Ridleys best years are gone

Rating: 5/10 (13 May 2017)

So, if ever you wondered if the Alien franchise is dead....it is now. Ridley has buried it in mundane characters, derivative plot, yawn worthy visuals and a twist ending so obvious its headpalm time. Only Michael Fassbender lends this money grab with some sort of gravitas because he is such an accomplished actor. Ridley nobody cares about the final scene as we know they will all be dead come the sequel. So nobody cares a damn about any of the characters at all. The film is basically the Alien and Fassbender. Everyone else is less than window dressing. Ridley, you need to re-learn what you have lost because on current form you are a lousy director. Easily one of the worst films in the Alien franchise, if not the actual worst.
