SO far... I am on the third. I have only liked the second one. Of the new one? Prometheus.
You didn't like Alien? If not, you are not going to like most of them.
I hope this movie turns the franchise around because I love the original trilogy. I am not betting on it though.
Edit: I just went back and read the previous page. There is a lot of great discussion about the last few movies in the franchise.
Frankly, I'm getting pretty damn sick of having female leads in EVERY Alien movie. It just feels so forced now. It would be so refreshing to see a male lead in one of these films. It's just one more aspect of the formula that is so narrow and tired. It's like those one of those Babushka dolls and every film we're just going to get lesser copy of Ellen Ripley.
Well, Bond movies are about James Bond. Every Mission Impossible follows Ethan Hunt. Several Alien films now haven't even featured Ellen Ripley so it's not really the same thing.
But I mean, you make a character like Hicks the lead in an Alien movie and it suddenly feels fresh instead of last week's frozen meatloaf reheated in a microwave.
