This thread is for discussing the "Alien" series. Whether or not you think AvP & AvP 2 is in the series....well that's up to you. Anyway, discuss.
You know the drill.

I haven't seen AvP2 and I can't remember the plot of AvP so fuck 'em.
I've got the Quadrilogy boxset and it took me almost two weeks to get through it.
Aliens is untouchable.
Alien is a different kind of movie that like Godfather & 2001, I have to be in a certain kind of mood to watch and I usually choose dumb action over.
Alien 3....I've got no problem with it. It had the tough job of following Aliens but I like it.
Alien Ressurection....It's ok. The weakest of the four and Ripleys Alien kid looks like a Jim Henson creation. Still a shit site better than the rubbish that came after it.

As you all may have noticed the Aliens trilogy is my all time favorite movie franchise. I say trilogy because I consider Resurrection to be a monolithic failure that should have never been made. Frankly I thought the AVP comics and the video games were great, however the films I wholeheartedly abhor. Too many continuity errors, poor plot, terrible cast. It's nothing but expensive special effects and CGI to satisfy a younger generation of fans.

I'm also a big fan of the Alien series as well and I like all four films in the Quadrilogy. I thought AVP and AVP-R were average though and pretty disappointing. Alien and Aliens are in my top 10 and I think they are brilliant and I think Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection are underrated.

Finally saw AVP-2 last night. I liked this one. Shame it will always be tied to that abortion omelet (AVP 1) ***** spoiler ****** I was a little odd how that one alien pumped alien or eggs into that pregnant woman. WTF was that? Kinda blew the whole egg=> face-grabber => alien idea. The cliffhanger at the end was a little out of the story line. Other that that is was quality violence.

Saw it at the pictures in February. Lots of bloody action, with one of my favourite bits being those college jocks getting it from the alien in the swimming pool . It was better than AvP which was simply just watered-down shit.
