- once again proves that she kicks major ass!<br /><br />It's definitely more action packed then Alien which makes it more exciting- but I think in terms of which is better done I'd have to go with Alien. You can't beat the tension in that.Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-81476852290093478712010-02-07T17:05:50.446-05:002010-02-07T17:05:50.446-05:00I tried watching the director's cut a couple y...I tried watching the director's cut a couple years back and couldn't get into it. It seemed too pro-military and so counter to the wonderful feel of Alien that I couldn't imagine how it earned the rep of being superior to Ridley Scott's work.<br /><br />your review however is a fantastic read.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998494372417859151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-65701190325191407622010-02-06T17:06:15.413-05:002010-02-06T17:06:15.413-05:00I think it's tough to compare the two films- s...I think it's tough to compare the two films- since they both have such differences in levels of fear. I guess if I had to pick one but I really don't want to---but IF I had to I might pick Alien. I like the idea of their just being one alien causing so much fear and chaos. Still though- both fantastic. <br /><br />Nicole- I read about all the extra stuff on the extended version! Something about Ripley having a daughter of her own. Someday I'll see- but when I watch something for the time I like to see it the way everyone else did ya know?Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-16511292716823742302010-02-06T11:49:34.174-05:002010-02-06T11:49:34.174-05:00I was obsessed with this movie when it came out; I...I was obsessed with this movie when it came out; I remember seeing it in the theater no less than 14 times. The extended version is really neat -- you get to see Newt's parents and learn Ripley's first name (as well as that of Hicks. I won't spoil it for you, but let me know if you want me to spill). Sigourney Weaver was nominated for an Oscar this year (which was the first for a scifi film), and it's just a good movie, all monsters aside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-48889689138841338462010-02-06T02:35:45.794-05:002010-02-06T02:35:45.794-05:00I prefer Aliens to Alien, and i believe Alien 3 is...I prefer Aliens to Alien, and i believe Alien 3 is under rated. <br /><br />And if i saw someone with that costume, it'd be the best ever.oducerproducerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849607649137693554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-63727527883099236992010-02-06T00:07:04.170-05:002010-02-06T00:07:04.170-05:00Aliens is awesome!

I think the most tense part is when the auto guns are firing away, hundreds of rounds, paxton is counting down the rounds for those that can't read, and yet there's not a single alien in that scene.<br />If you happen to watch Alien 3, check out the director's cut. It's a totally different film, and way better than the theatrical.Highly Caffeinatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17396172014600662249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-63632226151498195972010-02-05T23:36:37.420-05:002010-02-05T23:36:37.420-05:00When Aliens first came out, t had that reputation ...When Aliens first came out, t had that reputation for being better than the original, which it carried for years.
