Overrated, inappropriately directed and tediously boring

Rating: 2/10 (19 January 2003)

Am I the ONLY person who didn't like Alien. What was so flawless about it? Here's the plot in a nutshell. Crew of spaceship find alien egg. Bursts out of someones stomache and kills them all one by one until one of them eventually kills it. All that over 117 minutes.There is absolutely no music. A crew member spends ten minutes looking for a cat, (not expecting an alien to kill him) and guess what happens. I think it would have been ten times better if it was a little less subtle, quicker to get the point and directed by somebody else. But i'm SUPPOSED to love this film because every critic on the planet does. This is overrated and unworthy of its hype.
