Considering Alien is basically a cerebral B-Movie with some very intelligent ideas with regards to the alien lifecycle from Dan O'Bannon, the alien design from Giger, and the "working class tension" dialogue/dynamics from Hill/Giler, I'd say that stating Alien 3 is the most intelligent of the Alien series is quite some claim!Markgway wrote:Alien 3 ***
Under-appreciated sequel remains the most intelligent, most dramatic, and best acted entry in the series. The extended cut is certainly valid on its own terms, but on balance I still prefer the theatrical cut.

I stand by my remark. Watch Alien 3 again. There's a lot going on. Alien maybe a 'smart B-movie' but its ideas are nowhere near as developed or interesting. What Alien has is the benefit of being 'the original'. It introduces... but Alien 3 has the harder task and succeeds.Shingster wrote:Considering Alien is basically a cerebral B-Movie with some very intelligent ideas with regards to the alien lifecycle from Dan O'Bannon, the alien design from Giger, and the "working class tension" dialogue/dynamics from Hill/Giler, I'd say that stating Alien 3 is the most intelligent of the Alien series is quite some claim!

Machette ★★★★ out of ★★★★★
Fun-trashy-silly-enjoyable, and very violent.. the story is all over the place though, and I was going to give it a half mark less, but on reflection I did really enjoy the viewing experience. Not as good as Planet Terror though, and why the hell did they cut out Rose McGowan's scenes?

FTR. I thought 'I, Robot' was just OK, but Will Smith was mis-cast. Film could've been a lot better.

Re: What general film/series have you just seen.. marks out
I enjoyed I Robot, good entertaining movie.
Robin Hood was OK but silly at times - eg somehow Robin persuaded the King to sign the Magna Carta - what!
The stylish use of art/paintings in the credits was clever.

Re: What general film/series have you just seen.. marks out
A rather pointless suggestion to someone who reviewed the Alien Anthology release and sat through Alien 3 at least three times late last year, trust me when I say I know Alien 3 inside and out! I've actually possibly seen Alien 3 more times than any other Alien film over the years, as it's one of those titles I've ended up revisiting for a number of reasons - It's not my favourite in the series, but I do enjoy it, and have certainly seen it more times than Aliens!Markgway wrote:I stand by my remark.

I think people tend to overlook just how intelligently crafted Alien is right across the board, mostly because it is a "B Movie" and it's also so lean and naturalistic - and most of all it was original in many ways and defined so many genre staples. Alien 3 is more obviously "intelligent" imo, it's operatic and has lofty themes that aren't satisfyingly explored because of the studio and also Fincher's naivety at time. I like to think of Alien 3 more like a richly flavoured wine that was bottled wrong and hence never reached its potential, just came out a little blander than it should have.

Lol... I forgot you did that series of reviews.Shingster wrote:A rather pointless suggestion to someone who reviewed the Alien Anthology release and sat through Alien 3 at least three times late last year
Ridley Scott makes it look like an 'A' movie. Tech credits are superb. I'm not saying that Alien doesn't deserve praise, it's just that I think Alien 3 is a better movie and that too many critics can't see past 'the original'.I think people tend to overlook just how intelligently crafted Alien is right across the board, mostly because it is a "B Movie"
Yes, it had the luxury of getting there first. Then Cameron followed with a bombastic blockbuster. Fincher had a very tough task, but I think on the whole he succeeded. There are flaws, but IMO it's the strongest and smartest of the series. I don't expect everyone to agree.and most of all it was original in many ways and defined so many genre staples.
Under difference circumstances we could have been talking about a truly classic movie instead of just a really good one.Alien 3 is more obviously "intelligent" imo, it's operatic and has lofty themes that aren't satisfyingly explored because of the studio and also Fincher's naivety at time.

Re: What general film/series have you just seen.. marks out
Fast Five - 3.5/5
Surprisingly good 5th entry. Would have benefitted from more driving and less crashing/exploding/breaking places mayhem, but still very solid. Got some amazingly manly scenes. You don't get that stuff often these days. And now I know it, God is black!
The best film I've seen in the series. The 1st one gave me a headache, the 3rd one was total wasted potential (why shoot in Tokyo when your screenplay could just as well take place in any foreign country?), the 4th one I missed. The 2nd one was my favorite before, delightingly dumb and fun.

Re: What general film/series have you just seen.. marks out
Keep missing the 4th one, its the worst CGI cars and CGI locations for the most part! make CGI stunts seem very CGI.
Mind you i just bought it on Blu Ray
