Aliens - 9/10
Gotta love it as one of those classic action flicks.
Prometheus - 9/10
It might be horror rather than guns-blazing unlike Aliens, but that's where the beauty is...at least for me. Knowing just WHAT the hell made the extraterrestrials is an added bonus.
Alien - 8/10
Massive difference from the all-out action in the second movie, but isn't that where the suspense is? Sneaking around, always on the edge of your seat, and the build-up to the final climax kept me excited all the way.
Predator - 8/10
They say the first is generally the best, and that's certainly true in this case.
Predator 2 - 7/10
Well, interesting spin from the first instalment.
Predators - 7/10
A cheap ripoff from the original movie. Didn't really feel it was as great as the first one since the Pred's got killed so damn easily. And they're supposed to be Bad Blood; ie, more badass than the Jungle Pred. What the hell?!
Alien 3 - 5/10
Intriguing idea, to take the alien threat out of space. The tone here was MUCH darker than even in Alien, thanks to the Runner slaughtering even more victims. And Ripley's suicide. Also, *SPOILERS AHEAD* Hicks was apparently on Fiorina when she fell into the fire, but he couldn't do jack$hit to save her. (Yes, he was NOT killed from the crash!)
Alien R - 5/10
I find this hilarious. Ripley is resurrected, so is the queen...only this time their abilities are SWAPPED! Not too sure who came up with the idea to insert human DNA into the aliens. Nonetheless, it kinda dumbed down the original movie. But still, nice twist.
AVP R - 3/10
Horrible lighting, props to whoever was in charge. Couldn't see $hit three-quarters of the time. Also, the aliens were MUCH weaker than in AVP. Total 180 degree change... But, you gotta give credit to the crew member responsible for censoring blood and gore: That is where this movie shines.
AVP - 3/10
Same level as the sequel. Why you might ask? Well, when they brought two species together for a fight to the death one has to be stronger isn't it? That's why Grid SINGLE HANDEDLY crushed two of the Pred's. Giving the aliens a tactical advantage that was later turned around in the second instalment...
Anyway, those are my scores.
