I don't get other peoples opinions

Rating: Null/10 (1 February 2000)

I must have a funny brain. I thought that Alien was excellent. The idea of the Alien being was introduced here and so in my opinion this one is the best of the trilogy and always will be. Now this in itself is probably not too far from other peoples opinions but where mine differ completely is in that I thought Aliens was pretty bad. It completely destroyed the idea of the Alien. In the first film the Alien killed an entire crew without any trouble and Ripley was only able to kill it through a huge bit of luck. Now in the second there's Aliens dying all over the place. I just sat watching thinking "What the hell is going on?" There's acid blood spraying everywhere, there's Hicks unloading his shotgun in that Aliens mouth and toward the end it just gets ridiculous with Ripley going into a big hive full of thousands of them and not even being attacked until she finds the queen. I don't care about these marines advanced weapons or training. Its like the aliens have suddenly become stupid insects which are nothing like the alien in Alien. So in Aliens I found disappointment and when I arrived at Alien 3 I wasn't expecting much but what I got was far closer to the goodness of the first film than Aliens. Once again the Alien is returned to the powerful monster it was designed to be. I really cant see one truly bad thing in this film. The acting is excellent, each scene is excellently shot and that music really does stir. How can anyone not love this film? I even know a few people who hate it.
