not that bad, c'mon!

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2009)

while i admit there's some weak points in the movie and that it surely won't equal ALIEN, i don't understand most of the complaints here.... too depressing....was ALIEN uplifting???? thats exactly what i like bout the movie. the dark mood and the missing happy end! no characters You care for? can't tell them apart? well i cared for the characters in ALIEN but the marines in ALIENS: i neither cared for them (with some exceptions), nor could i tell them apart! plus i like the idea of one Alien versus a bunch of people only armed with fire far more than the concept of ALIENS, dozens of aliens against heavy firearms. after ALIEN, this is my favorite of the four movies.
