actually...liked it

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 1999)

It seems that many people have been ignoring the reason that I think this movie is so good. It is FUNNY. This is an all-out campy throw-back to the days when a horror movie had no substance, and KNEW IT. There were gallons and gallons of icky, gooey, gross-out slime and sludge. The sets were the only serious things about this movie. I could not help but enjoy myself. For example, as revenge for getting frozen at with a button, the alien puts a guy into the room and pushes the button. They are almost like the "intelligent" dinosaurs of Jurassic Park. I laughed in that movie too. And, in the underwater scene, I timed it, they were moving extremely fast for almost three minutes of movie time. However, this was cut and edited for time reasons, and if it was featured in real-time, it probably would have been 5-7 minutes, while blood pumping and racing, working hard. Not done in real world. The images of Ripley's predecessors of clones were funny (teeth on the side of the mouth), and the comment afterwards gave you the signal to be offended and laugh (What a waste of ammo. Must be a chick thing.)
Now for the comparison: I love the Alien series. However, I am probably the only one who feels that they could almost be independent of each other. They are all on the same level. Alien was more of the true horror film that it was. Aliens was more sci-fi and action, Terminator-like, also Cameron. I loved Alien 3, if you do not realize that it is an Alien movie. It is a great moody suspense movie. It is the darkest, moodiest movie ever. It has more drama than all of the others combined. Alien R. is the campiest movie off the series, because the other genres are worn out. It is funny and good. All are different, and should be regarded as completely independent.
Since I love this movie for being bad------------6
