    There is no public consesus if Alien or Aliens is the better movie. It all comes down to personal taste. One thing is for sure tho: I must be the only person on this planet who loves Alien: Resurrection.

    I can understand why tho. People who see this expect another horror action flick but what they get to see is a typical Jeunet movie. Dark comedy with beautiful backdrops. This doesn't compute with the most fans of the franchise.

    you're not alone...

    Alien: Resurrection was alright, if anything much better than Alien 3.

    More worrying details emerge...

    ... I think, therefore, I have to design - or redesign - earlier versions of what these elements are that led to the thing you finally see in Alien, which is the thing that catapults out of the egg, the face-hugger. I don't want to repeat it. The alien in a sense, as a shape, is worn out."

    ...so we wont see the original alien design at all by the looks of it...

    Well it hasn't worked for the last 2 dozen shit movies with an Alien in it. Can't argue Giger's vaginal and phallic inspired shit isn't played out yet, either.

    I think he knows what hes doing, hopes*. There is no way we will see a jar jar binks or a kid swinging down a vine with an army of monkeys.

    I think he's got his mind in the right place by not having any of the classic aliens in the movie. Also makes it easier to set expectations accordingly; This, to me, pretty much sounds like it might as well be a entirely new movie, but that it has threads back to the original, and is more an origin and back story about what went on behind the scenes a long time ago, rather than an origin story of Ripley.

    Personally I'd be worried if he said "Yeah, I'll just do another Alien movie with new actors". That would be a task I could only see him fail at.

    I do agree that, based on his current portfolio, his best days are over. That said, to this day then he's still an amazing director in my book, and by making Blade Runner and Alien he's earned himself the right to fuck up, although I hope he won't

    Body of Lies was awesome too, American Gangster on the other hand was a bit meh, imho.

    You need to explain or better yet link to a good explanation of what makes alien and aliens so good. Considering the amount of fans there should be a page. The problem with searching for my self is that Alien is a fairly used word today, so it is hard to find.

    So, if you watch a film, when it's over, your mind sometimes forms thoughts, these are often referred to as opinions. Once you are comfortable with these, you post them on internet message boards to show the world you matter.
