    Alien or Aliens ? -- which was the best ?

    Alien or Aliens ? -- which was the best ?

    I think we all can agree to leave 3 and 4 out of the contest

    Alien or Aliens ?

    Tough call .......

    Alien was scary as hell, but Aliens was just so much fun....

    I'd have to pick Aliens as my fav movie of the series.

    What about you ?

    Boy good question Mike. I loved them both. They first one was very suspenseful. I think the ex-military man in me liked Aliens better though. Gotta love that hispanic chick Vasques, she was hot AND tough.

      I'd have to say Aliens! As much as I love Ridley Scott...Alien is just to slow. James Camron really cranked it up, into a full blown action Flic!

        Aliens also had that Power Loader finale.

        It's probably one of the best finales of any Sci Fi movie ...

        And yes -- Vasquez was a babe-- for sure !!!

          Alien was more of a Sci-Fi movie and Aliens was more of a Action movie set in space. I really have never compared the two because of these two differences. Aliens 3 was actually pretty good, I never saw 4.

            4 wasn't bad-bad......
            But it's not a movie I care to see very often.

            Winona Ryder did act pretty good as the robot...

            But it really didn't have any characters a person cared for.

            If a movie's audience don't care if the cast lives or dies, the movie is doomed from the start.

                It would have to be Aliens because it showed the consequences of the first movie.
                Yes Alien is a little bit slow but that adds to the jump 'n shock moments.
                Alien feels more isolation based but I like the humour and charactor interaction in Aliens.
                Alien 9 1/2 out of 10
                Aliens 10 out of 10

                And still they kept on making them until the idea of
                an Alien movie is ruined and then they decided to ruin
                yet another movie franchise Predator...Why ???

                  Aliens,especially after they added the new opening to it. Filled in a nice big missing gap.

                    Hmmmm....

                    Gotta go with Alien. Even today it's DIFFERENT from most flicks. Aliens wasn't a bad film; but it became the template for almost every action/sci-fi film that followed. So watching it now feels really old hat, 'cos I've seen a zillion clones over the years.

                        Aliens for me,it kept me on the edge of my seat the 1st time i saw it,the bit with the sentry guns is quite good and power loader fight.

                        Would liked to of seen a movie where the Aliens are on earth at the (Company's Labs)escapes and causes havoc.Have to see what A vs P Requiem is like?

                              They are so totally different that it's hard to compare, but I think AlienS is the one I enjoy most. Bill Paxton helps make that movie for me.

                              I actually like the 3rd one quite a bit, took some time though, it had to grown on me.
